Break Through the Growth Ceiling
Your strengths got you here — now they’re the ceiling on your growth.
You’ve built a $2–5M clinic — but the habits, decisions, and leadership style that got you here may now be holding you back. I help practice owners reclaim time, align their team, and scale without eroding culture, margin, or your own energy.
Are You Stuck in the Success Trap?
In the early years, grit and hands-on leadership built your business. But those same strengths can quietly become the ceiling on its potential — the mesh that once gave structure now limits how far it can grow.
Signs You Might Be Here:
You’re still the backstop for too many decisions
Culture feels strained as the team grows
Margin gets thinner even as revenue rises
Leadership team isn’t fully owning outcomes
Breaking free requires more than tactics — it requires a shift in how you see yourself as a leader. I help owners redesign how they lead, align their teams around clear metrics, and scale toward expansion, acquisition, or freedom — on their terms.
How I Help
From Growth Ceilings to Scalable Leadership
You don’t need more tactics — you need an operating system for scale. Together, we design a simple, durable way to run the business so growth becomes easier and your role becomes lighter.
The Investor Journey Framework
Operational Integrity – Clear roles, efficient workflows, and systems that eliminate bottlenecks
Financial Clarity – Metrics that reveal the real story and guide decisions
Management System – Rhythms, KPIs, and decision rights to align your team
Leadership Depth – Leaders who own outcomes and solve problems at the right level
Investor Mindset – Shift from operator to owner, focusing on high-value moves like expansion, acquisition, or building a life you love
For Founders Who’ve Built Something Real, and Want What’s Next
I work with service-based founders leading multi-location, multimillion-dollar companies who want to scale without losing what makes their business worth leading.
You might recognize yourself if:
Your business generates $1.5M to $5M+ in annual revenue.
You have a leadership team, but you’re still the safety net for too many decisions.
Protecting margin is harder despite higher revenue.
Culture feels the strain of scaling.
You’re eyeing expansion, acquisition, or exit readiness.
What you value:
Clear thinking and data for confident decisions.
Leaders who own results and handle complexity.
Sustainable growth that builds enterprise value and personal freedom.
If you see yourself here, the next stage of growth requires a different way of leading — and that shift starts at the top.
Proven Results:
🚀 300+ practices coached
💵 20–40% average revenue growth in 12 months
⏳ Clients save 10+ hours weekly
🏆 90% client retention rate
Real Change. Measurable Impact.
My clients already had successful companies — the difference came when they stopped being the backstop and started leading like CEOs.
Meet Steven
Steven helps 7-figure founders break free of the “success trap” and scale without burning out. His approach combines vision with precision — using metrics, leadership clarity, and systems that actually work.
When he’s not coaching, you’ll find him chasing big challenges, like climbing Mt. Rainier or hiking the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim-to-rim. To him, business leadership is a lot like those climbs: every step forward counts, even when it feels impossible.
