Coaching for owners, founders and leaders
One-on-one coaching for your business and your life. The goal: six years of progress in six months.
The truth
Not you. Not your business. Not me.
Every owner carries blind spots, habits that made sense five years ago, and decisions made on autopilot. You can't see them, because you're inside it every day.
You
You built something. You took the risk and kept it running when nobody else would.
Me
While you're in the spotlight, I see the parts you miss: the wasted hours, the deal that's quietly underpriced, the habit that's costing you more than you think. I'm not here to take the stage. I'm here so you can play bigger on it.
From the spotlight, you can't see any of that. That's why you don't realize you need me.
The easier way is never clear from the inside. From in there, everything just looks like work.
So we step outside: outside the business, and outside yourself. First principles: what is this for, what's working, and what are you doing only because you always have?
The method · Locked In
The goal: six years of progress in six months. We do it with Locked In: one result, 90 days, every week checked against reality. Two cycles is the six-month goal.
Score your faith, finances, friends & family, fun and fitness from 0 to 10, and name the gap. A low score is a signal, not a judgment.
One area, one 90-day result, and the real problem behind it.
One number, a truthful starting point, and a Day 90 target. One other area gets a weekly standard so it doesn't slide.
Frogs are the important, finishable actions you'd rather avoid. We rank them, and you take the top one first.
What moved the number, what wasted the week, what you're avoiding. Then one change: remove a habit that costs you, replace it with one that serves you, and repeat until it runs on its own.
Miss a week? Restart from where you are. No catch-up, no guilt.
Score each area from 0 to 10. A low score is a signal, not a judgment.
Biggest gap right now: Fun (4/10). That's a likely place for a first 90-day cycle to start.
Two ways to work together
You choose how to pay.
Best for business goals
Nothing upfront, no retainer. We set a baseline from your last 12 months. I take 20% of the measurable gain above that baseline, while we work together and for 6 months after. You keep 80%. No upside, no pay. This path runs on open books.
Any goal, in business or the rest of your life
One price per 90-day Locked In cycle, paid at the end of the cycle. If you're not satisfied, you don't pay. The natural fit for goals in fitness, faith, family or fun, and for anyone who prefers a set price. We'll go over the price on the call.
An example, for illustration only. Change the numbers to try your own.
Upside $200,000. You keep $160,000. My share $40,000. Everything up to your baseline stays yours. Above it, you keep 80%.
I'm expensive when it works and free when it doesn't. I expand the pie; I don't take a slice of the one you already have. Win for you, win for me.

Gil & Nami
A builder who starts from first principles.
The inner work
Business problems are often personal ones in disguise: burnout, fear of the next step, a gap between what you value and how you spend your days. Nami works on this side, and a little of the spiritual side for those who want it. It's included in the coaching when you want it, never forced.
Her aim is your best in all five F's. Then she helps you create the perfect moment, when all five line up, and a model to repeat it.
Nami is the bestselling author of two books on inner development, published in Japan. Since 2018 she has worked one-on-one with more than 1,000 people and led executive retreats. Before that, she spent over a decade in real estate investment and development.

Questions
We spend 15 minutes on where you are and where you want to go. If I can help, you leave with a clear next step. If I can't, I'll tell you.
Nothing upfront. On the upside path, I take 20% of the profit you make above your last 12 months, while we work together and for 6 months after. On the fixed-fee path, you pay one agreed price at the end of each 90-day cycle. No gain, no pay on the upside path. Not satisfied, no pay on the fixed fee.
We agree on the measure in writing before we start. Usually it's profit, compared with your last 12 months. If profit isn't the right measure for your business, we choose one that is.
Then the fixed fee is usually the better fit. Or we agree on another measure, such as revenue.
Only on the upside path, because that's how we measure the gain. Your numbers stay confidential, and I'll sign an NDA if you want one.
One-on-one video calls, a short review every Sunday, and messages between calls when you need them. It's built around running your business, not on top of it.
In 90-day cycles. The goal, six years of progress in six months, is two cycles.
No. It's coaching with Nami on mindset and values, not mental-health treatment. It's included, and it's up to you whether you use it.
15 minutes. No cost, no pressure.
