If you’ve been wondering or asking yourself: 
“Is the team I have now going to get us to the next level vision I have for my business?” “How am I going to fill the team gap we have? I am so-so at hiring. Who can help me with the hard parts and heavy lifting to ensure a successful hire?” “How do I get off the merry-go-round of frustration playing whack-a-mole every day with my business instead of being able to proactively & strategically prioritize, plan, hire, and scale?” “I feel like something is off in my business or team that is preventing us from sustainable (and profitable) scaling, but I don’t know what. How do I get that clarity?” “Is there someone who can come in and tune up my business with me? We’ve got a good thing going but I know it needs some more team and operation support to grow where I want it?” READ ON. This post is for you. —

This is for you if… You don’t have a second in command and want a power partner walking alongside you in the business.

This includes:
- Full Business Diagnostic
- Lauren steps in to execute key projects in the business with you and oversees all critical hires to fill team and ops gaps.
Outcomes I guarantee:
- High-performing team
- Business silos are removed
- Team clarity achieved (who does what, when and how)
- You, the business owner, is either out of the trenches, enjoying the business and true entrepreneurial freedom or we have a rock solid plan to get you there as soon as possible.
- A sustainable business that is on track to scale without you which is an asset and not a liability – a true business and not a job.
The mission for this role is to be the conductor of the business, making sure all the moving parts of the business are led by the right people and working together toward the business goals to elevate the business owner out of the trenches and allowing the business to scale more simply, easily, sustainably, and profitably.
