Why Cultivate Works For Clients
No "Off-The-Shelf" Solutions
We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to coaching. Sales is not just sales. It means something different depending on the stage of your business and your skill level as an owner. That's why we spend so much time getting to know your business and how you like to operate. We like to dig in and develop a 5-year plan based on where you are in your business, and where you would like to be.
We Help You Stay Accountable
If you've ever set a goal with a partner, you know how helpful it is to have them push you when you want to quit. We apply that same notion to advising. We help you set achievable goals and consistently follow up with you to ensure you are staying on track to hit your most audacious goals.
Flexible Meeting Structure
All of our 1-on-1 advising is customized based on the speed at which you want to grow and how much involvement you want from the advisor. Based on your needs, your advisor will recommend a number of hours—typically between 5-10 hours each month—to help you grow your business at the right speed. Then you and your advisor will determine how much of that time is spent in meetings versus implementation. Best of all, we have offices in the US and Canada, but 60% of our clients are virtual. Depending on your location you can choose to work with your advisor in person or virtually.
Owners to Advisors
All of our advisors have run their own business. They understand where you're coming from and can relate to both the struggles and wins that accompany being an owner. Because they've been in your shoes—and work with owners like you in multiple industries— they've likely seen it before. Our advisors bring thousands of hours of advising and past experience that can shortcut your time to results. Our training program puts advisors through hundreds of hours of training to ensure you get the value you deserve. On top of that, each week we have all our advisors split into mastermind groups to tackle challenging client problems - so if they can't solve something in-meeting, they'll have the resources to figure it out for the next meeting.
Industry Agnostic
One of the questions we get most often is "do you work in my industry?" With our advisors working in over 140 different industries, the answer is probably, yes. We can say this with confidence, because we're industry agnostic. We don't pretend to be the expert in your industry. That's your job. We're experts in developing owners and scaling business. Our experience has taught us that small business owners don't need more industry knowledge, they need the core business skills to help them move the needle.

The Cultivate Process
Regardless of where you fall in your entrepreneurial journey, we tailor your advising to ensure you're focused on the right initiatives to see the biggest impact in your business. Here are some of the ways we can split up your time so you feel the most impact.
Planning
Get a custom roadmap for your business. Spend time with your advisor to get everything out of your head. Your advisor will help you sort it out and set priorities so you know what you should be working on to reach the vision you've laid out for your business.
Accountability
Hit your goals with regular check-ins from your advisor. You can set up recurring meetings with your advisor to review your progress and ensure you have what you need to crush your goals.
Build
Build systems and processes with your advisor. When you're working on a challenging project outside of your skill set, your advisor can speed up the process by helping you to build out tools or systems to implement into your business.
Skill Development
Develop core business skills. We have 1000s of pages of resources and tools to help you, and your team, learn skills that will help you grow your business. Your advisor will help you identify where you might have a gap and will help you develop skills when you need them.
Impact Hours
Save time to focus on growing your business. Sometimes you don't have time to build something you discussed in a meeting. You and your advisor can decided to use impact hours, in which your advisor can build out tools, systems or a specific deliverable before your next meeting, giving you a chance to inject them into the business faster.
Sound Boarding
Share your ideas and your concerns. When running a business, you might not have another person to bounce ideas off of. Use your advisor as a partner to share ideas with and gain that outside perspective needed to help you make decisions. It's business therapy.

Since working with Cultivate one of the things I am doing now is using data to make decisions that move the company in the right direction. After being with Cultivate for four years we have nearly doubled in size.
Neil Shah
Working with my advisor has helped build additional platforms in my business that I wasn't thinking about before starting with Cultivate. Today, we have more than doubled where we started less than 4 years ago.
Shane Kost
I always felt like I had to do everything from the minutia to the bigger projects. My advisor helped us understand we were ready to grow and even helped us to develop our leadership skills. After working with Cultivate for 2 years we grew from 2 employees to 6 employees and doubled our revenue.
Eva Kogut
I worked with my advisor for more than three years, and since then I have recommended him to nearly every business owner I've met (and probably to some non-business owners too). Together, we built a financial model with long-term vision, a recruiting plan, marketing plan, implemented leadership systems and solved nearly every growing business challenge along the way from being a solo owner-operator to a staff of 13. 11/10 would recommend.
Mike McElroy
Stephanie Englund Siegel
I have worked with my advisor since 2014 and I have only great things to say about Cultivate Advisors. When I first met my advisor my business wasn't growing like I wanted and I saw the signs that I needed help and could not make the change I needed on my own. I was introduced to my advisor by two business owners and I thought if multiple people are recommending the same person I need to talk to him. We spent a lot of time creating systems and tools to put into place that I still use everyday in my business. My advisor has always helped me push past my comfort level to help me achieve my goals year after year and in the way I wanted to run my business and stay true to myself.
Lauren Aloise
I have worked with Cultivate Advisors for over a year now and have seen excellent results. My advisor and his team are highly skilled at helping business owners create solid systems for scale and also at teaching valuable leadership skills that are necessary to create a thriving business and strong company culture. I recommended Cultivate Advisors to other business owners without hesitation.
Ismaël Ulvik
Having a business coach is one of the smartest investments we have made as 50-50 owners. The feedback the experience and the perspective our advisory has been bringing in the last 2 years and continually brings to the table makes us come back for more every time. When hard decisions have to be made, we bring our advisor in on it to help us structure the problem.
David Shih
We've had the privilege of working with our advisor since 2016, and witness the amazing transformation our business went through. Over the past two years, our recurring revenue model has grown 86%, one of our primary goals set in the initial planning meeting. The total annual revenue (combining recurring revenue and one-time project revenue) also increased 69.2%.
Our advisor is meticulous about all the details of our business operations. Her ability to dissect and dig into various issues of our business was extremely helpful in helping us understand the root of problem. With a Cultivate advisor, we have a reliable 3rd person to rely on for independent and professional advices. We highly recommend Cultivate Advisor to any business owners struggling with the issue of wearing too many hats!
Juliette Schmerler
Working with my advisor has been an amazing experience. I have tried working with a few business coaches over the years but never quite got the real in-depth analysis and guidance from someone who was more knowledgeable in certain areas than I was. My advisor's personal career and entrepreneurial success also add to his credibility and understanding of business. Highly recommended!
Frédérik Nissen
Cultivate Advisors has pretty much changed my life as an entrepreneur. My advisor has helped us on many aspects of our business. We drastically improved the way the automatization of many of our internal systems, our approach with HR and with the bonuses we give to our staff and with our growth strategy. We are currently working with Cultivate Advisors on acquisition strategies and building new business models within our own company. The future of our business is exciting!
James Blick
Working with Cultivate has been a complete before and after for our business. My advisor has helped us get clarity on our vision and goals, become more critical and strategic thinkers and stronger leaders. The impact of these sessions have clearly trickled down into the business results and - critically - in ensuring our team is fully engaged. I strongly recommend working with Cultivate to boost your business, and improve your quality of life as an owner. It’s like doing an MBA through the highly practical lens of your own business.
Trevor Marples
Cultivate Advisors have been instrument in bridging the gap from being successfully self-employed, to actually running a business. After 8 years of entrepreneurial experience, I was ready to take my company to the next level, and my advisor has guided me every step of the way, making the process of building the foundations simple and long lasting. Highly highly recommend Cultivate Advisors for solopreneurs ready to exponentially grow their business!
