Coaching, Consulting and Advising
I’ve been working with entrepreneurs, investorrs and business executives for nearly a decade to make sure their businesses work better – for them, their teammates, their customers, and their communities.
In that time I’ve helped clients triple their business, publish bestselling books, launch new product lines and improve their decision-making skills.

"The Theory of Constraints states: any system with a goal has one limit and worrying about anything other than that limit is a waste of resources"
...Any type of system, be it your health, a manufacturing line or a business, can be analyzed and optimized by understanding the key components and which of them is the bottleneck.

"I’ve been working with Taylor for the last year and half, much of it during the pandemic, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business.
1) I’ve made a lot more money.
2) Projects actually get completed.
3) Taylor holds me accountable.
4) Taylor helps me get my shit together."

"(Working with Taylor) ultimately led to what I am doing now, which is running a million-dollar startup."
Russ Perry

Russ's company logo is a pickle and he offered to wear it for his testimonial. I had to say yes.
(No reason you can't have fun while you're growing your business.)

"There isn't really anybody who is teaching a comprehensive way of evaluating your time and effectiveness, (or) helping you know how to make decisions."
"Our revenue this year is on pace to triple, which is unbelievable, all really thanks to Taylor and his help.
...he's very results driven."

"It strikes me that he recognises the complexity of the real world... he doesn't have some nonsense program he's trying to push me into.
...I've had a great time working with Taylor and hope to keep working with him for a long time to come."
Dan Andrews
Taylor instantly made himself a part of the central decision making team of the company by putting the company's interests first and because of Taylor's track record, I would very much trust what he would say over what I would surmise.
He gave me a kind of visibility into the brain center of my business that I wouldn't otherwise have unless my hands were on the controls, and when my hands were on the controls an invaluable gut check from somebody who shares my perspective on the business.
The proof is in the pudding. He had his hands on the controls when the company grew 527% in 18 months.
If you're lucky enough to be able to hire him, do so.
The biggest benefit (of working with Taylor) has been getting out of my own head, re-correcting in terms of direction, and getting back on the path.
(Taylor is) very grounding, logical, calm – whenever I freak out about something that doesn’t matter
…And just general strategy in terms of where we are going, is this the right decision made, what is the opportunity cost of such decision, what is the opportunity cost and how do we get there.
