We specialize in getting the Founder out of the day-to-day operations and finding a right-hand person they can trust.
We provide the resources and done-for-you support your business really needs to scale sustainably without everything being dependent on you.
We partner with our clients to ensure they have the ecosystem for scalable and sustainable success:
- The right Strategies to successfully realize their vision without burning out
- The right Planning to connect vision to execution and ensure the right things are being done at the right time
- The right Systems, Team, and Leadership to ensure everything isn't dependent on the founder
- The right Insight to understand what's working and what to change for accelerated results
Taking your business from multi-6 to multi-7+ figures can feel like you are...
- Drowning in complexity, making it hard to keep up with all the moving parts
- Working way too much and doing too much yourself despite having a team...
- Trapped in the day-to-day with far too much dependent on you... all the decisions, all the strategy, #allthethings...
- Stuck in a business model that no longer feels aligned or scalable...
You may be questioning if you'll ever be able to focus on your genius work and confidently turn everything else over to your team...
Well, you can when you partner with the Lean Out Method.

Hi, I'm Crista Grasso, Founder of Lean Out Method® and Strategic Ops Institute™, and creator of the Lean Scaling System™.
I have spent more than 2 decades helping businesses scale in simple and sustainable ways and adopt lean and agile ways of working - from the largest Fortune 50 companies in the world, to coaches, consultants, and online experts like you.
Today, I specialize in working with service-based businesses to implement a complete ecosystem for scaling success that allows the business owner to elevate their focus to thought leadership and legacy work instead of having to constantly put out fires and feel stuck in the day to day.
Pulling from my unique blend of creativity / strategy and systems / structure, I love to help Visionary CEOs and their teams to quickly cut through noise, complexity, and idea overload to identify simple and aligned solutions to achieve their big bold vision and goals.
You want to be able to say:
"I run a lean eff-ing business."
Eff-ing = efficient, of course ;)
