I help successful youth-business owners tell the truth about what’s happening, understand what’s actually causing it, and determine what needs to change without judgment, bu****it, or pretending everything is fine.

Listen...you could write an entire book filled with amazing ideas right now, and in twelve months, you'd literally be standing in the exact same spot. Why is that? Because having great ideas and doing something about them are two different things.

You can go to all the seminars. Listen to all the experts. Write down all the notes. Walk away feeling pumped and excited. But if you're still running around like a chicken with its head cut off inside of your business when you return?

All those ideas mean, don't they? Let me give it to you straight.
Everything does not have to be perfect the first time out of the gate.
Try. Observe. Adjust. Iterate. Above all else, STOP judging your results based upon someone else's progress! You have no clue where he/she began. What obstacles he has faced. Or how many months/years of work went into becoming proficient at whatever it is. Comparing yourself to someone else is a completely pointless exercise.
The only person you need to compare yourself to is last month's version of yourself.

Have you made better decisions? Implemented systems that used to intimidate you? Approached challenges in ways you never would have even considered before? Then congratulations! You're moving forward!
Note-taking? Idea gathering? Motivation? Sure, all those are good.
Just make sure you're putting those ideas INTO ACTION!

What's one thing you learned recently that you're finally going to implement?

What if the very thing making you miserable today is precisely what needs to happen for you to improve?

Yeah, yeah…that wasn't the news you wanted. Short-staffed? Poor performance from new staff members? Revenue below expectations? You're scrambling and trying to figure out how you're going to make all of this happen, and it's getting on your nerves. Fair enough.
However, here's another perspective worth considering. Rather than thinking, "Why did this happen to me?" think, "What can this teach me?"

For instance…are you learning how to lead your team in a completely different way? Are you finally addressing that system that has been broken and under-performing? Have you discovered you're capable of taking care of a lot more than you originally believed possible?
Struggle itself doesn't necessarily help you get better. What you choose to do with it does.

And next time you find yourself knee-deep in some kind of problem or issue within your company, try reminding yourself, "This stinks. But I can learn from this. I can adapt. I can improve."
You don't need to like every struggle. However, it might serve you well to ensure you aren't wasting a chance to develop through them.

Give it some serious thought.
What is one particular challenge that has forced you to become a stronger business owner?

Every business has that one problem that keeps coming back. The staffing issue you keep putting off. The process that only works when you oversee it. The team member who needs the same reminders every week. The decision you know you need to make but keep finding reasons to delay. You work around it. You deal with it. You tell yourself you’ll get to it when things slow down. But things rarely slow down on their own. And every problem you leave unresolved takes time and attention away from something more important.

You don’t have to fix everything at once. But you do have to decide what you’re no longer willing to tolerate. So, what’s one recurring problem in your business you’re ready to fix for good?

Sometimes, putting the problem into words is the first step toward doing something about it.

Let me ask you something. If you wanted to take two weeks off, could your business keep running without you constantly checking your phone, answering questions, or fixing problems? Or would everything start falling apart the moment you stepped away? That’s an important distinction.

A business should create opportunities for you, your family, and your team. It should give you more choices over time, not make you feel like you can never leave. That doesn’t happen by accident. It takes clear systems, capable people, and the willingness to stop being the answer to every problem. Revenue matters. Growth matters. But so does what your business allows you to do with your life.

Build a business that gives you options—not one that takes them away.

You can be an incredible coach and still struggle to run a profitable business. Coaching and running a business require two different skill sets. One is about developing people. The other is about building a team, managing finances, creating systems, and making decisions that move the business forward. If you’re the one handling every problem, answering every question, and making every decision, you haven’t built as much freedom as you might think. You’ve built a business that depends on you. And that becomes a problem as you grow. Your job isn’t to do everything better. It’s to build a business that doesn’t need you involved in everything.

You built this business for a reason. Make sure it’s working for you, too.

The challenges each individual faced - they weren't unique at all. In fact, they were practically identical across the board.
There were people who understood exactly what you were dealing with.
Now, here's why this matters.
The moment you recognize that these issues aren't yours alone, you free yourself up from the frustration that accompanies constantly feeling like you're failing.

Instead, you can approach the situation with genuine curiosity. Questions can be asked. Answers can be found. Best practices can be shared.
You can stop wasting your precious time reinventing the damn wheel.
And guess what? That's a huge fu***ng advantage.
Why wouldn't you take advantage of all the expertise available to you within your industry? Why wouldn't you use it to accelerate progress and save yourself headaches along the way?

That doesn't mean compromising your values or your standards. Far from it.
But it does mean accepting the truth. The challenges you face aren't uncommon. There are answers out there. You can find them through the power of connection.
Who knows? Your breakthrough may very well come from asking the right individual the right question.
So, who's someone within your network who could teach you a thing or two?

Got low conversion rates? Stop blaming your salespeople for a minute and consider taking a close look at your classes. Seriously.
Kids have to give a s**t for their parents to have any compelling reason to enroll them long-term.
Okay? You could train your team on how to ask for the sale. You could tighten up your follow-up. You could streamline your enrollment process.
And while yes, all of those things help...
None of them matter squat if your kids are not engaged by what goes on during class itself. That’s totally avoidable and yet I see the same mistakes again and again. And here’s the problem:
What do kids walk out thinking? Do they feel inspired? Excited? Wanting to share their experience with mom and dad? Or did they finish the session and mentally check out?

You see, the class isn’t over until the kids stop talking about it. It doesn’t end at the sound of that final buzzer. There’s how you wrap things up with your instructor team and what you do after class ends. Then how you reconnect with the parent afterwards.
You need an amazing class experience BEFORE you can realistically expect commitment from your families.

So before you ask yourself "How do we close better?" take a step back and ask:
Do our kids want to come back next week based on what happened in our classes?
Are we leaving them with something memorable enough to chat about at home?
Have we developed the full experience – mat to parent connection?

Because high conversions don’t always stem from killer closing scripts.
Sometimes they happen thanks to better classes.

You set aside time to work on growth. Maybe it’s improving your systems, developing your managers, or finally addressing a problem that’s been hanging around for months.
Then the interruptions start. A staff member needs an answer. A parent has a concern. Something gets missed. Another decision needs your attention.

Before you know it, the day is gone, and the work that could move your business forward gets pushed to tomorrow. Again. The problem isn’t that these things don’t matter. They do. But when every urgent issue takes priority, the important work never gets done.
And the longer that continues, the harder it becomes to move beyond the same problems you’ve been dealing with for years. Growth rarely happens by accident. You have to make room for it.

So, what keeps taking your attention away from the work that would make the biggest difference in your business? Maybe that’s the first thing you need to fix.

How many seminars have you attended? How many notes have you taken? How many great ideas are sitting in a notebook, waiting for the right time? Learning feels productive. You leave with fresh ideas, renewed motivation, and a list of things you want to change.
Then Monday comes. The same staff issues show up. The same problems need fixing. And those notes stay right where you left them.

There’s nothing wrong with learning. I believe in it. But information alone won’t change your business. Results come when you take what you’ve learned, put it into practice, and build it into the way your business actually operates. You don’t need to implement everything at once. You need to stop letting the important things stay on the to-do list. An idea's value isn’t what you learned. It’s what changes because you used it.

What’s one thing you already know you need to implement?

You can’t grow a business if every decision, every problem, and every loose end still lands on your desk. At first, being the person who handles everything feels like good leadership. Your team needs an answer; you give it. Something goes wrong, you fix it. A decision needs to be made; you make it. But over time, your team gets used to coming to you instead of figuring things out themselves. And without realizing it, you become the very thing slowing down the business you’re trying so hard to grow.

The answer isn’t to care less or work harder. It’s to build clear roles, better systems, and a team that knows what it owns. Your business shouldn’t need your involvement in everything to move forward.

If everything keeps coming back to you, it may be time to stop fixing individual problems and start fixing the structure behind them.
