Growing too fast?

Are you fueling the plane while building it? Is your business reactive instead of proactive?

Not growing fast enough?

Are our team members doers, not solvers? Do problems still route through you? 

What's the cost when everything runs through you

Are you the only one making decisions? If you disappeared for 90 days, would your business fall apart?

The business you built to give you freedom takes more of your time every year.

And when it comes time to step back, hand it off, or sell, the number is smaller than it deserves to be, because a business that needs its founder isn't worth what a business that runs itself is worth.

Case Study | Club16 Trevor Linden Fitness featuring She's FIT!

Before

Seventeen locations, hundreds of employees, and hiring that ran on gut feel. Managers turned over almost as fast as staff. The founders were making people decisions one at a time, and paying for the ones that missed.

What changed

Every leader took the Predictive Index Behavioral Assessment. Every open role got a behavioral target before the first interview. The leadership team learned how each other is wired and put people where they'd do their best work. Then they installed the system the team runs on.

What the Club16 Leadership Team Says.

Carl Ulmer | CEO

"It gives me comfort knowing I have all these tools in place.
I literally sleep better at night."

Radha Johal | COO

"Challenge assumptions. Align on what truly matters.
This level of clarity is invaluable."

Trevor Linden | Co-founder

“You've got to have the right people and the right process. You can have the best people and a poor process, you'll probably fail. And vice versa."

You built the business.
Now build the team and system that grow it.

Founders tell us what they're after: a business that runs without them in the middle of every decision, and is worth more than it is today.

Getting there takes two things, and most companies only have one: the right team in the right seats, and the system that team runs on. A team without a system, or a system with the wrong team in it, both slow growth.

Growth doesn't have to cost you your time or your peace of mind. That's why we build the team and the system together, so neither one depends on you. Two ways to do it are below.

So schedule your Discovery Call now. And in the meantime, take the Business Health Assessment to see where you stand today.

Stop grinding through another year of turnover and chaos. Start building the team and the system that grow the business without you, and make it worth more because of it. The founders we work with stop being the reason the business works, and start being the reason it grows.
