Business Growth Coaching For Owners Who've Outgrown Guesswork

From GuessingTo In Control.

A complete growth system for service-based business owners — strategy, funding, marketing, and AI — built and taught by a 20+ year business growth veteran, not a theory-only coach.

No application. No gatekeeping. Just a real conversation about your business.

The Whole Board

Growth isn't one thing. It's four.

Most coaches specialize in one lane. You need someone who can see the whole board.

01

Strategy & Growth Planning

Where you're going and how you get there: growth planning, offers, pricing, and a go-to-market (GTM) plan built for your market.

02

Capital & Funding

Understand your options — loans, grants, and equity raises — and get prepared to pursue the right one. Guidance, not guarantees.

03

Marketing & Advertising

Positioning, channels, and campaigns that bring in the right customers — measured, so you know what's working and what to cut.

04

AI Enablement

Practical AI tools and workflows that save hours every week — set up for how your business actually runs, and taught so your team can use them.

Sound Familiar?

YOU'VE TRIED FIGURING IT OUT ALONE. IT'S NOT WORKING.

Inconsistent Revenue

Great months followed by scary ones. You can't plan, hire, or invest with confidence when cash flow is a guessing game.

No Real Growth Strategy

You're busy, but there's no written plan connecting what you do this week to where the business should be next year.

Wasted Money on Tactics

Ads, agencies, software, a new website — spent without a strategy behind it, and no clear idea what actually paid off.

Doing Everything Yourself

You're the owner, the operator, the marketer, and the IT department. Growth stalls because you're the bottleneck.

Is This You?

Built for a specific owner.

Service businesses doing roughly $10K–$100K/month, in small to mid-size towns and rural markets as well as metros.

A great fit if you

  • Run a service business doing $10K–$100K/month
  • Serve a small town, rural, or mid-size market
  • Want a real growth plan, not another one-off tactic
  • Are open to new tools, including AI
  • Want to build systems you understand and can run
  • Would rather get hands-on help when it counts

Probably not a fit if you

  • Are pre-revenue or still validating the idea
  • Want a guaranteed result or overnight growth
  • Aren't willing to put in time each week
  • Need only one tactic executed with no strategy behind it
  • Aren't ready to change how things are done

FAQ

Straight answers.

What if I don't have a big budget?

Start with the free Diagnostic. Pricing above is a sample — the final price for each tier is set after the discovery call based on how much help you actually need.

Can I just do the free Diagnostic?

Yes. It's a no-obligation conversation across all four pillars. Many owners leave with clear next steps whether or not they continue.

Do you execute, or just advise?

Coaching and Strategy are advisory — you get the plan and the guidance to run it. If you want done-for-you help, the optional fractional CMO service is available at $3,500/mo, with ad, SEO, and web costs separate.

Can I cancel coaching?

Coaching has a 3-month minimum, then continues month-to-month. Cancel any time after the first three months.

How does the group format work?

You join a weekly group Zoom with other service business owners, plus two monthly 1:1 sessions with Shawn for your specific business.

Let's get you in control.

One conversation. All four pillars. No application required.
