Hear from happy clients

“A leader who consistently steers towards achieving productive outcomes. One of Kevin's most commendable qualities is his authenticity, and his genuine concern for the well-being of those around him is truly remarkable.”

- Carol G.

“I’ve been working with Kevin at Business Actuators for about a year now, and I can honestly say it’s been a game-changer for both me and my business. When I first started coaching with Kevin, I was a completely exhausted solopreneur—doing everything myself, running on fumes, and unknowingly holding my business back because I didn’t have the tools, systems, or even the courage to delegate.”

- Charlott S.

FAQ

1.s“We’re already successful. We don’t need coaching.”
 

Response:


This statement will sometimes reveal a denial that a business is actually in a much worse situation than the owner realizes.
But more commonly, for businesses that have done reasonably well, success can be deceptive. It often hides cracks that have been forming beneath the surface. Business Actuators helps companies not just maintain success but scale it. Our coaching identifies blind spots, optimizes what's already working, and brings alignment so you don’t plateau, or worse, backslide.

2. “We don’t have time for coaching right now.”
 

Response:


If you don’t have an experienced strategic coach guiding you, you’re likely wasting hours of time without even realizing it.
Inefficient systems, distractions, and the lack of a clear and proven strategy all waste hours of your time every week. 

Time is your most valuable asset, which is exactly why coaching matters. Our approach is designed to maximize your time by focusing on what truly moves the needle. Even one strategic hour a week can generate freedom, unlock growth, and prevent wasted effort in the long run. Getting guidance from a qualified and experienced coach is an investment that pays for itself many times over. 

3.“We’ve worked with consultants before, and it didn’t work.”
 

Response:


We get it. Many consultants and coaches give advice and then leave. And many advertise that they help with strategy and scaling, but they just aren’t qualified. 

We're in it with you. Here’s how: 

  • We build a custom roadmap unique to your business (We know how to identify problems.)

  • We walk with you through execution (We have real-world solutions.)

  • We hold you accountable to outcomes (We know how to get you to focus on what is necessary). 

Our clients don’t just get ideas, they get results.

4.“We’re not sure we’re big enough.”
 

Response:


If you’ve seen some success, and you have a team and a vision to grow—you’re big enough.
Most of our clients have more than five employees and between $1M and $60M in revenue, but if you’re thinking about the possibility of hiring an experienced and qualified coach, let's talk.
