We guide business owners to build the leadership, systems and financial discipline required to reach theirs.
Most business owners struggle in one or more of these four critical areas.
Complete lack of or confusing business mission that doesn't inspire or motivate anyone.
Failure to create or even understand vital reports that tell you what is going wrong and when.
Confusing or ill-communicated operational processes that amount to barely organized chaos.
Having the wrong people in the wrong seats and not being able to hold them accountable.
Reaching the summit in your business isn’t about working harder. It’s about building the leadership, systems, accountability and financial discipline that allows your business to grow without depending on you for every decision.
As a leader, your top priority is the long-term direction of your company. Your employees need you to have a clearly defined vision. We'll help you with the structure, training and resources to develop and communicate exactly that.
Once you can communicate your vision for the future, we'll partner with you to strengthen the internal infrastructure your company requires, like processes, leadership and employee development and more.
For nearly 30 years, Clay Dennis has experienced the challenges business owners face every day—long hours, employee issues, financial pressure, leadership demands, and the constant weight of responsibility.
Before becoming a coach, Clay spent 17 years building an award-winning company that grew to serve more than 15,000 customers and employ over 24 team members. Along the way, he learned a lesson many entrepreneurs discover too late: a successful business should not come at the expense of your health, family, or peace of mind.
After exiting his business in 2017, Clay dedicated his career to helping owners avoid common pitfalls, strengthen leadership, improve profitability, and build businesses that support the life they truly want.
With more than 12,000 hours of coaching and consulting experience, Clay combines real-world entrepreneurial experience with practical strategies that drive lasting results.

The length of any business coaching program depends on your unique goals, current business challenges and desired level of service. A typical program can run anywhere from 90 days to 18 months.
Similar to the length of a program, the investment for business coaching varies. However, in each and every company we've worked with, we've found ways to increase existing profits to more than cover the investment in coaching.
To that end, we offer packages for every budget including by the hour, by the month or by the project.
No. My experience as a business owner has taught me how bad we hate long-term contracts. While some of my engagements have lasted years, most last between 6 and 18 months. All an engagement requires is a 30 day notice of intent to end and the agreement is done.
No. Not legally. I don't take any stock ownership. When I engage with a client, I'm immersed into the company like a partner, but you’re in charge. You make all the decisions. I won’t do your work for you, but with you. I will definitely help with your strategies and I might recommend some good people to outsource some of the accounting, legal and marketing tasks too, all in an effort to help build a team around you.
