Advisory for Entrepreneurs — Maryville, Tennessee
Whether it's growth, strategy, or operations — if something in your business isn't working the way it should, that's where I come in.
I don't drop a report and disappear. I get into the work with you — and stay there until things move.
Figuring out where to go next and building a clear plan to get there — without overcomplicating it.
If your business is running you instead of the other way around, we fix the underlying systems so it stops.
Senior-level thinking and execution without the full-time cost. I work inside your business, not above it.
This isn't transactional. The best results come from someone who actually knows your business over time.
You're growing but the business feels like it's outgrowing you.
You know what the problem is but can't get traction on solving it.
You're spending all your time in the business and none on it.
You need a thinking partner — someone who's been in the trenches and tells it straight.
You want real results, not a deck full of recommendations nobody executes.
You're ready to do the work — you just need someone in the room with you.
Founder, ESJ Advisory
I've spent my career working inside businesses at the operator level — not advising from the outside, but building systems, leading teams, and solving the problems that actually slow companies down.
I work with entrepreneurs who want a long-term partner, not a short engagement. Someone who knows their business, asks hard questions, and holds them accountable to what they said they wanted.
The work I do best is helping owners get out of the weeds, build something that runs without them having to be everywhere, and get back to why they started in the first place.
Based in Maryville, Tennessee. Working with entrepreneurs wherever the work takes us.
No pitch, no pressure. Just a conversation to see if it makes sense to work together.
