LOVE YOURCOMPANYAGAIN
Limited to 10 spots for personal attention and mentorship.
Get your company back. Then get your time back.
TOO MUCHPAIN
You probably started your business to gain an element of freedom. And now, whether it's one year later or ten, you're looking around and realizing it can't run without you. Some days you ask for the matches so you can light it on fire. The journey turned from exciting to painful. I get it as that was me in 2023 when I tried to sell my company. Let's just say it didn't work out. This challenge is exactly what I needed back then. It didn't exist, so we built it.
of organizations fail to execute their strategy.
Robert Kaplan, Harvard Business School, The Balanced Scorecard
You already know what's wrong with your business and you've probably known for a while. Knowing was never the problem.
HOP ONOFFENSE
Five weeks from the start of this challenge, you'll understand what your company is worth, what's impacting that value, and specifically what you can do to improve it. Which matters, because your company is probably the most valuable asset you own. Think about what a 10 or 20% bump in its value is worth in actual dollars. Now compare that number to five weeks and $1497. More importantly, you'll identify the one thing that was keeping you from loving your company. Call it domino one. By the time we're done it's already tipped over. So you're not starting from zero. You've already taken the actions and kickstarted the process, which means the belief cycle is already working for you. From there the job is simple: Keep pushing the domino. Every week after this one takes less of you, not more.
WHAT YOU'LLLEARN
Frameworks you'll master: Some created. Some borrowed. All of them proven.
Names the single thing quietly killing your value and your sanity. We say it out loud in Week 1, in front of people.
Data. Decision. Delegation. Development. Every gap you have is one of these four. Most owners are guessing at all four at once.
Turns a gap into a play you'll actually run. With an owner, a timeline, and a number attached.
Three key actions. Two roadblocks named in advance. One success metric. That's it.
30% of your playbook works as planned. 30% needs adjusting. 30% gets abandoned. 10% surprises you. Knowing that in advance is why you won't quit in week four.
The one element that disproportionately amplifies everything else. Find it and the other problems get smaller on their own.
Human, Structural, Customer, Social. Roughly 80% of your company's value lives here, and almost none of it shows up on your P&L. Exit Planning Institute

WHAT'SINCLUDED
Everything here is built for one outcome: a business that needs less of you every day.
- Five live 90-minute working sessions. Small group. Real work, not lectures.
- A private one-on-one with KO, plus 90 days of Slack and phone access after the challenge ends.
- An accountability partner, matched to you, who won't let you disappear in week three.
- A five-week re-score on your own numbers, so the movement is measured, not claimed.
- The full playbook, the plays, and the frameworks. Yours to keep and run again.
THEN YOU GETTO CHOOSE.
Do this work and you end up in one of two places.
1. Either you love the company again, because it finally runs without you standing in the middle of it. Or you list it, and you sell it, because a business that runs without you is the only kind anyone wants to buy. Either way, you get your evenings back. That part isn't optional.
Exit Planning Institute, 2023 Readiness Survey
Those aren't bad businesses. Those are businesses nobody built a process for. Same five weeks of work either way. The only difference is what you decide to do with what you built.
IF YOU'RE NOT HAPPY,YOU GET YOURMONEY BACK.
Not a form. Not a process. Not a conversation about whether you did the homework.
Show up, and if at any point during the five weeks you decide this isn't worth it, tell me and I'll refund you. That's the whole policy.
I'm not worried about it.
Limited to 10 spots, because I'm in the room.
Starts Wednesday, August 13.
Five live sessions, a private one-on-one, and 90 days of my phone.
LOVE YOURCOMPANY AGAIN
Either way it starts with the same work. Find the one thing that's broken and fix that first.
