Helping you grow your business, and still make it home for dinner. │ Business Coach │ Business Broker │ Former soccer coach turned business coach

I help business owners who are stuck and struggling to make the right move.

Most of my clients come to me because:

- They feel trapped, they know they need changes, but don't know where to start
- Nothing happens in the business without their input
- They lack systems, accountability, & predictability

I coach them to build a business that delivers:

- More freedom & flexibility for the Owner
- Repeatable systems that drive predictable results
- Results that help increase the value of the business, so it's ready to sell when you are

We use a tailored approach to:

- Build repeatable systems so the business works for the Owner (not the other way around)
- Empower their teams, drive accountability, systematize operations, and reduce stress
- Build a business that is “exit ready,” whether that’s next year or years down the road

Here’s a few of the outcomes clients have experienced:

- Packaging company that went from $1.5M per year to $1M per month
- Manufacturing Co. owners who went from overworked to never missing an appointment or a game
- Insurance agent who saw 20% YoY growth in his book of business & increased commissions

Why I do this:

- I’ve spent more than half my life as a coach. First on the soccer field, now supporting business owners
- 9+ years as a business coach, and 3+ years as a business broker supporting owners
- I value time with my wife and two kids outside Denver, Colorado, and I want my clients to enjoy the same freedom

If you’re ready to build a business that is easier to run, more fun to own, and ready to sell when you are...

Being a dad is hands-down the hardest job I’ve ever had. 

There’s no manual,
there’s plenty of pressure,
and let’s be honest,
it’s not a job with a big paycheck.

But it’s worth every bit of stress.

As I grew my business, I knew one thing: 
I didn’t want to miss the important moments. 

That meant being able to step away for a Friday at the zoo, 
or take my kids out for doughnuts and some playground time,
without having to ask for permission.

Business ownership lets me be present for all the big and small things. 

That flexibility is priceless.

Being a parent is tough - it’s a full-time gig on its own. 

Trying to balance that with building a business isn’t easy. 
(Moms, hats off to you. You have it even harder.)

But putting family first has always been my goal, and I'd never trade that for anything.

The business pays the bills, but if it means missing out on time with my kids, it’s not worth it. 

Family first, always.

Business should support the life you want to live.

Not the other way around. 


Is your business set up to give you the freedom to be there for your family? 
Or does it feel like the business runs you?

I help Small Business Owners go from Stuck, to Streamlined, to Sold. | Soccer Coach turned Business Coach & Broker

Small business owners want to change, want to grow, and want to get better. 

But life in the business gets in the way.

Finding the time and resources to invest in your own growth is tough when you’re busy just keeping things running.

In my experience, working with a coach is hard work. 

At first, it can feel like there’s even more on your plate. 

But the long-term goal is building a business that truly supports the life you want.

Not just one you feel stuck maintaining.

There will always be reasons to wait. 
Big projects, 
employee issues, 
budget worries.

Those things never stop. 

But the longer you wait to get started, the smaller your window of opportunity becomes.

You can choose to stay stuck in the same grind and keep getting the same results. 

Or start making real changes today.

Want to talk about what that could look like in your business? 

Drop a comment or shoot a message, and let’s have a conversation about the changes that matter most for you.

A “good” business isn’t just profitable, it’s also:

Transferable
Predictable
Reliable
Scalable 

OK Matt, sounds good. What does any of that mean?


Transferable: not overly dependent on the owner
• Work gets done without your direct input

Predictable: steady cash flow & repeatable systems
• You know what to expect on a day-to-day basis

Reliable: strong team, contracts, and relationships
• The foundation of the business is rock solid

Scalable: room to grow without adding chaos
• Your systems work and resources are available

And the best part?

A business with all of these traits is fun to own, easy to run, and ready to sell when you are.

Working on your business today makes it more valuable tomorrow.

And a valuable business will support your life, today, tomorrow, and years from now.

Transferable, Predictable, Reliable, Scalable - just a few of the key value drivers that I help business owners with every day.

Quick Wins Guide

I've spent nearly a decade looking "under the hood" on hundreds of businesses.
10,000+ hours, easily.

I'll give you 3 of my biggest lessons in under 3 minutes...

𝟭) 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿

Your business is going to reflect back to you all the decisions you make.

How you think about your business matters.

Stay stuck in the small stuff day-to-day, and your business is going to be a grind.

Delegate, empower, and lead your people, and your business will be a machine.

Whatever you put into the business will be reflected back to you.

𝟮) 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿

Knowing your numbers unlocks so many opportunities inside your business.

You can't grow your business just by guessing.

Having a relationship with your financial reports, and knowing your most important measures puts you in control.

You'll feel calmer, understand inputs and outputs, and can make better decisions.

It's a non-negotiable if you want your business to reach that next level.

𝟯) 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 + 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 = 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀

You need predictable, repeatable systems to grow your business.

You can't be overly reliant on any one person (especially yourself) if you want to grow in the long-term.

It's a balance - you want good people, you want to keep them around - but you can't count on them staying forever.

So you build great systems for everyone to use, and make sure they get the training they need.

That's how you get predictable, repeatable results - and that's how the business succeeds.


So there you have it, the 3 of my biggest lessons from my work with 100+ clients...

I've spent nearly a decade studying businesses and systems, and I'm lucky to have worked with so many great owners over the years.

Owners who are doing their best (but maybe feeling stuck), 

Motivated to succeed (but not wanting to just chase shiny objects), 

And trying to find the best path forward (but maybe unclear on where to start).

This is the work I love to do, and I love working with Owners who want to get better.

If this sounds like you, let's talk!

If you're an owner who works long hours.

Solving every single problem.

For not enough profit or pay.

I have a harsh truth to share:

N͟o͟ ͟o͟n͟e͟ ͟i͟s͟ ͟c͟o͟m͟i͟n͟g͟ ͟t͟o͟ ͟r͟e͟s͟c͟u͟e͟ ͟y͟o͟u͟.͟

There is no magical unicorn buyer who is going to save you with an 8-figure check.

In my coaching practice, I talk to a lot of people who are tired, worn out, and ground down by their business.

In my brokerage practice, I talk to people waiting for a miracle buyer to swoop in and overpay for an underperforming business.

Both groups think they only way out is through a sale.

But when you dig in, you find they started their business because it was something they were passionate about.

They wanted to work for themselves, they wanted to control their own destiny.

But the reality of small business ownership is that it’s HARD.

There are all kinds of challenges, and over time, some people really do grow to resent, even hate their business.

Do you think a buyer wants to buy into that nightmare?

No chance.

So working to build (or rebuild) your business to support the kind of life you want to live is a good starting point.

Build a business that produces predictable, desirable results.
A business that doesn't rely solely on you.
A business that you actually enjoy owning.
I can almost guarantee there is someone out there who wants to buy it from you.

If you build a business that you enjoy owning, the buyers will come to you.

And the cool thing about improving your business, 
is that, along the way, you might rediscover your passion for it.

Plenty of people work to prepare their business to sell, then decide they’re going to keep it.

Because their stress went down and their profit went up.

Because you found out that owning the business doesn't have to be miserable.

You started your business for good reason.

Don’t let the grind turn it from something you love into something you hate. 

Build a business that supports your life, and see the benefits forever.

Easier to run, easier to own, easier to sell.

They all go hand in hand.

And you can start working toward that goal today.

I'm a business coach, and a business broker.

And I come to this work with a very particular set of skills.

𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵:
I spent the first part of my career in sports.

As a coach on the field, I focused on helping players get better.
- I learned leadership and psychology, to help get results. 

As an Administrator I learned business operations firsthand.
- Running a club with a 7-figure budget, getting 3000+ kids per year on the field.

Then in 2016, my path changed.

Instead of sports, I focused on small businesses.

I learned business coaching in the EMyth system.
- I helped business owners daily, to build systems, and a business that worked.

I worked with Owners from startups to $30M+ in revenue.

Turnarounds, rebuilds, and "don't rock the boat" - I've seen it all.

And I learned more about small business in a few years than most people do in a lifetime.

𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿:
Then in 2020, I met the founders of Main Ascent | Business Brokers & Advisors - and they patiently showed me the ropes of business brokerage.

I learned that my coaching skills and understanding of small business would come in handy.

Because everything we do is focused on helping business owners.

Helping them build better businesses.

Build more predictable, repeatable, scalable systems.

And being able to sell their business, today or one day, and get that final reward for their hard work.

When it comes to building streamlined, sellable businesses, I've got a background tailored for it - I've been a business coach for nearly a decade.

And when it comes to helping owners navigate the ins-and-outs of growing, and exiting, a business - I've done my 10,000 hours there, too.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀:
I can connect the dots between a business that works today, and a business that will be valuable when you're ready to sell, better than most, I think.

And I love the work that I get to do with business owners daily.

Whether that's navigating the day-to-day operations.
Making changes and building new systems.
Preparing to sell today.
Or some day.

I have the experience and the skills to help you.

So if you're ready to take the next step in your business,
Whatever that might be right now,

If you don’t know me yet…

I was born in Ireland 🇮🇪, grew up in Canada 🇨🇦

Somewhere along the way realized I didn’t want a “normal” life.

At 25, I packed my bags, moved to Colombia,

Started building freedom from my laptop.

Since then, I’ve helped so many coaches build 6-figure businesses on LinkedIn.

It’s been a wild ride filled with lessons, risks, and gratitude.

MASc, Biomedical Engineering | Biomechanics | Human Movement & Performance

I'm so excited to announce that last month, I successfully defended my Master of Applied Science thesis at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at UofT! 

My thesis, "Extracting, characterizing and assessing reaching performance in children with CP using data collected from Bootle Blast and a 3D Sensor", was a journey of hard work, creativity, and so many memorable learning moments.

During undergrad, I discovered a love for biomechanics, and wanted to dive deeper into the technical, data driven side of things during my master's. My project involved working with two unique datasets (one collected in-lab, the other in the home), to explore biomechanical metrics related to reach during Bootle Blast gameplay. 

Bootle Blast, developed by Dr. Elaine Biddiss & the PEARL Lab at the Bloorview Research Institute at Holland Bloorview, is an interactive, accessible video game designed to support home-based therapy for children with motor challenges. 

I had the incredible opportunity to analyze and assess gameplay data and provide insights to inform future game iterations. Over the past two years, I've developed strong computational skills in biomechanics, motion capture, and data science using Python and MATLAB, and built confidence in bridging clinical and technical perspectives. 

Big thanks to my wonderful supervisor, Elaine, my insightful committee members, Dr. Jan Andrysek and Dr. Kei Masani and of course the entire PEARL Lab (special shoutout to Ajmal) for their guidance, support and collaboration throughout this journey. 

Outside of my thesis work, I spent my semesters volunteering with UofT Discovery, as a Physics Lead. This was easily one of the most rewarding parts of my master’s, getting to teach high school students about the possibilities of engineering in biomedical contexts was so exciting. Seeing many of them go on to study engineering at UofT has been incredibly fulfilling! 

As I close this chapter, I’m so excited to explore new opportunities where I can apply my background in biomechanics, motion capture, and data science to help drive innovation!

Imagine this scenerio: You have a soccer tournament coming up. 

You decide to train on your own. 

-You run up and down hills.
-Kick the ball into the net.
-Watch a few YouTube drills and hope it helps.

Reasonably, you’d get some benefit.

But when it’s game time,

You’d get crushed by the team that trained with structure, focus, and feedback.

It’s the same in business.

Most coaches are “training” every day byposting content, attempting to take calls, doing out reach. 

But they don’t actually know which skills they’re improving.

And that’s why they stay stuck at <$5k/month.

I say this from experience, 

Building a $30K/month business is simply about developing 4 skills.


1) The skill of creating an offer that attracts buyers.
2) The skill of writing content that converts attention into action.
3) The skill of nurturing leads until they’re ready to buy.
4) The skill of closing high-ticket clients consistently.

Once you build those skills, everything else becomes predictable.

I just filmed a full training teaching HOW to do this in detail. 

The goal of the video was simple. 

Give you the exact tools you need to hit $30k per month and beyond in your coaching business. 

To get access, comment “LinkedIn” below.

For everyone who comments today,

I’ll be giving away an extra bonus of a private coaching call with my clients where I taught them my content frameworks.

The best clients are the ones that find you.

“You can replace your corporate income with 2 sales.”

I said this to an Account Manager on a call last week.

For context:

- He works at a major tech company.
- He makes $120,000 before taxes.
- He likes his job.

But he knows he can do more, for himself and his family.

He wants to start a Career Coaching business helping others break into tech and land top-tier jobs.

I told him that was a fantastic offer.

Then I broke down the math:
2 clients × $5,000 = $10,000 per month.

That’s his entire corporate income replaced.

I told him:

“This won’t happen overnight,  but it can happen within 90 days if you lock in and focus on the right activities.”

I gave him the plan.

And now his new reality has begun.

I’ll say the same to you:

Whether you want to quit your job or start this on the side,

You can turn your expertise into a legitimate coaching business.

- You already have the skills.
 - You just need the system.

There’s never been a better time to start than now.

Every coach making $10K… $50K… even $100K per month is laser-focused on just 4 things.

In this video,

I break down exactly what those 4 things are 

And why mastering them is the difference between staying stuck and getting to $30k fast. 

Watch this.

Most coaches never break past 5K a month because they skip one crucial step

They rely on their content too much.

In this video,

I’ll show you the “correct” way to turn your content views into paying clients.

The reason most coaches stay stuck at $2K a month has nothing to do with their content or audience size.

It comes down to one simple tweak that instantly makes people want to buy from you.

In this video, 

I’ll show you what separates a $2K coach from a $30K coach, and how you can make that shift starting today.

I just published a new YouTube video teaching exactly how to get your coaching business to 30k/month on LinkedIn.

Most people overcomplicate this. 

Instead of teaching general strategies,

I broke it down simply:

  1. 0-10k per month - What to focus on
  2. 0k-20k per month - What to change 
  3. 20k-30k per month - How to scale efficiently 

It’s only 12 minutes.

Pure tactics. 

If you want to get your coaching business to the next income bracket over the next 90 days, 

Watch it now: https://lnkd.in/ed4vmMvr

This will be the best thing you’ve done all day.
