Getting 5+ year founders out of the grind so they can own their time again

Adam Tanaka headshot

I'm a founder and growth partner specializing in business strategy and systems consulting.

I help founders of 5+ years get out of the grind and own their time.

→ I started my first company in 2008.
→ With an overdrawn bank account, in the middle of a recession.
→ Grew it to 7 figures without borrowing money or bringing on business partners.

That's the nice sounding side of it. The vulnerable part is that in year 6, I hit lower than rock bottom and was not only ready to end my business, but also my life.

If there's anything I've learned over the last 16+ years as a founder and serial entrepreneur, it was these 3 things:
1. My time was the most valuable piece to this whole puzzle
2. In order to be an effective leader, I needed to know exactly how to implement a support system for my vision.
3. If you want to build something that lasts, you can't do it alone.

Sounds obvious, right?! For most 5+ year founders, they keep mistaking being busy as being productive.

It’s not too late to make a change, but as my dear friend Antonio Neves says - “The longer you wait, the harder it gets.”

Key Areas of Focus (not limited to):
• Systems architecture & integration
• Financial & growth systems
• Strategic planning & execution
