Jonathan Herps

👉 WHAT GOT YOU HERE… WON’T GET YOU THERE.

As a Founder & CEO, I’ve lived the highs and lows of scaling a business. I know the pressure of carrying it all on your shoulders—of being the bottleneck without even realising it.

Today, I coach and mentor Founder-CEOs and their leadership teams to break that ceiling. To stop being the hero, and start building a business that runs without them.

🚩 THE PROBLEM:
Most CEOs are stuck working in the business, not on it. Growth has plateaued. The team depends on them for every decision. Work-life balance? Non-existent.

📈 THE SOLUTION:
I help CEOs:

Build a self-managing company that scales without burning out
Develop a star leadership team that owns the outcomes
Create a clear strategy and execution rhythm that keeps everyone aligned
Multiply revenue, profit, and business value—without multiplying your workload

💥 MY CREDIBILITY:
I’ve been the CEO of 5 companies, served on multiple boards, created and scaled my own businesses, and coached 100s of CEOs and leadership teams. I’ve sat in your seat—and I’ve helped leaders step out of it.

🗣️ WHAT CLIENTS SAY:
“Jonathan’s superpower is to challenge the norm… He gets straight to the root cause.”

“He’s both grounded and visionary—he gave me the clarity to step back and scale up.”

“A genuine, experienced coach who transformed my business in under a year.”

"I would recommend Jonathan's coaching to any entrepreneur who is looking to take his/her company to the next level and wants insightful feedback and tools to implement this growth. You will see immediate impact from your first meeting and beyond."

"I credit Jonathan's coaching with significant growth, both for my business and for me as a CEO.."

"Jonathan is integral to our journey from a startup into a well functioning medium sized company." 

⭐ WHO I WORK WITH:
Growth-minded Founder/CEOs of private businesses (10–50 staff, $1–25m revenue) who are ready to scale faster, lead better, and regain their time.

🌍 Based near Sydney, I coach nationally and internationally.

3x Founder | Founder Acceleration Coach | Helping high-performing founders scale faster with absolute clarity | Sold $65mm online

As a founder of 3 companies and 1 non-profit, with 2 successful exits, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to grow a business.

I’ve also experienced the toll of stress, insomnia, and health challenges. I know how overwhelming it can be when scaling your business feels like an uphill battle.

In my 11 years with EO Argentina, I listened to the struggles of +100 successful founders (doing at least USD 1M a year in sales). I realized that beneath the surface, it’s often chaos: isolation, financial pressure, and fear of burnout. 

While most accelerators focus on startups, the truth is that, for businesses under $10MM in revenue, the biggest bottleneck to growth is you: the founder.

That's why I created Founder Accelerator: to empower the founders of renowned companies like Swag, Trading Company, Sancho Motors, Jams, Crawford Partners LLC, Lemon Basil, We Are Doers, and Mad Hatter LLC. 

My mission is to help them scale themselves first enhancing their clarity, focus, and efficiency, so they can grow their businesses with unparalleled speed and confidence.

Through personalized coaching, a 5-pillar playbook, and access to top professionals, we don’t just build businesses — we optimize the founder. 

If you're ready to scale your business while maintaining a healthy, balanced life, send me a DM and I’ll show you how Founder Accelerator can help you achieve both.

Ignacio Carcavallo

Admitting you're drowning is f*cking hard. It's hard to say out loud:

"I want to stop sleeping 4 hours a night."

"I don't want to spend my life doing work I hate."

"I want to stop being stressed every single day."

"I need help. This is too much."

I’m grateful for the founders who are brave enough to admit that burnout and grinding isn't the life they want to build. Grateful for their trust. Grateful to watch them get their lives back.

You didn't start this business to be miserable. You started it for freedom. For control. For stability.

So don't let the journey drive you away from that.

If you need someone to hold you accountable while you work on your visionary time and helps you execute your vision, the Founder Accelerator Execution Group is exactly what you need in 2026. 

You can check all frameworks and systems with the link in my bio. 

It’s the difference between grinding another year and actually scaling yourself and your company.

Here's a bucket of iced water before 2026 starts

How to create a 3-year vision so your team stops asking you about every decision

Your 3-year picture is the bridge between today and your 10-year target. It shows what needs to be true in three years to stay on track. And when you combine it with your core values, those two things become the filter for EVERY decision.

Now your team can make calls without you. You stop being the bottleneck.

This is Day 4 of the Vision to Traction Organizer. Follow for the full series on building a 2026 plan with real structure.

How to delegate before vacation (without your business falling apart)

If you can't take time off without checking your phone every hour, you don't have a delegation problem. You have a system problem.

This carousel shares the fix so you can actually disconnect.

Want the complete delegation framework? Link in bio for the Hiring & Recruiting Course.

Vacation - delegation

How to set business goals for 2026 (that your team can actually execute on)

The reason your 2025 goals failed isn't lack of effort. It's lack of clarity. Vague goals create hidden expectations. 

The fix: Write goals like a third party will audit them. No room for interpretation. No "what I really meant was..."

This is Day 5 of the Vision to Traction Organizer. We're building a 2026 plan that doesn't fall apart by February.

Follow for the rest.

Most founders hire on gut feel. 

They like someone's energy. 

Their resume looks good. 

They have the right experience. 

Then 6 months later, they realize: This person is talented. But they're toxic. Or they don't make decisions the way we do. Or they're not aligned with how we actually work.

Skills got them in the door. But values are what make them stay or what destroy your culture. The big question us: HOW DO YOU TEST THEM? 

If you want the full system, check the course in my bio.

I talk to founders every week who are beating themselves up for not being further along.

Then I ask: "Where were you 3 years ago?"

The shift in their face is immediate. 

They forgot. They've been so focused on the gap between where they are and where they want to be, they stopped seeing how far they've actually traveled.

If that's you today - pause. Look back for a second. You've built something most people only talk about.

Happy Thanksgiving.

How to assign accountability for business goals

When you put two people on one goal, both assume the other is handling it. Then nothing gets done. Or it gets done halfway. And when you ask "who's responsible?" you get finger-pointing instead of answers.

One owner doesn't mean they do everything themselves. It means they're the single point of contact. The person whose name is on it. 

This is Day 6 of the Vision to Traction Organizer. Follow for the complete 2026 planning framework.
