Helping highly specialized, 7-figure service(-based) business owners finally get out from under their business and experience true entrepreneurial freedom.

It’s time to have a business you don’t need a vacation from.

(Unless you want to! But then we’ll make sure it’s easy to step away from)

As seen in...

100% quantifiable ROI! Working with Lauren gave me the clarity on who to strategically hire and because of this clarity, we’ve pretty much doubled or tripled monthly revenue month-over-month!

-Chris Schembra | CEO 7:47 and USA Today’s “Gratitude Guru” | NYC

Tired of playing whack-a-mole with your problems? We eat business problems for breakfast!

Here are some of our favorite client wins:

  • Uncovering and stopping a $250k/month coronary bleed in a client’s bottom line (when we did the post mortem it ended up being a $2M combined win to shore up the leak).
  • 15% bump in profitability by addressing one key friction point in the business operations.
  • $150,000k in top line expense reduction in 10 days.
  • A client finally being able to take a full 2 week vacation from their business to actually be with their family after 5 years and not have to worry about a thing.
  • Client churn rate dropped by 40% and client satisfaction increased by 250% when we identified the ROOT issue with the team & client fulfillment.
  • Cut out 20 hours a week of busy work and meetings for the team
  • $26,785 in leveraged revenue within 14 days after we uncovered and solved a revenue cliff in the back end of the business.

It is time to have a business that can sustainably scale without you feeling like it is all on you.

You’ll be the first to admit it: you LOVE what you do, but some days, it feels like…

You’re one team fire away from burning out (or saying f*ckit and burning the whole thing down)

You feel like the business can’t run without you (not true, I promise!) — and you can’t remember the last time you took a *real* vacation without checking your inbox or Slack.

While your revenue is growing, your profitability seems stagnant (and it feels like no matter how much money you make, your expenses just grow with it.)

You’re on a never-ending merry-go-round of hiring and firing, wondering how the heck to find and lead the team that’s going to bring everything to the next level.

Our work together will span 4 categories:

People (Team)

Building a lean, high performing, profitable and autonomous team that is the right fit for YOU.

Processes (Operations)

Ensuring a solid foundation of systems, processes, and ops to support your team and sustainable scaling.

Profits

Increasing cashflow, profitability, and shoring up any concentrated risks or revenue cliffs.

Leadership + Scalability

Getting you out from under your business so it can scale (and maybe be sold) without you feeling like its all on you.

Sound like exactly what you need?
Here’s How We Work With Business Owners Like you!

How do I get out from under my business?

Diagnostic Deep Dive+

 “I feel like something is off in my business or team that is preventing us from sustainable (and profitable) scaling, but I don’t know what. How do I get that clarity?”

Then our whole business diagnostic will give you the clarity you need & want!

We’re going to look at the whole body of the business and diagnose what is keeping you stuck in the trenches and also inhibiting sustainable scaling in three key areas, people, process, and profits. 

How do I stop playing whack-a-mole?

Golden Key Advisory

“How do I get off the merry-go-round of frustration playing whack-a-mole every day with my business instead of being able to proactively & strategically prioritize, plan, hire, and scale?”

Golden Key Advisory is going to help you do just that AND get your business running like a well oiled machine that is both more profitable and can scale sustainably!

This is for you if you are ready to scale your business sustainably and have true entrepreneurial freedom!  

You are looking for strategy, accountability, advising, and traction to start running your business, instead of the other way ‘round for you AND your second in command.

How do I Quantum Leap my business?

Fractional COO

I need a second in command to help me work smarter, not harder and build momentum quickly. 

It can sometimes feel like a big jump to go from growing your business to scaling your business. Fear not, we’ve got you!

As fractional COO, Lauren will come in and be the conductor of the business, making sure all the moving parts of the business are led by the right people and working together toward the business goals.  With the ultimate goal of extricating you out of the trenches and allowing the business to scale more simply, easily, sustainably, and profitably.

NOTE: Lauren only works with TWO businesses per year as fractional COO

"Finally feeling confident AND competent with how to scale my business!"

Before we partnered with Lauren, we were really struggling with scaling the business and team dysfunction that pulled me back into the weeds.

The biggest frustration we had was feeling like we didn’t have a clear path to get the business and team where we wanted them to be.

The biggest ROI and ROTI is my sanity.

I have clarity on how to move forward and can now see light at the end of the tunnel.

Lauren gave me the competency I needed to have in order to take our business to the next level.

Her advising on utilizing our team members in their best capacities has made our team function in a healthier way then we ever have had and our business has had record breaking growth since.

"I have a clear roadmap FINALLY"

I was in a place with my business where I had made a wrong hire and I didn’t have the time to get it wrong again.  

My confidence in leading my team and hiring who I needed was at an all time low.  I loved that her diagnostic deep dive was a concise way to get the exact help I needed – clarity on who I needed on my team to reach our business goals and how to not only find them but set them up for success.  

I now feel confident because she gave me a roadmap and bought me a lot of months of direction and clarity, the overall feeling of “I know what I am doing and can do it!” Lauren put me back in the game and showed me what to do in a way that made it so simple and easy to take action to move forward.
