Here’s what you already know: the difference between successful entrepreneurs and organizations and those that struggle is that the successful ones focus on getting the right things done. There are plenty of people with great ideas but a much smaller percentage of people who actually convert those ideas into effective actions.

Converting principles and vision into effective action precisely what we help individuals, small companies, and organizations do.

We have a special way of breaking down business activities into coherent, understandable pieces and putting them together in a way that makes sense. You probably have a lot of the right ingredients assembled, but business success is all about putting the pieces together in the right way for you. Remember, Apple and Microsoft are in the same industry, but how they’ve put their pieces together has resulted into two companies that look radically different.

As much as we like ideas, our focus is on execution, for that’s what makes the difference. All the plans, opportunities, capital, and ideas don’t matter much if there’s little or no execution.

How we work with our clients depends on their size and scope:

For Individuals

You’re either in a solo business or perhaps you have an assistant. You’re on a growth streak and are worried where it’ll end or have made it to the point where you have to radically change the way your business operates because it’s growth is constricted or not profitable enough.

For Small Companies

It all started with you, but now you’ve got some teammates, overheads, and a company that needs to work differently than it did in the beginning. You know that, but it’s hard to figure out what changes to make. We jump in and help you build the viable, sustainable company that you want to be in.

Testimonials

You’d expect me to say we deliver. I’d much rather you hear from my thriving, satisfied, and awesome clients and colleagues about the matter:

spacer Jonathan Fields from CareerRenegade.com says:

I’m the classic example of a hyper-creative, idea-bomber entrepreneur. The challenge has always been to figure out what’s worth building out, what should be left alone and how to focus on what really matters.

Figuring that out just happens to be Charlie’s personal killer app. He’s that rare bird who has the ability to honor the maniacal nature of the creative professional and the need for freedom, while also creating a framework and approach that lets you actually get stuff done.

If you’ve got ideas that aren’t making it from your head into the world, you need him…now.

spacer Chrissy Scivicque from EatYourCareer.com says:

Charlie has a rare ability to cut through clutter and simplify business processes. I worked with him when I was feeling overwhelmed and confused, unsure of the next steps I needed to take to reach my business goals.

He listened and provided down-to-earth insight from the perspective of an invested business partner. He cares about his clients and it shows. When he makes a recommendation, it’s thoughtful and based on concrete experience, not just theory.

Almost every day, I recall some piece of advice he shared and it guides me through my business challenges. The wealth of resources and knowledge I received from working with Charlie made the financial investment feel insignificant in comparison.

spacer Jennifer Louden from JenniferLouden.com says:

Charlie has the brains and the heart to help you map your business and take it to the next level with total integrity. I trust him. He’s the real deal.

spacer Jonathan Mead from IlluminatedMind.net says:

Charlie will take the roof off of whatever you thought was possible and show you a whole new sky of possibility. He’s helped me see the blockages in my business, free them up and get the energy flowing in ways that I didn’t know were possible. I’m getting more clients and repeat customers thanks to Charlie.

But probably the greatest benefit I’ve gotten through working with him is overcoming my belief that systems = evilness. I now realize that systems give me power in my business and it’s freed me up to do more of the stuff that matters, and do more of what I shine at. Which of course means more money, freedom, and enjoyment.

Charlie is really one of a kind, and there’s no one else I’d rather have on my team.

spacer Sinclair from SelfActivator.com says:

Charlie is the missing counterpoint to all of the push-and-shove business growth advice that crowds the marketplace. His work does more than provide a balance to the leap-ahead strategies and tactics, it illuminates their proper place in a holistic business, so that they’re finally actionable.

Charlie has his ear to the ground. He knows the challenges that entrepreneurs are experiencing even before they do, and he has the rare breadth of strength and skill sets to tackle them head on, at every level. He knows just when to provide a resource for the immediate situation, or zoom out to think long term. I’ve seen it happen again and again – when entrepreneurs spend time with Charlie, they can’t help but be strengthened, educated, energized, and equipped for the journey ahead.
