Coaching to multiply profit and get your life back for $1M to $30M business owners
Build stronger managers, remove the owner bottleneck, and run the week on a clear operating cadence with a partner who holds you to it.
Most owners are carrying more than they should
Every decision routes through you, so nothing moves when you step away.
There is never enough time, and the important work keeps waiting.
Your managers are good people, but they are not yet running their own areas.
Revenue is growing, but margin is not following it.
You want to grow, but you are not sure what to change first.
The week is reactive. Priorities get set, then firefighting wins.
None of that means you are doing it wrong. It means you need an operating cadence, and a partner.
What we actually do together
No theory and no binder. Four moves that change how the business runs.
Set the real priorities
We separate what the business needs from what you need, then agree on the few things that actually move the number.
Install a weekly execution cadence
A scorecard, a short list of priorities, and a meeting rhythm that creates accountability without adding bureaucracy.
Clarify roles and decision rights
We define who owns what and who decides what, so the business stops depending on you being in every conversation.
Align the plan
Revenue, profit, capacity, and people, connected into one plan instead of four disconnected assumptions.
Built around your business, not a program off a shelf
We start by getting clear on what you want out of this business, then we treat the company as the vehicle to get you there. Every plan is built to your situation, your margins, your team, and your market.
You bring the goals. I bring 28 years across more than 100 industries, 7 years coaching owners, and the proven tools of The Alternative Board.
28 years inside growth decisions. 7 years in your corner.
I have spent 28 years inside growth decisions: pricing, positioning, lead flow, capacity, and the leadership habits that make plans real. That work put me in the room with companies of every size, across more than 100 industries, where the constraint was almost never the idea. It was execution.
Since 2019, I have coached owners through TAB St. Paul and The Plan North to reduce owner dependency, strengthen management, and build businesses that perform without constant firefighting.

Getting started is simple
Book a call
A short, direct conversation about your business, your numbers, and what is in the way.
We find your lane
Together we confirm fit and pick the right path for exactly where the company is today.
You execute
You move forward with a clear plan, a weekly cadence, and Peter in your corner.
Global experience, delivered personally
The Plan North is powered by The Alternative Board, a proven system that has helped business owners around the world for decades through peer advisory boards, coaching, and practical tools. You get that global experience delivered personally and locally by Peter, right here in Saint Paul.
Owner-led companies ready to execute
This is built for owners and general managers of $1M to $30M companies, typically 5 to 150 employees, in services, trades, professional firms, and light manufacturing. If you want stronger margins, stronger managers, and a business that no longer depends on you being in every decision, you are in the right place.
Good to know before we talk
What happens on the call?
A direct conversation about your business, your numbers, and your constraints. If I can help, I will show you exactly how. If I am not the right fit, I will tell you quickly and point you to a better resource.
Is it a sales pitch?
No. If we are not a fit, I will tell you quickly and point you to a better resource.
What will it cost?
Most clients invest between $500 and $3,500 per month, depending on whether it is one to one coaching, a peer board, or a team program. We will confirm fit and scope on the call.
What size business is this for?
Typically $1M to $30M in annual revenue. If you are below $1M, I will still help if your fundamentals are strong and you are ready to execute.
Do you work remotely or in person?
Both. I work with owners in Saint Paul in person and with owners outside the area by video, whatever fits your schedule.
I tried coaching before and it did not stick.
That usually happens for one of two reasons: the advice was generic, or nothing changed about how the week actually ran. We fix both. The plan is built to your business, and the weekly cadence is what makes it hold.
How fast will I see something change?
The cadence goes in within the first 90 days, and most owners feel the difference in their calendar before they see it in the numbers. Margin and capacity changes follow the decisions we make in that window.
Ready to stop being the bottleneck?
One conversation is enough to know whether this is the right move for your business.
