Owner, Thompson HVAC | Nashua, NH
James was working 70-hour weeks just keeping up with service calls and estimates. Scheduling was a mess, his team kept asking him the same questions, and he couldn't find time to grow the business.
We set up a simple scheduling system, created clear job procedures for his techs, and trained his office manager to handle day-to-day decisions. No fancy software—just practical systems that actually work.
James cut his work week to 45 hours and his team runs jobs without constant check-ins. He's now booking commercial accounts he never had time to pursue before. His business grew 30% without him working more.
"Before working with Samantha, I was the bottleneck in my own business. Now my team knows what to do, and I can actually take a weekend off without my phone blowing up."
— James Thompson, Owner
Grief Counselor | Merrimack, NH
Ruby wanted to leave her full-time job and start her own counseling practice but had no idea how to handle the business side—pricing, paperwork, client management, all of it.
We set up her business structure, figured out pricing that actually works, created intake forms and client systems, and walked through incorporation. The boring stuff that no one teaches you but you absolutely need.
Ruby now runs a full-time practice that supports her family. She focuses on helping people heal while the business runs smoothly behind the scenes.
"I had no clue how to actually run a business. Samantha didn't just give me advice—she helped me build it step by step. Now I have a real practice, not just a dream."
— Ruby Brown-Herring
"I was spending 10 hours a week just doing schedules and dealing with last-minute callouts. Samantha helped us set up a simple system that cut that down to maybe 2 hours. Now my staff actually knows what's expected."
"Before Samantha, I didn't even know what I needed help with—I just knew I was drowning. She figured out where the problems actually were and gave me practical steps to fix them. Not theory. Real solutions."
"My business coach told me I needed 'better systems' but never explained what that meant. Samantha actually showed me how to build them. It's not rocket science, but someone has to teach you."
Start with a free 15-minute consultation. We'll discuss your challenges and recommend the best fit. If you're not sure what you need, the Business Health Diagnostic is a great way to identify your biggest opportunities.
While we're based in Nashua and primarily serve Southern NH (Nashua, Manchester, Hudson, Merrimack), we work with clients throughout New England and can provide virtual consulting services.
We bring world-class operational expertise from Stanford and Google, adapted specifically for small businesses. No corporate jargon or one-size-fits-all solutions. We work with your actual budget, team, and constraints to build practical systems that work.
Many clients see immediate improvements in clarity and decision-making after the first session. Operational changes typically show results within 4-8 weeks, depending on the complexity of the issues we're addressing.
That's completely normal and exactly why we offer a free consultation. Most business owners know something isn't working but aren't sure what to fix first. We'll help you identify the real issues.
Yes! We work with businesses at all stages, from pre-launch to established companies. Early-stage businesses benefit from getting systems right from the start rather than trying to fix them later.
We work with service-based businesses, contractors, retail shops, professional practices, and more. If you have a team and operational challenges, we can help.
No. While many clients find ongoing retainer support valuable, you can start with a single consultation or hourly session. We'll never lock you into a contract that doesn't make sense for your business.

Helping local business owners figure out what's broken and how to fix it—without the corporate jargon
I worked at Google and went to Stanford for business school. Now I help small business owners in Southern NH figure out the operational stuff that no one teaches you—how to actually run the business so it doesn't run you.
I worked with Google's CEO during a major growth period. Big companies have entire teams for operations. Small businesses have you—doing everything. I help bring that level of organization to businesses that can't afford a full operations team.
I saw the difference good systems make at the highest level. Then I saw small business owners struggle without access to that knowledge. It doesn't have to be complicated—you just need someone to show you what actually works.
Big companies have teams of people handling operations. Small business owners are expected to figure it all out themselves while also running the business. That's not realistic. You don't need to hustle harder—you need someone to show you what to fix and how to fix it.
I have an MBA from Stanford and worked with startups, venture firms, and business accelerators. I also founded and ran a nonprofit—so I know what it's like to build something from nothing with limited resources.
I use approaches that have been tested in real businesses, not theoretical frameworks from a textbook. What works at scale can work for small businesses too—you just need to adapt it to your reality.
What works in one type of business often works in others. I've seen the same problems show up everywhere—scheduling chaos, unclear responsibilities, reactive firefighting. The fixes are more similar than you'd think.
I'm not going to tell you to implement enterprise software or hire three new people. We work with what you have—your current team, your actual budget, your real constraints.
You know your customers and your market better than anyone. I bring the operational know-how. Together we figure out what needs to change and how to actually make it happen.
