Work with Stan
Work one-to-one with Stan.
Business coaching, consulting and advisory for owners building the next stage of their company.
One-to-one business work with Stan is $1,500/month. Every two weeks, month to month.
Work on growth, pricing, management, people, operations and the next business move. Each conversation builds on what you and your company have done since the last one.
Meet virtually. You keep authority over the company and your team carries its work. The monthly relationship does not include taking an executive role or staffing a project.
What happens in the relationship
The call is not the product. The return is.
You explain what is happening and what you want to build. I question what does not match, develop possible paths with you, and connect each one to the money, people and work it would need.
You decide what to do. You and your company act. The next conversation starts with the result, the resistance, or the new fact that changed the choice.
An offer question, for example, can become a choice about what customers would keep buying and what your company could keep delivering. See a worked example.

Direct thought and involvement at the level stated in the scope.
Decides, supplies the facts, and carries internal action.
