Why I Came Back
I didn’t plan on coaching again. But the last few months made it clear I have to.

I didn’t think I’d come back to coaching.
I had walked away last year. Not because I lost interest or didn’t see the value. I got sick. It took everything in me just to get through the day. Coaching requires energy, focus, presence, and being able to speak without the fear of having a spell that prevented that. I didn’t have any of that at the time. So I shut it down.
But something kept pulling at me.
Over the past few years, I’ve spoken to over 350 business owners while doing M&A work. These were not new startups or side hustles. These were owners who built companies that actually produced. Some were running $1M companies. Others were doing $20M or more.
They all had one thing in common.
At some point, their business stopped making sense.
Revenue looked solid. The pressure still climbed. They had a team. Results didn’t follow. The schedule stayed packed. Progress barely moved.
And they were tired. Tired of guessing. Tired of fixing the same problem ten different ways. Tired of the silent weight that comes with leading something that looks good on the outside but feels broken on the inside.
They didn’t need motivation. They needed clarity.
Talking to these owners was like holding a mirror up to every stage I’ve ever lived through in business. I knew their pain because I’d sat in the same chair. That’s when I realized something:
Deals can only do so much.
I love M&A work. I love helping someone buy or sell a business. But after the signatures dry and the wire hits, the same questions come back.
What’s next?
What’s the fix when things keep falling apart?
Can I grow this without running myself into the ground?
And that’s where coaching fits.
When I got sick, I thought stepping back from coaching was temporary. It turns out it was necessary. I didn’t just rest. I built. I dove deep into automation, AI, and simplification.
What started as curiosity became a full-time obsession.
I wanted to know: How much can one owner automate? How much stress can you remove if you set things up right? What happens when the right systems and the right mindset line up?
I started testing everything I could.
I created workflows, tested tools, built prompt libraries, created automations for onboarding, content, customer service, lead follow-up, and more. I learned how to connect the dots fast.
I didn’t stop there. I built businesses, supported others, and started writing again. My health came back. My clarity came back. And then I saw it, so did the need for coaching.
Owners don’t need more tools.
Most have too many tools already. Clarity on how the system works changes everything.
Confidence grows when owners start trusting their own calls. And sometimes, they just need someone who can ask the right question at the right time.
That’s what coaching does.
Not therapy. Not management. Not hourly consulting. Just a trusted second brain who helps you cut through the fog and move with confidence again.
That’s why I’m back.
I’m back because too many good owners are buried under their business. And I know how to dig them out.
If you’ve been thinking about getting help, don’t rush it.
Ask yourself a few hard questions first:
Can you afford a coach without risking your business?
Do you actually believe coaching works?
Are you ready to be coached, not just advised?
Are your goals clear or just a bunch of vague hopes?
Do you have a real strategy or just keep reacting?
Are there skill gaps slowing you down?
Do you follow through or just plan a lot?
Are the same problems showing up again and again?
Do you have anyone giving you honest, unfiltered feedback?
Are you tired of guessing?
Is the weight of the business creeping into everything else?
And maybe most important, are you done trying to do it all alone?
If those hit home, we should talk.
Coaching isn’t a magic fix. But it helps you clear the fog, fix what matters, and move fast again.
I’m back. And I’m here to help.
