Personal Operations Coaching
I’ve been working with entrepreneurs, startups and business executives for nearly a decade to make sure their businesses work better – for them, their teammates, their customers, and their communities.
The first bottleneck for many founders is what I call Personal Operations. I break personal operations down into three sub-categories: task management, priority management and knowledge management
Working together might be a good fit if you’re looking to…
Improve Task Management
At the most basic level, this means an ability to do what you are going to do, when you say you are going to do it. 90% of people struggle to do this and by just clearing this hurdle, you are probably top 10% in your field.
You may be asking question such as:
- How do I create and maintain habits so I’m making consistent progress?
- How do I establish a morning routine to get my day off to the right start?
- How do I make time for the focused, deep work that I know I should be doing?
Improve Priority Management
If task management is the ability to take incoming data and request and transform them into tasks that get done, then priority management is the ability to not just complete tasks, but to prioritize them based on bigger business objectives.
You may be asking question such as:
- How do I structure my business around my unique ability?
- I feel like I’m not getting the most out of each day.
- I know what I need to be doing, but I’m just not doing it.
Improve Personal Knowledge Management
If priority management is the ability to prioritize tasks into projects based on bigger business objective, then personal knowledge management is the ability to take the learnings and outcomes of those projects and convert them into re-usable intellectual property.
Personal Knowledge Management focuses on processing new information in a way that allows it to be translated to usable knowledge and eventually into career-advancing outputs.
You may be asking question such as:
- I know I read something about that at some point but where is it now?
- I have a lot of ideas of how things work in my head, but I'm having a hard timing training and documenting
- I want to create more content but I'm finding it hard to get started
If we work together, we will co-create solutions that work for you. I’ve got plenty of templates and best practices to share and I’ll be helping customize them to work for your situation and your goals.
Kind words from people I've had the pleasure of working with...
"(Working with Taylor) ultimately led to what I am doing now, which is running a million-dollar startup."

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.
If something here resonated with you and you’d like to see how I can help you solve these challenges, let’s have a no-cost, no-obligation strategy session to see how we might be a fit.
