Coach with RobinBusiness coaching
How I coach

From self-employed to business owner.

Self-employed means the business stops when you stop. A business owner has systems and people that keep it running. Coaching is the work of moving from one to the other, at a pace your business can handle.

What working together looks like

A plan built from your numbers, then the follow-through.

  1. Strategy call

    15 minutes to see if we're a fit and what you want help with first.

  2. Where you are, where you're going

    We look at your numbers, your team and your goals, and define what "done" looks like.

  3. Your plan

    A forecast and a path: what to fix first, who to hire and when, and what the business should yield.

  4. Coaching sessions

    Regular calls to keep you moving, solve what comes up, and adjust the plan as you grow.

Who Robin coaches

From solo owners to thriving teams.

Solo owners, very successful teams, the people who recruit for them, leaders who build people, business partners and couples, owners getting ready to retire, and other coaches. Wherever you are, you'll be coached through every system: client attraction, finances, standard operating procedures, hiring if and when you need it, and building your business so you can one day retire from what you've built. All the while, you'll strengthen your mindset, your leadership skills and your relationship building.

Grow

Scale the business

For owners doing it all: your numbers, a budget you actually run on, your finances and cash flow, a client attraction plan and an org chart. Then learn to hire, hand off work and trust the people doing it.

Lead

Build and lead a team

For teams, the leaders who build people, and the recruiters who grow them: hiring, accountability, culture, and a team that produces without you in every deal.

Partner

Build a partnership that lasts

Before you partner: what to decide first. Already partnered: clear roles, who decides what, and how you grow together.

Exit

Plan your exit

What your business, customer list or handoff could be worth, and how to grow toward a sale, a successor or income after you retire.

The partnership checklist

Decide these before you shake hands.

A preview of what partners work through with Robin. Most partnerships that fail skipped at least one.

  • Roles. Who owns sales, operations, money and people.
  • Decisions. What each of you can decide alone, and what needs both.
  • Structure. Who reports to whom as you hire.
  • Growth. How fast, how far, and what you'll reinvest.
  • The exit. What happens if one of you wants out, or wants to retire.
Exit and retirement

What's your business worth to someone else?

Most owners never ask until they're ready to leave. By then it's late to change the answer. A business is worth what it yields, consistently, without you. We build toward that number from the start.
