For $1M–$10M Trade & Service Business Owners

Is Your Business Trapped in Your Head?

Pinpoint the exact operational bottlenecks keeping you chained to daily firefighting—and discover what it takes to pass the Two-Week Vacation Test.

90-Second Intake • No Sales Pitch • Direct Operational Blueprint

You Built a $3M+ Business... So Why Does It Feel Like a 60-Hour Job?

You’ve scaled revenue, hired crew leads, and bought the equipment. But right now:

  • Every decision stops at your desk. Your phone rings off the hook on job sites for basic calls your team should handle.

  • SOPs live in your head. Process exists, but it’s trapped in your mind or a couple of veteran employees' habits.

  • Taking 14 days off sounds impossible. You know if you completely disconnected for two weeks, projects would stall, cash flow would choke, and clients would complain.

The Hard Truth: You don't have a sales problem. You have a system and bottleneck problem. When the owner is the operating system, growth hits a hard ceiling.

What Is The Operational Bottleneck Audit?

The Operational Bottleneck Audit is a targeted 30-minute diagnostic session designed specifically for $1M–$10M contractors and service operators.

We look under the hood of your operations using the Focus→ Flow →Flourish framework to identify the exact friction points stopping your business from scaling cleanly.

30 Minutes. Total Operational Clarity.

By the end of your audit, you will walk away with:

  • Your Vacation Readiness Score: An honest assessment of what breaks if you step away for 14 days.

  • Primary Bottleneck Identification: Pinpoint whether your leak is in Filter, Love, Operations, or Well-being.

  • A 3-Step Action Plan: Direct operational steps to start removing yourself as the daily bottleneck immediately.

Before working with Cordes, the entire operational system of my business was trapped between my two ears. I was going a thousand miles an hour on my days off and was terrified to step away because I didn't have a system I could pass on. Cordes changed all of that. She made the process of mapping out my business incredibly easy and helped me build 'dummy-proof' systems. In just 90 days, I reclaimed 10 hours a week by delegating my heavy lifting, automated my inventory forecasting with AI, and hit record-breaking revenue of over $20,000 a week. Best of all, I was finally able to take a real vacation while my business ran as usual. Highly recommend!
