BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION FOR STARTUP FOUNDERS
Be the only choice.
A 6-week strategy intensive for early-stage founders who want to elevate their competitive advantage and transform their business. If you've crossed the 7-figure revenue threshold, you’ve successfully proven there’s a growing market for the value you offer. But to get to the next level of growth in your business things seem murky.
How do you stand out from the noise and clutter of a crowded market?
What should you focus and prioritize your resources on next?
How do you grow and scale your business without burning out or bottlenecking your own progress?
This is the early-struggle plateau where most startups stall.
If you're stuck here, you need clarity and a transformative strategy you have 100% confidence will get you moving in the right direction.
This requires thinking in a certain way to help you see your business differently, so customers do too.
No business can grow and evolve beyond the current knowledge and capability of its leaders. Enlightened founders know the marketplace moves too fast or one mind and is unforgiving territory for the business without strong competitive advantage.
Uncover the one idea of value that makes your business the only choice and create the roadmap to get beyond the $1-$5M revenue level.
Attract an expanding base of loyal, advocate customers
Increase productivity and retention of talented employees
Attract the right investment growth partners
Command premium pricing of your offerings
Grow distribution with strong velocities in sales channels
Gain attention from earned social and trade media
Less dependence on advertising
Together, we can strengthen your competitive edge by aligning your thinking, team, message, and customer experience around a high value ideal the marketplace rewards.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY!
"Working with Thomson was immensely valuable. Make sure you're ready to do the work. Our company invested a lot of time contemplating each topic on our own in advance of each strategy session. The quality of the time you spend thinking through each framework and preparing for your strategy sessions will proportionately equal the quality of the final product. Thomson facilitates, guides and coaches, but it’s your effort that determines success."

What makes this advisory program different.
Most advisors focus on tactics–marketing campaigns, branding exercises, or “growth hacks.” That’s not what I do. This program goes deeper. We’ll uncover the one idea of value that makes your business the only choice for the customers who matter most and then embed it across every part of your business so you can scale with confidence. This is not a marketing exercise. It's a business transformation sprint.
