1:1 Startup Consulting
1-Day VIP Intensives for founders who refuse to bet their futures on trial and error.
In just one day, get the clarity, guidance and custom roadmap you need to fast-track profitability and get funded.
There may not be any “shortcuts” to business success. But there is a fast track.
You have a big vision. But data shows that it takes most startups an average of 5-10 years to become truly successful (and 90% won’t even make it that long).
Some people may be okay with spending 5-10 years in the red while trying to figure things out on their own. But if you’ve had a healthy income and been waiting for forever to turn your dream into a reality, the idea of waiting a decade to replace your income might drive you to the nearest pint (drink or ice cream… your choice).
Having spent the last 20-plus years advising entrepreneurs across all industries, I’m here to tell you that you can create your own shorter timeline for success.
VIP Day: Startup Roadmap
Most startups fail to grow and get funded for a very simple reason: they can’t see the weaknesses and gaps in their business model that are keeping investors from investing — and buyers from buying. During this custom 2-hour session, we’ll dive into the details of your vision and lay the groundwork for a rock-solid foundation that paves the way for profits. Kickstarting your road to success, I’ll give you the clarity, direction and roadmap you need so you can jump on the fast track to building a growing business and attracting investors.

“My favorite part of our VIP Day was the dialogue that clarified what we’ve done right, what we’ve done wrong, and what we need to do moving forward.”

I believe that when starting a business, you have two choices:
Go it alone.
You can go it alone, learning slowly and painfully through trial and error.
Get expert guidance.
You can get expert guidance from the start, so you’ll be more likely to get funded, less likely to fail and become profitable sooner.
You’re in the driver’s seat.
Success is never guaranteed, and you won’t be able to completely avoid making mistakes. But the great thing is that you’re in the driver’s seat.
You have the power to reduce your risk of failure and become profitable sooner. It starts with a simple phone call.
