What Makes Us Nothing Like Other Firms
Our Five Core Values
1
Business owners deserve better long term outcomes
Anyone that makes the sacrifices to build a successful business should enjoy total financial independence.
3
Coaching is the key to meaningful change
Even the best professionals can’t do much for an owner that isn’t willing to improve themselves as an owner
5
It takes owning a business to understand business owners
Any professional can understand a business as an asset but only another owner can know what it really means to own a business.
2
It’s all starts with understanding the big picture
We start with what you value the most and make sure that no one ever takes their eyes off of it.
4
Building real value in a business is a team sport
Building a successful business might be possible with on your own but creating a sellable one will require the right team.
What To Expect When
You Work With Us
The way that we work isn't for everyone.
So we don't work with just anyone.
Most firms look for clients based on their size, industry or assets.
That might work for them, but it doesn't work for us.
All of our most successful clients have three things in common.
Our owners are
Motivated
We don't work with business owners that are content with their business.
We work with owners that want something more from their business, today and in the future.​​​​​​
​
​
​
Our owners are
Coachable
We don't work with business owners that aren't interested in personal development.
​
We work with owners that understand that having a better business, means becoming a better business owner.​
​
Our owners are
Generous
If your only goal is to make as much money as possible at any cost, there are much better firms that will gladly help you.
We work with owners want to win with their employees, customers, partners and community, not at their expense.
What Our Clients Have To Say
“There is no substitute for having someone on our team that has lived it as a business owner himself like John has. He doesn’t just understand what we want, he knows how to help us get it.”
Home Services Business Owner
“Working with John and Corwin has given us a much clearer picture of what we need to do in our business to meet our long term goals. We’re now well on our way to building the kind of business that we always wanted.”
Consumer Goods Business Owner

FAQs
Why should I start thinking about my exit when it isn't even my radar?
Because the reality is that achieving your ideal exit outcome will likely require 3 - 5 years. By the time an owner is ready to exit, there is little that can be done to impact their outcome. The best reason, is that there is no downside to creating a strategy as early as possible.
Our methodology isn't carving an exit plan in stone like most other advisors. We create as many long term options for our owners as possible. They will all make your business more profitable, stable and much better to own in the meantime.
Why start every engagement with the survey?
There isn't one single aspect of business strategy or personal planning that exists in a vacuum. It doesn't matter how good any particular plan is, what matters is how well they work together.
Our proven survey guarantees that we're not just making good recommendations, it guarantees that we're implementing the best strategy for you and all of your long term goals.
Why do I need one strategist to run my entire advisory team?
Just like there isn't any one single aspect of business strategy or personal planning that can exist in a vacuum, the same can be said for the professionals required to execute them.
A successful exit will require multiple disciplines, firms and professionals, all with different engagement time periods, interests and focus areas. If there isn't a single, experienced professional that is accountable for the work of the rest of them, that responsibility falls on the business owner who usually lacks the time, experience and resources to manage such a complex initiative.
My business is doing really well, why do I need all of this planning?
The fact is that whatever plans you have following your business, they will all require steady income provided by either a stable, hands off business or the net proceeds from the sale of it.
Even very profitable businesses are vulnerable to unanticipated circumstances. They can also be difficult to sell without the right preparation. The right strategy and execution will mitigate both of these threats to the long term future of you, your family and your business.
