What I do
Find the bottleneck. Build the fix. Hand it back working.
Not a report. Not a retainer that bills forever. A clear path from what's strangling the business to a system your team actually runs — and a price you can see before you call.
The ceiling
Every business that stalls is stuck on something specific.
It's never “the market.” It's a constraint you've been carrying so long it started to feel like the cost of doing business. Here's what it usually is.
Everything runs through you.
Every decision, every approval, every question. The business can't move faster than you can answer — so you became the ceiling without meaning to.
The pipeline runs hot and cold.
Slammed one month, crickets the next. When you're busy you stop selling, and when it's slow you scramble. That's not the market. That's a missing engine.
You're flying blind on the numbers.
You can't say which jobs make money and which are bleeding — until it's already a fire. Running on gut works right up until it very suddenly doesn't.
You grew, then stalled.
The hustle that built this thing is exactly what's capping it now. Starting a company and scaling one are different jobs.
Busy, but not profitable.
The top line looks fine and there's nothing left at the end of the month. You're funding the business with your own effort.
Not sure which one is yours? Six questions, two minutes, and you'll know.
Find your bottleneckThe path
Four steps. Clear prices. No surprises.
You don't have to buy the whole thing to start. Most owners begin with the Diagnostic and decide from there — with the full picture in hand.
Discovery Call
Free
A real conversation about where the business actually hurts.
- A straight read on what's likely constraining you
- Whether this is a fit — and I'll tell you if it isn't
- No deck, no pitch, no obligation
Anyone doing $1M+ who's hit a ceiling and wants a second set of eyes.
The Diagnostic
$2,500
Fully credited toward the build.
A deep audit of the whole business — and one live quick win before we're done.
- The whole operation read as one system: sales, delivery, people, money, tools
- The real constraint identified — not the loudest symptom
- The wasted spend and the money being left on the table
- One working quick win, built and live before the engagement ends
- A prioritized plan you own, whether or not you build with me
Owners who know something's wrong but can't name it — or can name it and want proof before they spend.
The Build
From $10,000
Scoped from the Diagnostic. Your $2,500 comes off the top.
We remove the bottleneck. I build the systems; your team learns to run them.
- The actual fix built — not specced and handed off
- Systems your team is trained to operate without me
- Automation and AI where they earn their place, not everywhere
- Documentation and SOPs so the fix outlives the engagement
Owners ready to change how the business operates, not just hear that they're doing fine.
The Partnership
From $2,500/mo
Fractional COO engagements start at $5,000/mo.
I stay in as long as it's earning its keep — the guide who's summited before.
- Ongoing optimization of what we built
- An operator in the room for the calls that matter
- New systems as the business outgrows the old ones
- A standing cadence — not a retainer you forget you're paying
Owners who want an operator beside them through the next stage, not another vendor.
The Diagnostic pays for itself before the build even starts. And it's credited toward it.
How it runs
What it's actually like to work with me.
You've hired consultants before. Here's how this is different, in practice.
I read the whole business.
Sales, delivery, people, money, tools — as one system. The constraint is rarely where the pain is loudest, and you can't find it by looking at one department.
I build it myself.
No handoff to a junior team, no offshore shop, no “here's the spec, good luck.” I've run companies and I write the code. That's the whole reason this works.
Your team learns to run it.
Every system ships with the training to operate it. If the fix depends on me forever, it isn't a fix — it's a dependency.
You get the business back.
That's the point. Not a longer engagement. Not a bigger scope. Your time and your company, back in your hands.
I've run the company. I can build the fix.
This works. But not for everyone.
It's for you if:
- You're doing $1M+ and you've hit a ceiling.
- You see AI as opportunity, not a threat.
- You're ready to change how you operate, not just hear that you're doing fine.
- You want a partner who builds, not an advisor who bills.
It's not for you if:
- You want the cheapest possible fix and nothing more.
- You want validation, not change.
- You want someone to hold your hand instead of hand you the business back.
- You're looking for a report to put on a shelf.
Do the work. Reap the harvest.
