🚀 A 5-part system for true business freedom
The framework that separates business owners from business operators


I was forced to step away from my business for 12 weeks.
Some of it was personal, some of it was due to the LA Fire.
And even though I run 4 companies:
8 Figure Agency
8 Figure Finance
8 Figure Inc.
8 Figure OS
Each one kept growing while I was gone…
Because none of them rely on me for day-to-day operations.
Here’s the 5-part system that made that possible 👇
1️⃣ Delegate Outcomes, Not Tasks
Tasks keep you stuck as an operator.
Outcomes set you free.
I give leaders full ownership of outcomes, and they make the call on how to get there.
If they need me for approval, that’s a red flag.
2️⃣ 5-Minute Dashboards
Every business has one dashboard with:
Cash in/cash out
Sales pipeline
Client retention/health
Team KPIs
I see everything I need in <5 minutes.

3 Reasons You Need a Fractional COO
1. They’ll set up systems that finally remove you from client servicing so you can focus on scaling.
2. They’ll set up other systems that increase LTV & decrease churn.
3. You’ll finally be able to transition from operator to owner
We’ve helped 800+ agencies make the leap. Start with a free call to discover how.

3️⃣ Replace Yourself in Order
Here’s the order I replaced myself in:
Sales
Delivery
Ops
Finance
Vision
Now, I focus solely on strategy and leadership, not operations.
4️⃣ Hire Operators, Not Employees
I don’t hire “doers.”
I hire owners who operate each business like it’s their company, and think in terms of:
P&L
Client outcomes
Accountability
5️⃣ Build a Self-Improving Operating System
Each company runs on the 8 Figure OS.
This scalable system:
Trains people
Holds them accountable
Improves over time
All without me.
And the best part?
It doesn’t just run the business. It makes the business better.
Bonus: Why I Had No Choice (And Why You Don’t Need One)
When the LA Fire forced us out of our home, I didn’t have time to “check in.”
If my businesses weren’t set up to run without me, they would’ve failed.
Instead:
Portfolio revenue grew
Client results stayed elite
Teams operated at 100%
You don’t need a disaster to build this.
But if you wait too long, one might force you to.
Want help removing yourself from operations and building a system that scales and improves without you?
