Greg Kirk’s Story

When I first hired a business consultant to help scale our organization, he asked me a few questions that changed everything: What’s your vision, mission, and culture? Confidently, I recited them from our handbook. But then he asked, Does your team truly live by these values? That was my “aha” moment. I realized that real leadership isn’t just about having values on paper—it’s about bringing them to life every day.

Now, we help other businesses focus on building a company culture that unites their team under a clear vision and mission. It’s this internal alignment that drives each businesses success and creates a brand identity that resonates from the inside out.

Certified Business Consultants Can Help Clients to:

Hope

Consultants provide hope to business leaders feeling trapped in the daily tasks which prevents the necessary leadership needed to drive a team and organization forward.

Active Listeners

Consultants act as sounding boards for owners or CEO’s to bounce ideas or thoughts across. 

Respectfully Challenges

Effective consultants challenge business leaders by telling them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Many times, teams of small businesses won’t challenge their “boss” based on fear and awkwardness. A small business consultant is the solution to effectively break through complex challenges and elevate a business to new heights. 

Work/Life Balance

Small business consultants help business leaders achieve realistic and sustainable balances between their professional and personal life with expert strategies. 

Smarter Work Approach

Adopt a mindset that focuses on working smarter, not harder, to boost productivity.

Greater Financial Freedom

Begin making your money work for you by leveraging the business.

7 out of every 10 new businesses will only survive 2 years.
Half will likely survive for only 5 years.*

Client Success Stories

As a solopreneur, I have to run my business without the benefit of a team to consult. Working with Greg Kirk has been a game-changer. Greg is an exceptional business consultant whose open-heartedness and open-mindedness is accompanied by his remarkable skill in deep listening. He thoughtfully absorbed everything I shared about my offerings, business goals, and personal aspirations, creating a safe space for reflection and growth.

Through targeted, insightful questions and analyses, Greg encouraged me to expand my self-perception, release self-judgment, and embrace new possibilities. What sets him apart is his ability to take the information he gathers, consolidate it, and synthesize it into clear, actionable steps that feel aligned and achievable. His guidance has been transformative, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a strategic and empathetic approach to elevating their business.

Monica Levin

Greg has been nothing short of impressive since we met last week. He wasted no time diving into networking events, offering strategic feedback, and building connections. In fact, he even took the time to provide me with some insightful advice for a nonprofit event I’m running each month.

If you’re looking for a business consultant who thinks in systems, strategy, and organization—someone who can help businesses work smarter, not harder—definitely reach out to Greg. His ability to guide others toward greater success is invaluable. If you’re looking for a partner to help you elevate your business, I highly recommend Greg.
