BUSINESS OWNERS
GET THEIR LIVES BACK
Follow our playbook to increase your profits, implement systems
to improve operations and build a team that can operate without you -
giving you the money and freedom to live the life you really want.
WHO WE WORK WITH
I work with a wide variety of established small business owners.
What they all have in common is a high degree of expertise in a trade or profession, but limited business experience.
As one of my clients put it: “they don’t teach you how to run a small business in graduate school.”
Most of my clients fit into one of these categories:
Professional Services Businesses
Boutique firms with 5-20 employees.
Accountants, Lawyers, Engineers, Marketing Agencies, Consultants, and Advisors.
Construction, Trades, & Manufacturing
Small businesses with 5-20 employees.
Construction, Electrical, Roofing, HVAC, Machine Shops
High Performing Solo Professionals
Solo practitioners who earn (or want to earn) multiple six figures.
Realtors, Consultants, Business Coaches, Advisors.
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT COACHING
Our revenues went from around $300K - $400K per year to over $3 million per year.
One of John’s innovative approaches is his compounding effect system for calculating leads to conversions and repeat buyers.
After implementing this system, we now run almost completely on repeat business - including a very large ongoing contract that we landed in part due to John’s advice during contract negotiation.

My staff used to come to me for every little thing - now they run the place without me
It used to be that everything that happened in my business, somebody had to ask me a question. I was being harangued by people morning, noon and night.
Now I have time to spend with my family and get to the gym.
My plant is more productive, my employees are happier and the business is growing and profitable.
- Fred Lyhne, Simalex Die Casting
After paying ourselves, we’ll have a quarter million in profit - maybe even more.
We’re making more money than we’ve ever made before.
Without a doubt, our main issue was that we weren’t charging properly. John was the only person who identified the problem - and fixing this literally turned the company around.
Now, our margins are great and we’re on pace for record profitability this year.
- Jeff Boyer, Mountain West Roofing
DO ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS
SOUND FAMILIAR?
“I can’t take time off. The place would fall apart without me.”
You’re busy all the time, but you’re not making any progress. You’re making the sales, meeting with customers and suppliers, and constantly at the beck and call of your staff. The business feels disorganized, you’re afraid that things are slipping. You seem to always be putting out fires. Vacation? What’s that??
“I can’t seem to hire the right people. They do poor quality work - or they quit.”
You can’t seem to hire the right people. Or they don’t stay. Or they only do the bare minimum. Or you can’t find anyone who wants to work. Or they need so much supervision that it feels like it might just be easier to do the work yourself.
“I’m not bringing in enough money. I’m working too hard to make so little in return.”
Sleepless nights worried about cashflow and making payroll. Maybe some months you don’t get paid because everything else comes first. Sales may be up, your accountant might say you’re doing great - but no matter how much is coming in, it’s never enough.
