A second set of eyes for your business

MikeStevens.help

When you are operating inside the business every day, it becomes difficult to see what is driving results and what is quietly draining time, margin, and focus. I help you step back, identify the true constraint, and leave with a prioritized plan you can execute with confidence.

Approach

Clear, calm, and execution-focused.

My process is straightforward:

  • Clarify the situation quickly and objectively
  • Define the next step with precision
  • Eliminate unnecessary complexity and wasted motion
  • Build practical plans designed for implementation

The result is simple: less friction, better decisions, and faster execution.

What I do

Practical consulting that turns uncertainty into action.

I help in the messy middle, where most businesses stall:

  • too many initiatives competing for attention
  • priorities that are unclear or frequently shifting
  • processes that grew without structure
  • digital experiences that function but do not convert
  • modernization efforts that feel high-risk
  • key decisions that should not be made in isolation

What we aim for:

  • clarity on what matters now
  • improvements that compound over time
  • a simpler, more reliable operating model

What you get

A prioritized action plan

Not a generic report. A practical, prioritized plan you can execute:

  • Now: highest-impact actions to execute immediately
  • Next: foundational improvements to schedule
  • Later: worthwhile ideas that are not current priorities

Bottleneck diagnosis

We identify the true constraint and concentrate effort there instead of dispersing resources across low-value fixes.

Notes you can reuse

Clear documentation you can hand directly to a contractor, team member, or your future self.

Engagement areas

Industry-agnostic support across strategy, operations, and growth.

Offers and messaging

  • Positioning: what you do, for whom, and why it matters
  • Pricing clarity and stronger value communication
  • Landing pages that answer critical questions quickly

Customer experience and conversion

  • Where prospects hesitate, disengage, or get confused
  • Trust signals and clarity improvements
  • Stronger calls to action and cleaner next-step paths

Operations and process

  • Workflow simplification and process cleanup
  • Checklists and practical SOPs
  • Tooling and automation recommendations that stay lightweight

Strategy and prioritization

  • Roadmaps and decision support
  • What to stop doing
  • Simplify before scaling

Digital + AI (when it makes sense)

  • AI use cases that reduce low-value work
  • Clear build-vs-buy decision support
  • Practical implementation next steps

Who this is for

This is a strong fit if you are thinking:

  • I need an objective expert to pressure-test my plan.
  • I am too close to this to diagnose the problem clearly.
  • We are busy, but operationally inefficient.
  • I need a cleaner, more scalable way to run the business.
  • I need the right sequence of priorities.

No niche is required. Operational patterns repeat across industries.

How it works

1) Quick intake (5 minutes)

You send:

  • what your business does
  • what you want to improve
  • links, screenshots, or context (optional)

2) The session (60-90 minutes)

We:

  • identify the core bottleneck
  • separate quick wins from foundational work
  • select the next steps with highest leverage

3) You leave with a plan

You get:

  • a clear Now/Next/Later action plan
  • concise notes and recommendations
  • optional follow-up support for accountability
