It's Time to Simplify How You Scale Your Business
That's Our Specialty!
BOOK A SCALABILITY ASSESSMENT WITH CRISTA TO LEARN HOWLean Out Method is a Boutique Scaling Advisory Firm
Lean Out Method helps businesses scale in simple and sustainable ways by removing unnecessary complexity through the implementation of lean strategic planning, simple systems, and a rockstar lean dream team so the day-to-day is no longer dependent on the CEO.
We are seasoned experts at defining vision-aligned business models, scalable offer suites, and lean marketing and growth systems while improving operational efficiency.
We partner with our clients through done-with-you and done-for-you solutions to simplify and scale.
We do things differently, integrating lean and agile practices to keep things adaptive, SIMPLE, and aligned with the unique needs of a scaling online business.
If you are looking for the same cookie cutter, overly prescriptive, outdated and complex approaches to operations and scaling that most other companies provide, we are definitely not for you, but...
If you are looking to scale in a way that allows you to live a Rich Fulfilled Life™ that you love while leading a high-impact and high-profit business, then welcome, you're in the right place!
Scaling through the messy middle of multi-6 to multi-7+ figures can feel like you are...
- Drowning in complexity...
- Working way too much and not fully living your rich fulfilled life...
- 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...
- The only one fully committed to profitable growth and lasting results instead of simply checking things off a list and signing out for the day
And you may be questioning if you'll ever be able to focus exclusively on your genius work and confidently leave the implementation of your big bold vision to your team...
Well, you can when you partner with the Lean Out Method!
What keeps businesses from scaling in a sustainable way are business operations that lack strategy and simplicity.
Our specialty is blending strategy with operations in a way that delivers sustainable and scalable RESULTS, without unnecessary complexity or having to:
❌ Hire a huge team with multiple levels of management (and way too much of your oversight)...
✔️ Instead, we help you build a high performing lean dream team.
❌ Spend the next 6 months creating detailed SOPs that no one will ever use (costing you time and money instead of saving it)...
✔️ Instead, we help you strategically implement lean business systems.
❌ Base your projected results on hope and hustle (with a side of disappointment when you miss your goals despite working so hard)...
✔️ Instead, we help you implement a lean strategic planning framework to confidently achieve your goals and revenue targets without overworking.
And we help you create the ecosystem that enables you to live a Rich Fulfilled Life™ in and out of your business...
Because what's the point of success if you can't actually enjoy it?!?
We do this with you inside our signature program...

TAKE THE SUSTAINABLE SCALING ASSESSMENTHi, I'm Crista Grasso, a Business Strategist, Founder of the Lean Out Method®, and creator of the Lean Business 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.
