Client Stories
The full stories behind the work — in their own words.
Client Story
When my right-hand person left my business I considered folding my company. I was wearing literally every single hat. In five months I went from a team of 1 plus myself to a team of 5. He has created systems and processes that have allowed me to begin working ON the business, not IN the business. My investment in Brandon is without a doubt the best thing I've done for my business.
Client Story
I like to think of Brandon as my business therapist. He pushes me and holds me accountable, all for the sake of being a better leader to my team. At first, I didn't think I needed someone like Brandon, but after a few weeks I realized he is exactly what I needed right at the time I needed him.
Client Story
My biggest clients even got bigger because I have a much better deal with them right now. Decisions are made faster. Just super clear.
Client Story
I immediately felt more empowered to take reins of my business and to make important decisions, big decisions, immediately and without fear of repercussion. I think sometimes as a small business owner or maker, you are so entrenched in all the details of your business that you sort of forget to take a bird's eye view... Working with Brandon has given me a lot of structure that I otherwise probably wouldn't have, even though I consider myself a pretty organized person. It's good to have one central place where you just really have somebody holding you to task.
Client Story
When I started working with Brandon, I didn't know how to run a business. I was disorganized, I couldn't manage people, and I made financial decisions without solid footing. I felt like I was making it up as I went. My income has more than tripled since then, and this year my net doubled. He gave me the confidence to raise my prices, and the numbers have climbed every year since. He also taught me to say what I mean to contractors and clients. Projects move faster, and the frustration on both sides is gone. We set quarterly goals, including expanding into a second state, and he keeps me on the goal in front of me instead of chasing every idea that shows up. The business runs with less wasted time and money now. My contractors work together instead of at odds with each other, and my life is a LOT less stressful. Brandon is also a total pleasure to work with - he's flexible, fun, and easy to talk to, but he doesn't let me off the hook. He knows my weak spots and when I start to drift, he says so. If I miss a week's goals, we look at what got in the way and decide whether to push on or change course. He has years of experience running businesses that I didn't have, and having that beside me filled the gap. If you're starting a small business, you love the work, and you're ready to put in the effort, call Brandon. There's no get-rich-quick version of this. Building something from scratch takes time. He meets you where you are and puts in as much as you do. He treats the job as personal, not as a paycheck. I really can't recommend him highly enough.
