Making a difference in 
the lives of small business owners every day

Brian Alquist offers business coaching and executive mentoring services to success-minded business owners in the pursuit of exceptional results.

You’ve worked hard to build a successful business but you want more, and a better, balanced life.

I am not a consultant; I am a coach and a strategist who specializes in providing owners of small businesses with the systems, strategies, and discipline that they need to support and sustain growth.

Whether you aspire to achieve bottom-line growth or a business exit, my unique set of business tools and wealth of experience, together with an organized approach to planning and execution helps our success-minded clients get an incredible return on their coaching investment and achieve more with their business than they ever thought possible.

Our programs

It’s time to stop working “in” the business and to start working “on” it. Our programs help you gain clarity of vision, keeping you on a path to greater success. We offer two types of coaching:

Individual Coaching
For business owners prepared to make at least a 6-month commitment to learn a deliberate and disciplined approach to problem solving, personal development and goal attainment. We are accessible to provide input on issues as they arise and participate in planning and educational events for critical skills building.

Team Coaching
For management teams. We help boost teamwork and efficiency in the pursuit of team goals. Specific group coaching techniques are applied during educational and planning events to enhance learning through interactions with peers across multiple industries.

What you can expect

• Gain clarity of vision on the action steps needed to achieve sustainable growth

• Create systems utilizing a team approach that allows your business to increasingly function without you

• Increase profitability and cash flow by leveraging both internal and external resources

• Prepare and position your business for an exit strategy

What people are saying

"Successful sale"

“We built a business that worked without us, the owners. The business was well-positioned for sale when we decided to go to market.”

- Jeannie R.
"Prepare for exit"

“We’ve worked hard to build a strong team culture and to sustain a rate of growth that will make the business attractive to prospective buyers at the time of exit.”

- Dave S.
"Freedom & Flexibility"

“We’ve worked to clarify everyone’s role, appointed key functional managers, and are delegating work to our team members more consistently. Our employees are challenged and engaged, and we (the owners) are focused on things that really matter.”

- Mike C.
"Bottom-line growth"

“By taking a consistent approach to bottom-line growth, I’ve achieved a three-fold increase in net profit, and the value of my business more than doubled over 5 years. The future of the business and of my financial future is on solid ground.”

- Scott C.
