Strategic Growth & Operations Consulting

for Established Service Businesses

I help owner-led service businesses ($1–$10M) increase profitability, improve lead conversion, and simplify operations, without adding complexity, headcount, or hype.

This is strategy-first advisory work designed to reduce owner dependency and build durable operational and AI-supported assets you actually own.

Focused on 90-day advisory cycles for business owners who want clarity, control, and optionality.

Growth Should Feel Lighter - Not Heavier

Most businesses don’t need more ideas, tools, or activity. They need focus, order, and leverage.

When growth starts to feel heavy, it’s rarely a motivation problem. It’s a systems and decision-making problem.

My work is about identifying what’s quietly draining your time, energy, and profit, and replacing it with strategic assets that make growth more controlled, predictable, and sustainable.

When Growth Starts Working Against You

You've built something real. Revenue is coming in. The business functions.

Yet, growth now feels harder than it should. Many owners I work with experience

some version of the following:

  • Lead flow exists, but conversion is inconsistent

  • Systems feel duct-taped, unfinished, or overly manual

  • Decisions pile up and too much still runs through the owner

  • Progress continues, but at the cost of focus, margin, and peace of mind

This tension is a signal, not a failure.

It means the business has outgrown its current way of operating.

What You’ll Do Before the Call

Here you tell them what your part of the job is before hopping on the call (eg. looking at their website, analyzing their brand, checking their social media engagement, …)

What Happens During the Call

What’s going to happen during the call? What are the benefits your future clients will get?

What Changes After the Call

Tell them what they will get away with or what will happen after the call. Ideally you want to have a clear tangible result after having the call

What Growth Can Look Like Instead

Growth doesn't have to mean more pressure or more complexity.

It can look like clearer priorities and fewer decisions. Systems that scale with the business instead of breaking under pressure. Improved conversion without constantly changing new leads. A team that operates with more ownership and less oversight.

Most importantly, it creates optionality. The ability to choose what's next, rather than being forced into it.

Focused Strategy. Measurable Progress. Real Ownership.

I work with established service-based businesses through focused 90-day LEAP Cycles, designed to address one high-impact constraint at a time.

Each LEAP Cycle follows a clear strategic rythm:

  • Limit the Focus
    Identify the single constraint creating the most friction or drag

  • Establish the Plan
    Define a practical, prioritized strategy grounded in reality

  • Build Strategic Assets
    Strengthen systems, decision frameworks, and AI-supported process you own

  • Monitor Progress
    Track results deliberately and recalibrate with clarity, not urgency

This approach improves profitability and performance without increasing marketing spend, headcount, or operational complexity.

This Is Not Done-For-You Consulting

My role is not to run your business for you or layer on tools and tactics.

Instead, I work as a strategic advisor, helping owners think more clearly, operate more deliberately, and build assets that continue working long after the engagement ends.

This work is different by design:

  • I am not a fractional operator or implementation agency

  • We focus on one priority at a time, not scattered initiatives

  • Systems and AI are treated as long-term business assets, not trends

  • Clients build capability and control, not dependency

The result is progress that sticks because it's built into how the business actually operates.

Built for Owners Who Value Precision and Practicality

Before consulting, I spent over two decades working alongside CEOs in high-stakes environments where clarity, follow-through, and disciplined decision-making were non-negotiable.

That experience shaped how I work today. Strategy comes before action. Simplicity is preferred over complexity. Decisions are made with intention, not pressure.

I bring that same operational discipline to established service businesses, helping owners shift from reactive growth to controlled, strategic expansion.

If You've Tried Consulting Before

Skepticism is reasonable. Many consulting engagements fail because they introduce more activity without creating lasting structure.

In reality, most established businesses already sit on a goldmine of untapped value. Existing demand, systems, relationships, and insight that simply haven’t been aligned or leveraged deliberately.
The challenge isn’t creating something new. It’s optimizing what already exists so it supports the next stage of growth.

This work is different because:

  • We don't rebuild what already works

  • We don't chase AI hype or trends

  • We don't add unnecessary layers

  • We optimize what's already there

CEO & Founder

Magda worked on a project to streamline our recruitment process and create the standard operating procedures for our internal use. She was enthusiastic from the start and quickly gained an understanding of my company, our operational needs, and the issues we wanted to address.
Her strategic thinking was instrumental in streamlining our recruitment process, and the insightful questions she asked throughout our collaboration were key to identifying inefficiencies and developing effective solutions. Magda's attention to detail and efficiency mindset are strong assets in her work. She is also very patient and committed to providing an excellent outcome.
I am very happy with the final product and strongly recommend Magda's services.

Start With a Strategic Fit Call

This is not a sales call.

It's a focused conversation to:

Identify where the business is most constrained

Determine whether a LEAP cycle is the right approach

Confirm mutual fit before moving forward

If we are not a fit, you'll still leave with clarity.

Make more money with less stress, by fixing the systems, not adding more work.
