About Us

Running a small business isn’t just a job—it’s a passion, a dream, and often, a lifelong commitment. But with that commitment comes sleepless nights, overwhelming stress, and the constant worry of whether you’re doing enough to keep your business afloat.

I understand these struggles because I’ve dedicated over 40 years to helping small business owners like you turn those worries into wins.

You may be facing the frustration of inconsistent revenue, the chaos of disorganized operations, the fear of legal risks, or the daunting task of leading your team effectively.

These challenges can make you feel stuck, isolated, and unsure of your next move. But you don’t have to navigate these rough waters alone. As Alignable's Local Business Person of the Year 2024 and with a track record of helping over 150 small businesses find their footing, I’m here to walk with you through these challenges.

I know how much your business means to you—how it’s more than just numbers on a spreadsheet but a reflection of your hard work, your values, and your aspirations.

Here’s how I can help you overcome the obstacles standing in your way:

➡ When your business feels unstable, I’ll help you create a solid foundation so you can operate with confidence and peace of mind.

➡ When legal worries keep you up at night, I’ll guide you through the complexities of compliance, protecting your business and giving you the security to focus on growth.

➡ When you need funding to fuel your dreams, I’ll unlock revenue-generating opportunities that empower you to expand and achieve your vision.

➡ When leadership and management feel overwhelming, I’ll equip you with the tools and strategies to lead with clarity and inspire your team to success.

My approach is more than just strategic—it’s personal. I’m committed to understanding the unique challenges you face and standing by your side at every step of the journey.

Together, we’ll help transform your business from a source of stress into a source of pride, from a struggle into a story of success.

If you’re ready to turn the page and start a new chapter in your business’s story, let’s connect. I’m here to help you not just survive but thrive, with a business that reflects the heart and soul you’ve poured into it.

Find out more on my website: [Skin In The Game Coaches](https://skininthegamecoaches.com/.

Additionally, we offer a free, no-obligation online business analysis, which you can access here: [Free Business Analysis](https://www.bizanalysis.biz/free-business-analysis ).

If you’d like to have a conversation, you can schedule a time via [Cliff’s Calendar](https://www.wiseaboutbusiness.com/mycalendar ).

Our business model is simple: a low monthly retainer plus a percentage of any increase in your gross revenue. This means if we don't help boost your revenue, we only receive the low monthly retainer.

Interested in exploring how we can work together? Reach out through the options above or book a time to discuss your business needs.

How We Got Started

Our Mission is to provide coaching services to help individuals and businesses achieve their goals. Our philosophy is that companies are inherently straightforward but made unnecessarily complicated by jargon and convoluted processes.

We believe anyone can navigate the business world successfully with the proper guidance. We have been helping business owners do that for over 40 years.

Call us at 214-636-3680 for a no-obligation discussion on how we may serve and help you win at what you are passionate about. Or, if you would prefer, apply here and get a free online business analysis: https://form.jotform.com/CliffWoods/coaching-ap...
