As a small business owner, it can be difficult and overwhelming to figure out how to get noticed in the tsunami of online content.

Most small businesses turn to marketing agencies to run ads on Google or Facebook to try and get noticed, often to no avail. They end up burning their hard-earned money at the altar of Mark Zuckerberg.

I help you cut through the noise to create unforgettable marketing that grows your business. It all starts with your message. 

Using the proven StoryBrand framework, I help you invite your ideal customers into a transformational story by positioning you as a guide that helps them (the hero of the story) overcome their problems and find success.

If you don't have the right words, nothing else you do will matter. All of your marketing efforts will be a waste of time and money.

I've helped nearly one hundred organizations across the country find the right words for their marketing. I'm ready to help you too. 

Schedule a free 30-minute introductory call with me today, and let's transform your marketing and grow your small business.

ARE YOU BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY YOUR OWN BUSINESS?

I help established service-based businesses break free with strategic clarity and systems that put YOU back in control of your business. 

I'm Ali J. Taylor, and I understand your captivity. Whether you're...
✦ A small business owner ($250K-$1M) chained to constant client demands while your team lacks autonomy
✦ A growing company ($1M-$5M) trapped by operational bottlenecks that limit your expansion
...I've developed a proven framework to negotiate your release.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗢𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀
Your captivity was built with the best intentions—delivering excellent service and building strong relationships. But now:
♟️ Strategic vision is locked behind bars of daily firefighting
⚙ Operations depend entirely on your personal involvement
🔗 Every decision and client need requires your personal involvement

That's why I created the Wisdom+Wayfinder framework: your hostage negotiation plan.

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺:
1️⃣ Clarify: Identify where you've built constraints and who truly needs your attention
2️⃣ Simplify: Create decision frameworks that allow your team to move forward
3️⃣ Systemize: Implement service protocols that maintain quality without your involvement
4️⃣ Protect: Establish boundaries that prevent future captivity

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲:
- Transform from bottleneck to strategic visionary
- Implement team delegation frameworks that maintain quality
- Create client classification systems that optimize your time

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:
"After implementing Ali's framework, we reduced our meeting time from 90 to 25 minutes, optimized our room usage for better profitability, and simplified our entire operation. The clarity helped us make decisive staffing changes that improved our bottom line." — Dr. Bolden Harris, Chiropractor

"You've helped me create a business structure that is both wise in terms of my priorities and how it fits into my life at large. and really helped me find my OWN way vs listening to marketing bros. Thank you!" — Ashley Cox, Nice Guy Reform School

"Ali's consultation was pivotal for restructuring our business plan. His tailored strategies, accountability, and personal support ensured I felt seen and heard."
— Bianca Alvarado, Mother Earth's Learning Center
