Ready to get out of the day-to-day operations of your business?
You've got magical shit to do...
Lives to change...
Legacies to leave...
And a rich fulfilled life to live...
You can't do that when you're stuck putting out fires, working all the damn time, and feeling exhausted from having way too much dependent on YOU!
Hey Visionary...
What if every decision didn't require your input?
What if projects got done (well!) without you having to tell everyone what to do or constantly check in on progress?
What if you weren't the only one fully committed to generating profit and lasting results instead of just simply checking things off a list and signing out for the day?
How would it feel if you could focus exclusively on your genius work and confidently leave the implementation of your big bold vision to your team?
If attempting to scale your business feels like a rinse & repeat of spinning your wheels, I have good news...
When you stop doing all the work of scaling yourself, expansive growth happens.
It's what flips the switch between spending your time on legacy work vs. busy work and feeling fulfilled vs. drained.
It IS possible to scale your business without having to work 24x7 and carry the weight of your business alone.
You can say goodbye to having all the decision-making, problem-solving, cat-herding, fire-fighting, and leadership of all-the-people and all-the-things continuously falling back onto your plate...
You just have to transform your right-hand person into a SOL™.
Let us take care of that for you inside Simplify to Scale!
I'M SO READY, TURN MY RIGHT-HAND INTO A ROCKSTAR
SOLs are the missing link between your vision & results.
And no, they are not an OBM, PM, DOO, Chief of Staff, Integrator, COO or CMO.
(Whew, so many titles!)
Each of these roles leave a major gap which has to be filled by you.
A SOL is exactly what is needed so you can leave behind working 24x7, and focus on scaling through the messy middle of $500k - $5m.
And, here's the thing: great SOLs are made not hired.
You probably already have someone within your team capable of becoming your SOL (Strategy & Operations Leader™).
They just need training and mentorship in order to thrive and take their role and your business to the next level.
OBMs, DOOs, Operations Leads, Project Managers - whatever you call the role - are typically great at implementation, systemization, and managing all the moving pieces of your business.
But it is a rare and hard to find operations person who can think like a Founder and strategically implement on your vision as if it was their own.
However, when you have this person it makes all the difference...
Imagine having a right-hand who feels like a partner in scaling your business & bringing your vision to life.
That's exactly what you get inside:
Simplify to Scale is a 9-month mentorship, training, and advisory program for Visionary CEOs & their (soon to be) SOLs.
We do the work of teaching your right-hand person how to scale your business for you leveraging our proprietary Lean Business Scaling System.
We'll elevate your Lead from Operations to Strategy and Operations, enabling them to strategize, co-create, lead implementation, and deliver results.
Simplify to Scale is designed specifically for online coaching, consulting, and service-based businesses.
Our unique model leverages lean & agile principles for amplified results and strategic operational excellence.
Simple and sustainable scaling requires the 9 engines of the Lean Business Scaling System to be in sync.
The good news is that you don't need to focus on all of them at once...
You only need to close the gaps in ONE major area at a time to see significant results: growth, optimization, or sustainability.
Most Scaling Businesses Find Themselves in One of Three Places...
You are working way too much with too much dependent on you and are ready to move into a season of sustainability
You are in a season of growth and your top priority is attracting and retaining high-quality clients with high-value and high-profit offers
You are in a season of optimization and want to amplify results while reducing complexity and improving operational excellence
That's why we kick things off with an assessment to help your SOL™ understand where your business should be focused next to create the most leverage.
We re-assess every 90 days so you have visibility into how things are improving.
“Crista and her team provide a learning environment that truly sets you up to succeed. Having calls to expand on a specific topic, with resources and templates provided for each, lead to systematic, real-time progress within our business.
The hiring section saved us countless hours of work and re-work.
I also liked how you knew enough about each person's business to inject comments specific to them and their business during the trainings. It made it more tangible and created a more personalized experience for each of us.
I can't recommend this program enough! Thank you!”
Hi, I'm Crista Grasso.
I have spent the past 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.
Known as the "Business Optimizer", I have the ability to quickly cut through the noise and focus on optimizing the core things that will make the biggest impact to grow and scale a business.
A unique blend of 50% right-brain and 50% left-brain which allows me to see simple solutions and structures in creative ways that align with what a Visionary CEO of a small business needs.
I don't believe you need rigid or complex solutions to achieve results. You want to scale in simple, adaptable, and sustainable ways, which is both my superpower and my passion.
That's why I've created the only mentorship experience of its kind, with support in two tracks:
1. The Strategy & Ops Track: Mentorship and support for your right-hand person (or people)
2. The Visionary Track: Private 1:1 strategic advisory for you
HERE'S WHAT'S INCLUDED
STRATEGY & OPS TRACK
VISIONARY TRACK
Have a Triad Team with Leads for Both Marketing and Ops?
Add a 2nd Team Member for +$500/mo.
In addition to full access to everything in the Strategy & Ops track, your Marketing Lead gets a Private Monthly Accountability & Strategy Call with Annie P. Ruggles, a marketing and sales expert and Lean Out Method's CMO
Which Tier Is Right for You and Your Team?
Love the idea of investing in training and certification for your right-hand person but don't have the space to dedicate to a program yourself right now?
We offer 3 tiers of support with tier 1 being exclusively for your right hand person!
WHAT MAKES S2S DIFFERENT
Simplify to Scale is exclusively for internal employees and dedicated contractors of YOUR business... it is not for those looking to start their own business or sell their services to new clients.
Other programs teach people how to build their own business as a fractional or freelance operations manager, director, or leader - um, no thanks!
We teach your SOL how to support your business success, not their own.
But that's not the only thing that makes us different...
Instead of just focusing on 'what to do' and 'how to do it' as an operations leader...
-
We teach your SOL how to lead and think like a Founder, see how everything interconnects to drive results, and develop simple and strategic solutions
-
We teach them how to take inspired ownership and actually BE your trusted right-hand person and co-creator instead of just the person you delegate to to make sure shit gets done... and there is a BIG difference between the 2
Instead of heavy, complex, and outdated approaches to scaling and operations...
-
We equip your SOL with a proven ecosystem for scaling success that blends the front end and back end of the business for a holistic and highly effective solution
-
We leverage lean and agile principles to keep things simple and adaptive
-
Our entire framework is designed specifically for online coaching, consulting, service-based, and expert-based businesses scaling through the messy middle of $500k - $5m
Finally, as a team of successful serial entrepreneurs ourselves who are experts in business growth, business agility, and operational efficiency...
-
We've created and teach your SOL the only scaling system of its kind to fit a dynamic small business where things are ever changing and new ideas and opportunities are ever flowing
We get you, we are you, we know what your business needs and what your SOL needs to be successful in their role.

What Results You Can Experience with Simplify to Scale
The goal is for your SOL™ to consistently generate results like these for you...
"I own a design business and we were stuck. We knew that there was a lot of growth ahead of us but we were having trouble getting there. One of the things I liked the most about Crista’s program is that in order to scale I knew I needed something, but I didn’t know what it was. I knew I needed to know how to scale, and some of that were things that she knew about that I had no clue about.
If you want to save time, grow your team, build systems that work, and continue to work at a bigger level, that’s what you are going to get from her program and I can not recommend it enough. Crista’s program is phenomenal and amazing for that.
It has already saved us more than 10 hours a week, which is huge. That’s a day's worth of work so that I can focus on the things that I need to as the CEO of my company."
