Business Advisory: A Quarterly Engagement for Founders and Owners
Executive coaching is one session and one plan. Business Advisory is the ongoing version: a multiple-time Inc. 500 CEO working with you on the business every month, by video call, a full quarter at a time.
Who this is for
Founders and business owners who have built something real through sheer effort and are hitting the point where more effort is not the answer. It fits owners who want an advisor who has run companies, and who want someone holding them to the plan between sessions, not just helping them write it.
What a quarter includes
A 90-minute quarterly planning session. Set the quarter’s three to five priorities, owners and measures using the Focused Systems Method.
Two 60-minute working sessions a month. Review progress against the plan, work the hardest decision on the table, and set the next actions.
Email access between sessions. Send a decision, a draft or a problem when it comes up instead of waiting for the next call.
A quarter-end review. Score the quarter, keep what worked, and set the next quarter’s priorities.
All sessions are by video call.
What a working week can look like
For example, a founder is expanding a service while delivery capacity is tight. At Monday’s review, they compare the quarter’s growth priority with current delivery evidence. Before a scheduled working session, they send the decision and options by email. The session resolves the trade-off, names an owner, and sets the next action. In a week without a call, the founder still updates the plan and can raise a question by email; the next session tests what changed against the same quarterly priorities.
Advisory or executive coaching?
Executive Coaching is a single 30- or 60-minute strategy session. You leave with a clear plan and run it on your own. See Executive Coaching →
Business Advisory is a quarter at a time. It adds what one session cannot: a plan for the quarter, working sessions twice a month, email access in between, and a quarter-end review, so the plan gets followed through, not just written.
How to start
Advisory is priced by scope. Start with a 60-Minute Strategy Session ($169). It works on your biggest priority right away and doubles as the fit conversation. If advisory makes sense, we scope the quarter from there.
Real results from founders & owners
"Finally! The Focused Systems Individual Planner turned my scattered days into focused execution. The Neuro-Logical Levels exercise helped me realign my entire schedule in one afternoon. The overwhelm is gone, and my results are far more consistent."
— Founder, Professional Services Firm, Verified Individual Planner buyer
"Scaling my firm felt overwhelming until I started using the Executive Planner. The four-pillar system and daily rituals gave me the strategic clarity I had been chasing for years. It has been one of the best investments I've made in myself."
— President, Investment Firm, Verified Executive Planner buyer
