And she did it on a $0/month marketing budget without killing herself or her team creating endless social media content. Now, while she still runs her highly successful events company, she also breaks down how to create Marketing That Works for Small Business Budgets [Beyond Social Media] – and she can do it in under 10 minutes… wanna see?

Business Operations Systems

EOS | Ryan Jankovic

For as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with both business growth and helping others. For the past 20+ years, I have grown multiple companies, departments, and leaders in a variety of industries. I have led organizations to record sales, and sold three of them. It would be easy to say that it was all success over the past decade, but that is just not true. It is through the struggles of running a business that we learn the most. I know what it is like to be the person in charge and making the best financial decision for the organization. I have spent countless hours looking for ‘the right person’, or an online tool that will make our business processes more efficient. I worked harder, and not always smarter – that was all before I discovered what EOS can do for business clarity and growth!

Now as an EOS Implementer, I get the opportunity to do what I love each day – help other entrepreneurs and their leadership teams grow and scale their businesses. Maybe your business is hitting the ceiling and you are not sure what to do about it. Perhaps your business is growing rapidly, and you are trying to catch up. I have been there. Let’s talk about ways that EOS can help.

EOS | Andrew Newsom

Andrew is a certified EOS Implementer in Dallas, TX. He used EOS in his own business so he knows firsthand the power of EOS. He started his business (Wisteria) from scratch and grew it to 150 employees and 30 million in revenue before selling it to a private equity group in 2018. He works with clients in all industries and loves seeing organizations grow and thrive using EOS.

Jonathan King is an executive coach for System and Soul, and the founder of 6 Dimensions of Compensation. He helps small businesses move from founder-led to senior leadership team-led, helping leadership teams find the change they need by creating structural and cultural breakthroughs for people and businesses.

Kenny Lange Coaching | Kenny Lange

Kenny Lange Coaching helps nonprofits and agencies scale in 90 days without having to choose between being people-first or high-performance.

After selling his company that he started in his late 20s to another agency, he served as its second-in-command and helped grow their revenue by almost double in 2 years.

During that time, he self-implemented a framework at that other agency and saw its impact was huge! However, he later found the System & Soul Framework and wished he had found it earlier because he would have been able to help those organizations achieve more growth with less pain.

Now, as a coach, he creates leadership and organizational transformation that teams actually buy into so that they can build a people-first and high-performance culture.

When he’s not coaching, he serves as the Director of Operations for his church. He and his wife, Rebekah, have fostered 18 kids over five years, adopted 1, and are in the process of adopting another.
