I Was Building A Business I Didn’t Even Want
I said yes to every client who came my way—until I realized I was doing it at the expense of my business.
When I first went fractional, I said yes to everything.
Project work.
Coaching sessions.
Interim roles.
Strategy sprints.
Retainers that looked a whole lot like full-time jobs.
If I could serve with excellence—I took the work.
Because that’s something I believe deeply:
If you can deliver real value, with excellence, you’re allowed to say yes.
And I did serve my clients well.
Every project got my best thinking.
Every engagement delivered results.
But here’s what I didn’t see at the time:
I was recreating the wheel every single time.
No structure.
No signature process.
No scalable system behind what I offered.
It wasn’t just exhausting—it was unsustainable.
My offers were all over the place.
My messaging was muddy.
My brand wasn’t built around a clear value proposition—it was built around my availability.
And then one day, I realized:
I had built a business I didn’t actually want.
Not because I lacked effort.
Not because I wasn’t good at what I did.
But because I wasn’t leveraging the F-Factorial.
I was stuck in one-off delivery mode—brilliant at execution, but always starting from zero.
That’s when I decided to shift.
I got clear on my niche.
I packaged my expertise into a premium offer.
I built a marketing and lead gen system around it.
And I stopped treating my business like a series of gigs—and started treating it like an asset.
That shift is what changed everything.
And it’s exactly what I share in The Fractional Formula.
It’s not theory.
It’s the exact framework I built—and then used to help 400+ fractional executives grow sustainable, profitable businesses with structure.
