Feeling maxed the eff out -- like if one more thing is put on your plate, you'll burn it all down? This is for you.
Welcome to Golden Key Advisory
1:1 Strategic Support & Consulting
Where business owners come to get a simple & effective game plan and strategic support to bring order to chaos, and put out the fires that keep lighting your butt on fire.
"Finally feeling confident AND competent with how to scale my business!"
Before we partnered with Lauren, we were really struggling with scaling the business and team dysfunction that pulled me back into the weeds.
The biggest frustration we had was feeling like we didn’t have a clear path to get the business and team where we wanted them to be.
The biggest ROI and ROTI is my sanity.
I have clarity on how to move forward and can now see light at the end of the tunnel.
Lauren gave me the competency I needed to have in order to take our business to the next level.
Her advising on utilizing our team members in their best capacities has made our team function in a healthier way then we ever have had and our business has had record breaking growth since.

Tell me if this rings any bells, you’re…
- Feeling overwhelmed with the million things you have on your plate running the day-to-day of the business
- Feeling exhausted and struggling to make simple decision because you just can’t find the time to breath and think
- Wanting to take a vacation but have very little confidence the business will still be standing when you come back
- Feeling like your day runs you instead of you running your day
- Struggling to get out of the weeds; you know you cannot fix this by doing more because you physically can’t continue to do more
- Starting to resent how the chaos and stress of your business is now bleeding into other areas of your life
Now, take a breath, I got you. Now imagine for a moment what we can do together:
- Create a game plan to bring order to the chaos, and put out the fires that are lighting your butt on fire once and for all
- Having the confidence and clarity you’ve been longing for to know exactly what you need to do to take a step forward and get out from under your business
- Identify gaps in profitability and where you are leaking revenue so we can shore that up and keep more money in YOUR pocket
- Unlock your team and how to work with them more efficiently, profitably, and successfully to give you back TIME
- Finally feeling (and BEING) productive instead of busy and getting some gosh darn traction and momentum
- Setting you and your business up for sustainable success so you can take a much needed vacation whenever and to wherever you want moving forward.

Golden Key Advisory
Where business owners come to get traction and create sustainable scaling so that you can have the business you envision which is an ASSET, instead of a job!
Golden Key Advisory is for busy, overwhelmed business owners who are sick and tired of being tired and buried.
You want to get out of the business day to day, but because every day presents a new barrage of fires and “things to do” you’re just not sure how to get off the reactive rollercoaster.
You know your business has a next level but you can’t do more. You need support, leverage, strategy, and a plan to get you out of the weeds and back into the parts of your business that you love.
You need the biz doctor.
Lauren is going to be your advisor, your right hand – a neutral third party here to help you navigate getting to the next level as seamlessly and simply as possible.
Together, she is going to help you shift your business from reactive to proactive, from job to asset, from chief-everything-officer to true business leader and have a heck of a lot of fun along the way. Sound like exactly what the doc ordered? Here’s the skinny.
How it works:
First, the most exciting part of this is that this isn’t just for you, nope!
You get TWO seats – one for you and one for your second in command so we can make progress faster and cut out the whole game of telephone to your chief implementor and second in command.
Part 1: Check those Business Vitals
There are few things I hate more than bandaids and whack-a-mole in business. Save that for someone else, we don’t do that here.
The first place we start is with a diaagostic look into your business so we treat the root causes of what’s keeping you trapped, not red herrings.
Surgery not bandaids to actually move the business forward consistently and get you off this overwhelm spiral.
We look at your
- People (team)
- Process (ops)
- Profit (where is your revenue leaking, revenue cliffs, and concentrated risks)
We dig deep into your business to see whats working and what’s not so we focus on the right things that will make the biggest impact.
We want to make sure what we uncover will have positive ripple effects in the business as a whole, not in a silo and are the best use of your limited time and resources.
Part 2: Proactive Planning: Strategy to Scale Sustainably
Once we have that clear picture of your business from the diagnostic, we break it down into bite size (and doable) game plan to bring clarity to the chaos.
Your game plan includes:
- Your top priorities for the next 6 months such as key hires, operational changes, profitability improvements, etc.
- Any threats we see coming down the pipe like concentrated risks, revenue cliffs, team red flags and how to address them
- And of course a report to find the money in your business so you can instantly save money on the bottom line and make more profits from your team.
Part 3: Business Rhythms & Consistency to Maintain Momentum
So much success is dependent on you getting out of the weeds and staying out. Learning to focus on what really moves the needle and fills your cup which is a muscle you are going to have to grow.
So you and Lauren are going to be in the business gym month to month making sure you are staying the course, being consistent, accountable, and in committed action to ensure that you don’t get back on the burnout roller coaster, that your profits keep growing, that you set up your business for success to run without you when you take that long overdue vacation.
It’s time for you to run your business instead of feeling like it is running you.
Bottom line: We know you are time poor, wearing all your many hats, so GKA is designed simplify and give you the accountability, plan, and structure you need to get out from underneath that mountain of business day-to-day and actually feel like you are making progress not just treading water.
Bottom line: We’re going to help you finally breathe a sigh of relief with your business, get out of the trenches, make a bigger impact, increase profitability - and enjoy your business (and life) again!
She gives me tools so I am empowered to do this on my own – not just theory – she gets inside my business and feels like an extension of my business, like a partner, not just a resource that will go away!

"CONFIDENT ABOUT WHO WE NEED TO HIRE AND HOW"
Before we partnered with Lauren, we were having trouble finding competent staff. The biggest frustration we had was feeling like we were at a dead end or worse a never ending carousel of employee turnover.
It was during the diagnostic phase that it really hit me how valuable and different her consulting is. She actually helped us save $150,000 in top line team expenses!
Working Lauren and her team was a wonderful and worthwhile experience that I would recommend to any business leader looking to improve not only their business and teams, but also themselves as leaders.

COMMON QUESTIONS:
Here are some of our common questions.
If you have other questions, feel free to reach out to hello@goldenkeypartnership.com or book a call.
While I don’t know your schedule, what I do know is the ROTI (return on time invested) will pay massive dividends.
My goal is not to create more work for you but actually to get you unburied and your business running without you which will take work and time so you will need to prioritize our work because it is going to bring you the clarity to calm the chaos and actually CREATE time.
Our work together is designed to work WITH your business.
It is long tail work that does take commitment and consistency, that being said I have never had a client not get results.
The caveat here is that everyone’s results are different and specific to your business so before we even begin we make sure the results you are looking to achieve are clear and we have a plan to get you there.
YUP! You’re actually who this was designed for… the “on the verge of burnout” entrepreneur.
Our work together is designed to get you out of this spread too thin stage in the trenches. (and spoiler, it is simpler and closer than you think!)
Golden Key Advisory is geared towards 7-Figure service(-based) businesses that have teams of at least 3-5.
If you are just starting to grow your team then we have something else that would be a better fit for you called the CEO Strategy Session – where we set you up for foundational success so when you do hire, you do it right and you don’t waste time or money.
If that is something you would like to know more about email us and we would be glad to send some more info your way.
