How we help
Business owners often know something is wrong before they can name it. The symptoms below are what we hear most often from the people who come to us.
If any of these feel familiar, you're not alone. And there's usually more going on beneath the surface than the symptom itself suggests.
"I can't step away from my business"
You've built something real, but now it owns you. Every decision flows through you. Your phone never stops. The thought of taking a week off feels laughable—or terrifying.
Common root causes:
- •Systems that exist only in your head
- •Team members who wait for direction instead of taking initiative
- •No clear delegation framework
"Growth has stalled"
The business grew steadily for years, then plateaued. You're working harder but the numbers aren't moving. Something changed, but you can't pinpoint what.
Common root causes:
- •Market conditions have shifted
- •Internal systems can't support the next level
- •The founder's role hasn't evolved with the business
"My team isn't working"
You've tried different approaches to hiring and management. Some people leave too soon. Others stay but underperform. Building a reliable team feels like an unsolvable puzzle.
Common root causes:
- •Unclear role definitions and expectations
- •Hiring for skills instead of fit
- •Lack of development pathways
"AI feels overwhelming"
The headlines are relentless. Your competitors are talking about AI. Vendors are pitching solutions. But you can't tell what's real, what's hype, and what actually applies to your business.
Common root causes:
- •Too much noise, not enough signal
- •Fear of making expensive mistakes
- •Uncertainty about where AI actually helps
"I need to plan my exit"
Whether it's five years away or five months, you're starting to think about transition. Selling, passing it on, or stepping back—each path has questions you're not sure how to answer.
Common root causes:
- •Business value tied to your personal involvement
- •No clear successor or transition plan
- •Uncertainty about business valuation
"Cash flow keeps me up at night"
The business is profitable on paper, but cash always feels tight. Payroll, taxes, unexpected expenses—there's always something. Financial clarity feels just out of reach.
Common root causes:
- •Revenue timing mismatched with expenses
- •Lack of financial visibility and forecasting
- •Pricing that doesn't reflect true costs
