Your journey with GEARWorks
Step 1 / Every founder starts here
This is the start of your journey as a founder with GEARWorks. Your Economic Blueprint shows you specifically where revenue is leaking in your business — and where profit can be captured.
You leave knowing where the opportunity is. Not a guess. A clear picture of what’s available to capture.
Step 2 / From insight to action
Now you can see the leaks and the profit. The question becomes: what do you actually act on?
What will help you capture that profit and stop the revenue leaks? That’s where the 90 Day Accelerator comes in. We help you choose — then run GEAR OS alongside you.
GEAR OS / Included in the 90 Day Accelerator
The outcomes that GEAR OS delivers in a founder’s voice:
“GEAR OS helped me stop reacting and finally focus on the work that actually grows the business.”
“GEAR OS helped us move from a company operating on everything in my head to a team that’s aligned and a plan everyone is excited to follow.”
“GEAR OS helped me transition from management to leadership.”
“We’ve now got clarity, structure, and an Economic Blueprint that lets us scale without getting stuck in the day-to-day.”
We run it with you
Most programs show you the problem and then leave you to figure out how to run it on your own. We run the system with you, period.
In a two-day intensive with your team, we set quarterly goals based on what the Economic Blueprint exposed about revenue leaks and profit to capture. We set up GEAR OS, help get full team buy-in, and run it alongside you for 90 days.
Growth. Execution. Accountability. Rhythm.
You could run it from a bunch of spreadsheets. We’ve built it out in Notion instead, so you can engage your team and run GEAR OS in one place.
GEAR OS is provided as part of the 90 Day Accelerator.

Founders / GEARWorksBetween us, we’re 21-time founders — with 8 exits and 13 failures. The failures are where we learned.
Those lessons became GEAR OS and the 90 Day Accelerator. It’s the system we run with you — not more work we leave on your plate.
This is our own track record as founders — not a claim about GEARWorks client results.

Work with us
Most founders think their problems can be solved by one of two levers: dumping more capital into the business, or hiring more people. They never do...
Capital is simply an accelerator. It accelerates both the good and the bad things about the business. It doesn’t fix a bottleneck — it makes you hit it faster.
People are the most valuable part of the business. But without a unified operating system, they often don’t fix what founders think they will. You hire good people — and they still need your input too much. You think you’re hiring relief from the bottleneck slowing your growth. What you really get are the same bottlenecks at a higher cost.
With GEAR OS, you drop good people in and they can do their best work. They make decisions without the founder. The business scales faster, the culture gets better, and less input is needed from you.
The Economic Blueprint puts a number on the decisions you’re weighing. In the 90 Day Accelerator, we run GEAR OS with you until your team can.
We work with five teams at a time. We’ll read it ourselves.
