Capture where your business stands.
Map the strategy and operations to move it forward.

Operational Clarity is a Done With You program that helps founders step back, see the full picture, and make confident moves toward their next stage of growth.
 

Together, we’ll map how your business actually works (the people, priorities, and plans) so strategy and operations move in sync.
 

It’s helped dozens of founders and teams turn scattered effort into steady, sustainable progress.

Does this sound like you? 

1

You’ve built something great, but your next move isn’t clear. You need strategy and structure to grow with direction

2

You’re the brain of the business. The team’s capable, but strategy, priorities, and ownership still live mostly in your head.

3

You’ve mastered getting things done, but not getting ahead. You want to shift from managing tasks to shaping strategy.

Your intentions aren't the problem. 

You're just in 
Operational Misalignment

Operational Misalignment

When your strategy and operations stop speaking the same language.
 

Your intentions aren’t the problem. Your execution is out of sync.

When daily actions drift from strategic vision, energy gets wasted, priorities blur, and growth feels harder than it should.

 

Leah Faust, Founder @ LFNCO

“The clarity I gained around my agency’s operations created the space for business velocity”

Most think this means they need new software.
So they hunt for the next software du jour.

Is software your solution—or just another bandage?

​

Tools can’t fix what isn’t defined. When clarity comes first, strategy and operations finally click.

Teams move faster, decisions get easier, and your systems start supporting progress instead of blocking it.

There are 3 reasons why
Operational Misalignment happens

  1. You can’t see the whole picture.
    You’re too close to the work to objectively assess how your business actually runs.

  2. Strategy stays in your head.
    The big ideas exist, but they haven’t been translated into clear actions, roles, or priorities.

  3. You’re working without a map.
    You’re reacting day to day, unsure which levers to pull or what will move the business forward.

Imagine you've stopped buying new tools.

You took inventory, evaluated usage, and shifted from firefighting to fireproofing by focusing on your operational foundation. 

Now, you're focused on who, how, and where.

Your team's insights revealed true challenges, creating clarity that improved processes, communication, and team satisfaction. Customers will feel this transformation too.

Your organization avoided radical approaches.

  • Escaped the bloated tech stack trap

  • Moved beyond micromanagement

  • Left behind "we've always done it this way" mentality

The result? Operational Clarity.

Your business now moves with purpose and coordination — shifting from reactive to strategic. You’ve built clarity around your language, offers, and roles, and created accessible systems so everyone stays aligned and confident.

When you get clear, you...
