Stop feeling overwhelmed.
Start running a profitable business.
Many founders feel like they just created a stressful, 80-hour-a-week job for themselves instead of a true business. When you have to make every single decision yourself, your growth will always be stuck.
Our business coaches will help you review and improve your operations, sales, marketing, and accounting step-by-step. The goal is to build clear systems, so the business can run smoothly even when you take a week off.
What our clients say
I just had a phone call with Jani, and it was fantastic.
As someone in the renovation industry, I’ve always found it difficult to trust business coaches because it’s easy to assume they won’t fully understand the unique challenges of running a construction company. I’m really glad I gave Jani the opportunity.
Even without a construction background, Jani quickly identified gaps in my systems and processes, asked the right questions, and provided practical advice that gave me a much clearer path forward. His ability to understand my business and pinpoint areas for improvement was genuinely impressive.
If you’re looking for a business coach who can help you build better systems, improve operations, and scale your business with confidence, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jani.
Had a great conversation with Jani. He took the time to research my business beforehand and came to the call prepared with thoughtful ideas and a fresh perspective. I appreciated that the discussion was practical, specific to my company, and provided a few actionable opportunities to consider. Thanks again for your time and insights.
Outstanding marketing, SEO, and consulting services! Their expertise has helped improve our online presence, increase visibility, and attract more potential clients. They take the time to understand our business goals and provide practical, results-driven strategies. Communication is always prompt, and helpful. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to grow their business and strengthen their digital marketing efforts.
I wasn't sure coaching was worth the money but Modern Marks proved me wrong. I was working long weeks and stressed all the time. They helped me set up real systems so things run without me. I took a week off recently and nothing fell apart!! solid business coaching, definitely recommend
Jani was incredibly helpful in providing detailed and actionable guidance about how to overcome specific roadblocks in my business. It's valuable to get perspective from someone who has achieved the things you're striving to. Very high quality consultation. Highly recommend Modern Marks.
Modern marks business consulting services has been a monumental help in my new pressure washing startup in every way for the last 3+ years. I have now had hundreds of hours one-on-one with Jani, who has helped me take my business to a new level, helping me build systems in marketing, sales, operations, finance and more. If you are serious about growth in any small to medium sized business, I would 100% recommend their consulting services.
From Doing the Work to Leading the Team
Every business owner eventually hits a wall because there are only 24 hours in a day. If you do all the work yourself, you can only grow so much. We help you shift from doing the daily tasks to actually leading the business. For example, instead of answering every customer support email yourself, you build a simple guide so your team can do it.
“If the business stops running the moment you take a vacation, you own a demanding job, not a business.“

The Time Review
For three days, write down what you do every 15 minutes. You might find you are spending three hours a week fixing printer jams or formatting spreadsheets instead of focusing on growing the business.
The 80% Rule
If a team member can do a task 80% as well as you, hand it over to them today. For instance, letting an assistant handle scheduling might feel less personal at first, but it frees up your afternoon to focus on high-value sales calls.
The Long-Term Vision
Write down exactly what your day should look like one year from now. If your goal is to lead the team, you need to stop doing the basic administrative work that someone else can easily handle.
The Nine Pillars of a Strong Business
We help you look at every part of your business clearly and practically. We provide the tools and guidance, and together we build reliable systems so your business can run like clockwork.
Learning to Let Go
Learning to let go of control is hard. We help you understand the true value of your time. For example, we will show you how delegating basic bookkeeping can save you 10 hours a month, allowing you to focus on bringing in new clients.
Finding Your Unique Value
If you offer exactly what everyone else does, customers will only care about price. We help you find your unique value. For example, a landscaping company might offer a guaranteed 24-hour response time, making them the clear choice for busy property managers.
Attracting the Right Customers
We help you build a clear path to bring in new customers consistently. Instead of guessing with expensive ads, we help you create helpful guides—like a ‘Winter Home Maintenance Checklist’—that attract the exact right people to your business organically.
Helping Instead of Pitching
Instead of being pushy, we teach you how to ask the right questions and solve problems. You will learn a simple step-by-step conversation guide so that talking to potential customers feels natural and helpful, rather than forced or uncomfortable.
Writing Things Down
Right now, your business only exists in your head. We help you write down exactly how things should be done. For example, you can simply record your screen while processing an order, and we will turn that video into a simple checklist for your new hires.
Creating Happy Clients
The first few days after someone buys from you are the most important. We help you create a warm, simple welcome process. A quick, friendly check-in email two days after a purchase can easily turn a one-time buyer into a lifelong fan.
Understanding Your Numbers
Making sales is great, but keeping the money is what really matters. We will teach you how to read your basic financial reports in plain english, so you always know exactly how much cash you really have to spend and where your money is going.
Paying Yourself First
We teach you a simple way to manage money so you always get paid first. For example, by automatically moving a small percentage of every sale into a separate savings account immediately, you make sure your business is always profitable.
Building a Great Team
Hiring the wrong person is stressful and expensive. We help you create clear job descriptions and simple interview questions. For example, asking ‘How would you handle a frustrated customer?’ will tell you more about a person than a standard resume ever could.
What Happens When We Work Together
We don’t just give you a book to read and wish you luck. We work with you directly to look at how your business runs today. We give you clear, manageable steps to improve, and we check in regularly to make sure you are making progress.
Reviewing Your Current Setup
First, we look at where your time and money are going right now. By doing a simple review of your daily schedule, we can easily identify tasks that you should pass on to someone else. Once we know where you are starting from, we can make a clear plan.
Clarifying Your Message
We help you explain exactly what makes your business special in simple terms. If a customer can’t quickly understand why they should choose you over a competitor, they will just look for the lowest price. We help you write a message that is clear and appealing.
Building a Way to Get Customers
Instead of hoping people find you, we help you set up a reliable system to attract new customers. For example, we might help you create a helpful checklist that people can download from your website in exchange for their email address, so you can stay in touch with them over time.
Improving Your Sales Process
We teach you a comfortable way to talk to potential customers. We practice common conversations together, so that when someone asks ‘Why is this so expensive?’, you will feel calm and ready to explain the true value of what you offer.
Creating Simple Checklists
We help you write down the everyday tasks of your business. This means that if you hire a new assistant next week, you will already have a simple checklist ready to hand them, so they can start doing the work correctly from their very first day.
Organizing Your Finances
We help you organize your business bank accounts so that managing your money is simple. By separating your savings, taxes, and daily expenses, you will always know exactly how much money you have to pay your bills and pay yourself.
Ready to Build a Solid Foundation?
Many business owners want to grow quickly, but if your daily operations are already chaotic, adding more customers will only add more stress. We help you build a solid foundation first, so you can welcome new sales with confidence.
Build for the Future.
Growing a business is only part of the journey. Making sure the business can run without your daily involvement is true success. What are your long-term goals?
Take Time Off Peacefully
Build a business that doesn’t rely on you being there every single day. When your team has clear checklists, you can take a week off and know that everything is running smoothly.
Open More Locations
Once you have a clear, written plan for how your first location works, it becomes much easier to train new managers and open a second or third location with confidence.
Create a Valuable Asset
Even if you never plan to sell your business, organizing your processes and making the company profitable without you makes it a highly valuable asset for the future.
“Time is valuable. Instead of spending another year trying to figure everything out on your own through trial and error, let us help you build a clear, proven path forward.”
— Modern Marks Advisory
