Advisors

You have flexibility in how you implement your profitability roadmap:

Self-Implementation (Lite Roadmap): The Lite Profitability Roadmap includes detailed, step-by-step recommendations and an automated action plan that many business owners successfully implement independently. This option is ideal if you prefer to move at your own pace and have the bandwidth to execute the plan yourself.

Advisor-Guided Implementation (Full Roadmap): The Full Profitability Roadmap pairs you with a certified advisor who provides personalized guidance, accountability, and strategic expertise throughout your 90-day journey. This option is ideal if you want expert support, personalized customization, and someone to help you navigate challenges and stay on track.

Hybrid Approach: Some business owners start with the Lite Roadmap and upgrade to advisor support if they encounter challenges or want additional guidance.

The choice depends on your preferences, bandwidth, and desired level of support. Both approaches are designed to deliver measurable profitability improvements within 90 days.

Customer Support

Upgrade When Needed: If you encounter challenges or want personalized guidance, upgrade to advisor support at any time
Maximize Your Investment: Your initial assessment and roadmap remain valid, and you simply add advisor expertise to enhance your implementation

Bi-Weekly Check-Ins (With Advisor):

The 90-Day Profitability Roadmap is strategically structured into three distinct phases designed to build momentum and deliver measurable results:

Phase 1 (Days 1-30): Foundation & Quick Wins – Focus on establishing foundational changes and implementing quick-win initiatives that deliver immediate profit improvements. This phase builds confidence and creates momentum for longer-term changes.
Phase 2 (Days 31-60): Growth & Implementation – Expand on Phase 1 successes by implementing more comprehensive strategies across your profitability pillars. This phase focuses on scaling what’s working and addressing deeper operational improvements.
Phase 3 (Days 61-90): Profit Realization & Sustainability – Optimize and refine all implemented changes, measure results, and establish sustainable systems to maintain and build upon your profitability gains long-term.

Each phase includes specific, measurable tasks with clear success metrics. You’ll receive weekly check-ins and guidance to ensure you’re on track and achieving your profitability goals.

Results vary based on your starting point and implementation commitment, but most business owners experience:

Phase 1 (Days 1-30): Quick wins and foundational improvements typically result in 5-15% profit improvement through operational efficiencies and pricing adjustments.

Phase 2 (Days 31-60): More comprehensive implementations across profitability pillars often generate 15-30% cumulative profit improvement through revenue growth and cost optimization.

Phase 3 (Days 61-90): Sustained implementation and system refinement typically result in 20-40% cumulative profit improvement with sustainable, long-term gains.

Common Results Include:

Increased revenue through pricing optimization and sales improvements
Reduced operational costs through process improvements
Improved profit margins across your service offerings
More predictable, consistent revenue streams
Better team productivity and efficiency
Clearer competitive positioning in your market
Sustainable systems that continue generating profits beyond 90 days

Results depend on factors including your starting profitability level, implementation consistency, and market conditions. We recommend tracking metrics weekly to measure progress and adjust as needed.
