For operators doing $250k–$2m who want the business to stop owning them, and for a small set of partnerships each year. Roughly four advisory clients and two partnerships annually. One conversation to start.
He’s 34. The business looks fine on paper: six figures, a small team, decent reviews. But his phone was in his hand at 5:58 this morning, and he hasn’t had an unscheduled hour in months. He started this thing for freedom; somewhere it became the cage. He doesn’t want an empire. He wants his evenings back, a body that works, and a life that feels like one thing again instead of fifteen open tabs.

$250k–$2m in annual revenue. The business runs, with you in it. You want it to run without.
Sixty-hour weeks, no real time off, anxiety about anyone else picking up the phone. You know it doesn’t have to be this way; you just can’t see how it isn’t.
A sale is 12–36 months out. The business is profitable but not yet legible to a buyer. We rebuild the documentation, the org chart, and the metrics that make it sellable.
Revenue climbing, margins falling, hiring reactive. You’re a stage ahead of the systems underneath you. We slow down, rebuild the foundation, and relaunch the growth on top of it.
No discovery sequences, no nurture funnels.
Five questions about where you are, where you want to be, and what you’ve already tried. Read by me.
Not a sales call. A diagnostic. By the end we both know whether this is a fit.
A 12-week scope, a fixed fee, and a clear deliverable. No retainer surprises, no scope creep.
Weekly working sessions, asynchronous notes between, and the operational rebuild you came for.
In the interest of saving us both a conversation.
A small number of co-taught cohorts and joint sessions each year, usually with operators or platforms whose work I already know and trust.
Tools, agencies, and platforms in the home-services ecosystem: advisor, contributor, or keynote partner.
A small portfolio of operator-led acquisitions and investments in remote-runnable service businesses.
