The Visionary

  • You have big goals and love what you do but just can't seem to make it all work together.

  • You have big ideas but it takes a long time to implement.

Benefits of Performance Faction Coaching

Performance Faction is dedicated to helping business owners achieve the business and life they want.  Below are the key challenges most owners face and the right column highlights what working with Performance Faction will do for your business.

From Key Challenges

  • Self-Reliant

    "I do it best". Things only happen when owner(s) involved. Quality doesn't consistently meet standards.

  • The Referral Syndrome

    Business lives and dies by the referral, few lead sources elsewhere.

  • Billing Chaos

    Inconsistent and wild variations in pricing and billing practices vary from client to client.

  • Responsive Team

    Team bases success on owner emotions vs tangible results. Small minority does majority of the work. Likelihood of bottom 10% shouldn't be there.

  • Generic Differentiation

    Vague value proposition. Long list of services with little perceivable difference from competition.

  • Growth Myths

    Growth seems more like headaches than success. Myths begin to form to justify limiting beliefs and business practices.

He's been able to use this experience to provide me with very valuable insights into all phases of my business. He's helped me implement structure and systems that I wouldn't be using without his help. His coaching style is flexible and tailored to the individual. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with Russel and my business coach, and I know you will too."

    "Russel has not only been an amazing champion for me - he's been a change agent for my business. We first worked together when he was my client at Lifeblue, then he hired me to do headshots and now he's my business coach. In just a few months, he's helped me create more structure for my business operations, created valuable referrals and recommendations, provided critical feedback for my go to market strategies and identified the self-limiting beliefs that were holding me back. I'm so grateful for the transformations he's already brought about through Performance Faction!"

    "Russel brings invaluable insights from his wealth of experience in business leadership. He has helped us make informed decisions more quickly, shortening the learning curve at critical moments. He has provided tools to build our business and predict future growth. It has been a major advantage to have a coach who has already 'run the traps' help us see around the curves. It has improved our positioning in the market, and created opportunities we previously would not have had access to. This has made us more excited and confident about our future. It's hard to put a price tag on that."

    - Dustin, The People Brand

    "Don't let Russel's soft-spoken, listen-first approach to coaching and leading fool you. Underneath is an intense bias for GSD (Getting Sht Done). In a reasonably short time (6 months), he's helped us define a clear, inspiring path forward for our agency.

    Our agency has leveled up, and we're confident about our success now that Russel has helped us define and plan for it."

    "I'm passionate about amazing creative and having a strong team.  Through Russel's guidance I was able to transform my business through better forecasting as well as putting the necessary processes in place so that my team can succeed. Especially when I'm not always able to be on point.  Having now solved both the business and creative, my business is on the path towards a better future."
