Three ways to work together
Every service starts the same way: you tell me what's really going on, I look at it from the outside, and you get a plain plan you can act on. You stay in charge of every decision.
Business decisions and operations
For a decision you keep going back and forth on, or an operation that feels loose. This is the Outside View session: the same Dossier Method from the BBG Owner's Manual, done with you from the outside.
- A guided intake form, so nothing important gets missed
- A written proposal: the real question, the facts versus the assumptions, the what-ifs, the case against my own advice, and what I would do in the first 30, 60 and 90 days
- A short recorded video of me walking you through it
- A 45-minute video call to go over it together
Planned founding rate: $250 for the first clients from the interest list.
Good for: a hire, a lease or big purchase, pricing, cash that feels tight, growth that's breaking things, a pivot, a team or management problem.
Workplace communication
For the conversation that has to go right: giving hard feedback, pushing back on a decision from above, resetting expectations with a client, or a team that keeps talking past each other. Built on the ideas in Clear at Work.
- We map the situation: who needs to hear what, and what they care about
- You get a plan for the conversation, including the opening line, the key points and how to handle pushback
- Optional practice run on a call before the real thing
Good for: owners, managers, supervisors and employees handling a high-stakes message.
Ongoing monthly support
For owners who want a steady outside view instead of a one-time session. A monthly check-in on your numbers, priorities and people, and a sounding board between check-ins for the calls that come up.
- A monthly review call with a written summary and next steps
- A one-page plan and a simple scorecard you track together with me
- Questions by email between calls
Pricing will depend on what you need. Tell me on the interest list what you'd expect to invest, and it helps me price it fairly.
A good fit, and not a fit
| A good fit | Not a fit |
|---|---|
| A tough decision you keep going back and forth on | Legal advice, contracts or disputes (talk to a lawyer) |
| Prices, a client problem or cash that feels tight | Tax advice or tax filing (talk to a tax professional) |
| A team, hiring or management problem | Investment, lending or other licensed financial advice |
| A hard conversation or a message that has to land | Therapy, counseling or HR investigations |
| Loose operations, a pivot or a big spend | An emergency that needs an answer today |
Services offer general business and communication guidance, not legal, tax, financial or other licensed professional advice. When something needs a licensed professional, I'll tell you and point you to one.
