Entrepreneurs

Turning visions into reality.

Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. Despite an indomitable spirit and a willingness to put it all on the line every day, countless business owners never see the fruits of their labor reach full potential.

For many, business education has been at the school of trial and error. And those who do have formal training often find the day-to-day reality of business ownership bears little resemblance to their classroom experience.

We help entrepreneurs understand their own real-world experience in a way that allows them to work “on their business,” rather than “in their business,” and realize their own entrepreneurial vision.

Our clients come from healthcare, finance, social services, tech and biotech, fashion, manufacturing, construction, and design. They are leaders in for-profit, not-for-profit, and B-corp organizations. They may be solopreneurs or have thousands of employees. And they may have a single-focus or manage multiple income streams.

Regardless of the specifics, they have one thing in common: They all share the risks, the rewards, and the sleepless nights that accompany the world of entrepreneurship.

All our work in the world of entrepreneurship is grounded in The ThirdWay Model of Entrepreneurship—a powerful framework for understanding and mastering the complexity of business ownership.

Mission, Vision, and Values

The foundation upon which everything is built—the mission (compelling purpose), the vision (direction), and the values (embedded culture) of the organization.

Objectives, Goals, and Strategy

The big picture initiatives and desired future state, strategies for how to get from here to there, and specific, measurable steps, will propel the organization to a successful outcome.

Leadership

The catalyst for creating a dynamic, inspired, innovative, high-performing organization, well-positioned to compete in the ever-changing landscape of 21st century business.

The Five Buckets

All work of the organization fits into one of five content “buckets” that every entrepreneur must understand and manage.

  1. Talent Development. Putting the right people, in the right place, doing the right thing, and coaching, mentoring, and developing them to be the best they can be.
  2. Sales & Marketing. Branding, customer generation and retention, marketing, advertising, and sales.
  3. Research & Development. Development of new products and services, and the continual improvement of existing ones.
  4. Financial & Legal. Using the numbers to understand and manage all aspects of an enterprise.
  5. Operations. The processes, means, and methods that create organizational workflow.
