Two Ways I Work With Clients
1️⃣ Business Audit
One-off engagement
“Before fixing anything, we need to understand what's really broken.”
The Business Audit is designed for owners who feel that something in the business isn't right — but can't confidently say what or why.
This is not a surface-level review and not a generic consulting exercise.
During the audit, we focus on:
- • where the business is leaking time, money, or customers
- • which problems are symptoms versus root causes
- • what actually deserves attention — and what doesn't
The outcome is clarity:
- • clear priorities
- • clear trade-offs
- • clear next steps
You walk away knowing:
- • what is holding the business back
- • what to fix first
- • what will not move the needle
This is a one-time engagement, designed to create understanding and direction.
Most clients use the Business Audit as the foundation for further improvement — either on their own or together with me.
2️⃣ Business Partner
Ongoing involvement
“Some problems don't get solved in a single project.”
The Business Partner engagement is for owners who want ongoing support, judgment, and accountability, not just advice.
In this role, I work alongside the owner to improve how the business runs and grows over time.
This may involve:
- • helping make better decisions, faster
- • supporting execution where it actually matters
- • addressing recurring issues before they escalate
- • keeping focus on what truly drives results
There is no predefined playbook and no fixed checklist.
The work evolves as the business evolves.
This engagement is:
- • selective
- • hands-on where needed
- • focused on outcomes, not activity
I don't act as an external advisor who drops in occasionally.
I act as a thinking and execution partner who stays involved.
How This Typically Works
Most engagements follow a simple path:
- 1. We start with a Business Audit to establish clarity
- 2. If ongoing support makes sense, we continue as Business Partner
- 3. If it doesn't, you leave with a clear plan and full ownership
Not every business needs a long-term partner.
Not every owner wants one.
That's intentional.
Who This Is For
This work is a good fit if you:
- • run a small or mid-sized business
- • feel that effort and results are misaligned
- • want honest thinking, not reassurance
- • value clarity over noise
- • are willing to act on uncomfortable insights
It is not a good fit if you:
- • are looking for generic advice
- • want a checklist or framework to follow blindly
- • expect quick fixes without real change
- • want to outsource responsibility
Next Step
If this resonates, the next step is a short introductory call.
We'll discuss:
- • your situation
- • what feels stuck
- • whether working together makes sense
If it doesn't, I'll tell you.
Good decisions compound. Bad ones linger.
