🌱 Helping Small Businesses Grow

As a stealth startup founder actively building my own business while managing two other side hustles, I intimately understand the growing pains of startups and small businesses.If you're a startup founder or small business owner trying to grow but stuck in "operational quicksand", I can be your strategic partner—without the full-time cost.I help you remove growth blockers by: Connecting strategy to practical execution Optimizing operational processes Building custom, centralized operational systems for efficient operations


⚙️ My Approach

I am outcome-driven.
Together, we'll pinpoint blockers to your business growth, define where you want to be, and establish clear long-term goals before creating a tactical strategy.
My leadership-to-execution ratio starts at 40:60 and stabilizes at 70:30—meaning I begin hands-on, implementing key changes, then gradually shift to empowering your team while increasing my strategic oversight.

"Insert client testimonial"

Client Overview

6 Degrees Media is a growing digital marketing agency struggling to balance day-to-day execution with strategic growth due to rapid scaling and team changes.

The Challenge

⚠️ Leadership Overload: Leadership couldn’t step away without things falling apart, spending too much time on quality control instead of business development.⚠️ Team Silos and Misalignment: Fragmented information across multiple platforms led to miscommunication, missed deadlines, and inconsistent deliverables.⚠️ Inefficient Task Management: Multiple task management boards created redundancy, making revisions and approvals hard to track and manage.

The Solution

Strategy Workshops – Aligned leadership's strategic goals with operational realities.Operational Audit & Optimization – Identified bottlenecks, process inefficiencies and designed optimized workflows and SOPs.Centralized System in Coda – Custom built a platform to efficiently track tasks across multiple projects and clients, facilitate cross-functional collaboration, speed up onboarding and manage sales pipeline.

The Results

Full Project Visibility – Clear visibility into project progress and cross-functional work reduced misalignment and missed deadlines.Automated Task Management – Task reminders and updates are now automated or a one-click trigger, reducing dropped tasks and last-minute scrambling.Structured Onboarding – New hires can onboard effectively within a month using a structured process and clear SOPs.

Bonus Wins

📌 New CRM: Built-in CRM captures client goals and transitions data from sales to execution, giving teams full visibility on client expectations.📌 Revision and Approval Tracking: Captured revision and approval data helps leadership spot patterns and delegate tasks more effectively.📌 Bulk Task Generation: New SOPs allow bulk task creation, cutting time spent on task setup and follow-ups.

Key Takeaway

I helped 6 Degrees eliminate operational chaos and build a scalable foundation for growth.By optimizing processes, centralizing operations and streamlining task management via a customized business operations solution, leadership is able to achieve a better balance between strategic growth and day-to-day execution work.
