01Coaching and a weekly operating system for business owners

BUILD A COMPANY THAT RUNS WITHOUT YOU.

Your team owns the numbers, makes the calls, and fixes what's stuck, so you get your time back and the business keeps winning. Built for athletes who now run companies, and any leader who still competes like one.

02The real problem

YOU'RE NOT STUCK BECAUSE
YOU STOPPED WORKING HARD.

You outworked everyone to get here. That's not the problem. The problem is that everything still runs through you. Every decision waits for you. Every problem lands on your desk. The effort that built the company is now the ceiling on it.

  • ✕Decisions sit and wait until you weigh in, even the small ones.
  • ✕You've put off the same hard conversation with someone on your team for months.
  • ✕You work 60 hours or more, and most of it is putting out fires other people could have put out.
  • ✕You can't take a week off without your phone pulling you back in every day.
"If the business can't run without you in the room, you haven't built a business. You've built a trap."

This isn't an effort problem. It's a system problem. And it has a fix.

03What the system does for you

HERE'S WHAT CHANGES.

01

Your time back

You stop being the person every decision waits on. Your calendar opens up for the work only you can do, and for your life outside the office.

02

A team that owns the results

Every job has one owner. Everyone sees the few numbers that matter. Your leaders fix problems in the room instead of bringing them to you.

03

A company that stands on its own

A business that keeps running without you, so you can grow it, step back, hand it to the next leader, or sell it on your terms.

Picture itIt's Tuesday, and you're not in the office. Your team ran the weekly meeting without you. The numbers were already filled in. The one problem that came up got solved by the person who owns it. You found out from a two-line note, and went back to your day.

04How it works

THREE STEPS.
ONE SYSTEM.

  1. Step 1

    See where it depends on you

    Take the Score, a free five-minute quiz on how your leadership is holding up. It shows where the business still runs through you, and where to start.

  2. Step 2

    Build the system

    Give every job one owner. Pick the few numbers that tell you it's working. Write one plan for the year. Hold one meeting a week where your leaders fix what's stuck. Build it yourself, privately with me, or with your whole leadership team.

  3. Step 3

    Run it every week

    Your team runs the system in the FOSS Method App, the online workspace where your people, numbers, plans and meetings live. The weekly rhythm is what keeps the work from sliding back to you.

07The FOSS Method App

THE SYSTEM LIVES
WHERE YOUR TEAM WORKS.

The FOSS Method App is the online workspace where your people, numbers, plans and meetings live. Your team signs in, sees who owns what, updates their numbers, and runs the weekly meeting from one place. It keeps the system in front of everyone, so it doesn't drift back into your head.

  • Who owns what, for every position in the business. We call it the Roster.
  • The handful of numbers your team sees every week. We call it the Scoreboard.
  • Your one-page plan for the year, and the few things you're doing this month.
  • One meeting a week where your leaders fix what's stuck, run from the same screen.

08Before you ask

QUESTIONS,
ANSWERED STRAIGHT.

Do I need to have played a sport?

No. You need the mindset: drive, focus, showing up every day, putting your ego aside and the team first, and doing what it takes.

What does it cost?

The Score is free. The Reps, the self-paced course, is $2,997, one time, and includes the FOSS Method App for your company free for 90 days. With coaching calls from me added, it is $9,997. Private coaching in The Coach's Office is $45,000. The Installation with your leadership team is $77,500 at my office or $100,000 at yours, travel included. Those two are by application. Compare all three →

How much of my time will this take?

The Score takes five minutes. The Reps runs on your schedule. The Coach's Office is 90 days. The Installation is three days with your leadership team, then six months of follow-through. The point is to give you time back, not take more of it.

Who is this not for?

Three leaders, honestly: the one who wants everyone else fixed but won't change anything personally, the one whose company needs cash triage before it needs a system, and the one who plans to hand this off and check in once a month. I've watched each of those stall the work, and no tool fixes them. If that's you right now, take the free Score first and use it to fix the real problem.
