Your Business Has Grown—But Has Your Operating System?

What got you to $3M won’t get you to $10M.

Most owners don’t realize their company has outgrown its original operating system—usually a mix of gut feel, hustle, and a few spreadsheets.

If your team is misaligned, progress is inconsistent, and you’re stuck making every decision…
it’s time for a better system.

The Hidden Problem: You’re Running on the Wrong OS

When companies grow, complexity multiplies:

  • More people = more communication breakdowns
  • More customers = more challenges
  • More revenue = more risk if the team isn’t aligned

But most teams are still operating on a “startup system”—no shared playbook, no clear goals, and no accountability.

The Signs Your OS is Holding You Back

  • Your leadership team talks about the same problems over and over
  • You set quarterly goals—but don’t hit them
  • There’s no consistent way to track performance
  • You feel like the only one thinking long-term

The Solution: Upgrade Your Operating System

I help business owners install a customized Business Operating System to:

  1. Clarify the Vision
    • Everyone knows where you’re going and why it matters.
  2. Align the Leadership Team
    • Each person owns their seat and is accountable for results.
  3. Drive Execution
    • With weekly scorecards, 90-day priorities, and a consistent meeting rhythm.

How to Know If You Need a New Operating System

  • You’re constantly repeating yourself
  • Accountability is hit or miss
  • You’re the glue holding it all together
  • The business is growing, but it’s getting heavier, not easier

Ready to Upgrade?

I work with owners and leadership teams ready to scale with clarity, accountability, and momentum. Let’s install a system that works—so you don’t have to do it all.

About the Author

As many of you know, my journey has been one of grit, grace, and transformation. At 19, I was a high school dropout, single father, and struggling paint contractor in Michigan. I later moved to Florida, where I faced both personal and professional hardships. With nothing left to lose, I turned to prayer—and was blessed with a relentless hunger to learn. I devoured books, attended seminars, and discovered better ways to streamline and grow my business—even through the Great Recession (and yes, I did hit the wife lottery along the way!). In 2014, I published How To Double Your Business and later sold the painting business, launching a new chapter: coaching others to grow their businesses. For the past 10 years, I’ve dedicated myself to helping business owners scale through the DYB System, while also drawing from frameworks like EOS, Scaling Up, and The Four Disciplines of Execution. Yet something was still missing—something more adaptive, integrated, and complete. Then I found Pinnacle. After months of research and interviews with other Guides, I joined Pinnacle. Their tools and strategies have exceeded every expectation. Now, as a Pinnacle Business Guide, I help leadership teams implement a custom-tailored operating system that draws from the best in the industry—but flexes with your unique business. It’s a dynamic, proven approach to achieve clarity, momentum, and lasting growth. I’m no longer taking on any more 1:1 coaching clients… Instead, I now specialize in working with visionary business owners who are ready to get their leadership teams aligned—around a clear vision, a focused strategy, and an actionable execution plan. With the tools and process I now have as a Pinnacle Business Guide, I help turn alignment into momentum, and momentum into results. If your business is growing—but your leadership team isn’t fully rowing in the same direction—let’s talk.
