“Our sales are up 70% and our
profits have increased by a factor of
5 since hiring Extraordinary Advisors.”

AS AN EXECUTIVE BUSINESS COACH, I CAN HELP YOU.
I will collaborate with you to troubleshoot your situation so that you can tackle your obstacles and clear your path to success.
But it’s not easy. If you want to work with me, you must be prepared to face some issues. It might not be pretty. Some of it will be ugly. Some of that ugliness will be about yourself. About your staff. About your processes. About your numbers. You get the idea. Without being willing to lean into the uncomfortable, you won’t be able to implement the changes necessary to move forward.
Once we get to the roots of your situation, I’ll help you resolve problems around people, cash, strategy and execution. And in that order. I always start with “people” because, ultimately, they make all of the decisions around the rest.

ADVISORY SERVICES
Extraordinary Advisors is for the hands-on CEO who’s open to progress and wants to grow more than sales. Our one-on-one collaboration strategy sessions are focused on measurable growth, fresh perspectives, and thoughtful advice. If your staff isn’t happy, neither are your clients. When you trust yourself, so will your team — which leads to…well, happy people all around.
IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT BUSINESS.
There is a huge difference between making a living and making a life. When we work together, we’ll explore EVERYTHING. Your life is important. When you grow yourself, you’ll grow your business. We’re not talking psycho analysis here, but the wisdom of everyday common-sense living. I debunk the myth of “work-life balance” and help you create a life by design — one of work-life integration.
For example, I have a client whose business was successful, barely, with a margin of 5%. He came to me because he needed to make more money so he could afford to have more family time. I asked him what it would look like to have more family time. For him it meant having more long weekends and one afternoon a week off to spend with his grandchildren. When I asked him what “more money” would look like, he said he wanted to double his revenue to double his income. So we looked at the numbers. It turned out that selling twice as much was not going to double his take-home. With a multi-pronged approach, we made his business more efficient— upgraded technology, reduced overhead, changed the pricing model, and narrowed his niche. Within 12 months his sales went up 70% and his margin increased by a factor of five. Plus he committed to retaining my executive coaching services for another year. Here’s what he has to say …
