I do one thing.
Most small businesses run on the owner's memory. You know which numbers matter, what comes next, and who to call when something breaks. That works right up until it's the thing holding you back.
I do one thing: I help you get it out of your head and onto paper.
This is probably you if:
You know the business is doing fine, but you couldn't name the three numbers that prove it
You've hired someone and then explained the same thing four times, because it wasn't written down anywhere
Taking a week off means coming back to a mess, so you don't really take one
There's a decision you keep remaking, because nobody recorded how you made it last time
You have a list of things you'd fix if you had a quiet week, and you have not had a quiet week
What that's looked like:
For a fitness studio owner, it was a hiring application and a trainer on-boarding process, so she stopped teaching every new hire from scratch.
For an owner taking over a CPG brand, it was vendor setup and production logistics written down well enough to run without the person who built them.
Different businesses need different things. The four weeks are the same. What comes out the other end is always something written that you can hand to somebody else.
The Focus Project
What is it?
Four weeks. I find what's costing you the most, then turn how you run your business into something written down and repeatable.
Who is this for?
Owners of small, owner-operated businesses, roughly 2 to 20 people, where you're still the system. Especially membership-based service businesses (studios, gyms, salons) and CPG brands. I built and sold one.
What you get:
A written operating plan built for your business, not a template:
The numbers to watch, and how often to look at them
The processes that need to exist, written so someone else can run them
What to do first, and what can wait
How it Works:
Week 1 - Assessment: Mostly I listen, and we look at how the business actually runs. Optional: I check that you show up correctly on Google, Apple Maps, Yelp, and Bing, where AI search tools look. No extra cost.
Week 2 - Strategy: Working sessions. We pick what to fix first and the numbers that will prove it.
Week 3 - Your Plan: You get the written operating plan, plus one round of revisions.
Day 30 - Review: We check what stuck and walk through your ROI Scorecard: the time and money your plan is worth, using your numbers.
Investment:
$2,500, fixed. Four weeks.
Included: Up to six meetings over four weeks (Assessment, Strategy sessions, Your Plan handoff, and the Day 30 Review), your written operating plan with one round of revisions, your ROI Scorecard, and an optional AI visibility check.
Not included: I don't execute the plan for you. Hiring, posting, running your tools, and any software costs stay with you. Work beyond the scope becomes its own project.
How the work gets done: I use AI the same way I'd use a good assistant: drafting, organizing, saving me time. It doesn't decide what matters. I do.
Start with a free hour. One conversation about your business. You'll leave knowing the three things costing you the most time, and get them in writing within two business days, whether or not we work together.
After the project: Golden Crane On Call
A plan only works if someone keeps you honest about it. On Call is a quarterly check-in for owners who've finished a Focus Project. We look at what moved, what didn't, and what's changed since. $600 per quarter, cancel anytime. Available to Focus Project clients only. Every Focus Project includes a free 90-day check-in, so you can decide then.
