Adi Klevit

Iā€™m the founder and CEO of Business Success Consulting Group. When I first started, my goal was to help businesses grow and thrive by offering general business services. However, I quickly found a niche that entrepreneurs needed the most help withā€”documenting and optimizing their processes and procedures. I also help ensure those processes are followed by everyone in the organization.

I discovered that many entrepreneurs either donā€™t know how to document their processes or donā€™t have the time. Thatā€™s where I come in. My focus is on helping business owners achieve freedom by allowing them to concentrate on what theyā€™re passionate about in their business. Over time, weā€™ve grown into a dedicated team of professionals that include consultants, technical writers, marketers, and administrative support, all working together to bring order and organization to our clientsā€™ companies.

Evan Kuterbach

Iā€™ve spent over a decade working across industriesā€”data, martech, SaaS, sports, e-commerce, and beyondā€”creating sales and marketing strategies for everyone from Oracle Data Cloud to ambitious startups. 

But in early 2023, burnout pushed me to rethink my path.

That led to something unexpected: founding Gibson Voicebox, my copywriting business. I realized Iā€™d been building this skill all along, blending strategy and storytelling to help brands not only stand out but create genuine, lasting connections with their audiences.

Today, Iā€™m also co-founder of Canyon Pickleball, where weā€™re combining a love of the outdoors with community and sustainability. Each paddle we sell supports the National Park Foundation and inspires people to get outside and explore. Itā€™s all about connecting people to something bigger than themselves.

I spent the next fifteen years chasing titles, promotions and accolades. On the surface, everything looked perfect, but deep down, something was missing.

 

After creating Operations School, the side hustle that would change my life, I eventually quit corporate for good, cashed in my savings (I had $.72 left in my account) and created an ecosystem of businesses, all created to help entrepreneurs thrive.

Richard Walsh

After 20 years in business and at the top of my game '08/09 hit and I lost everything, including our home. At this same time I had a wife and six children under the age of four. As a Marine, champion boxer and black belt I'm not a fan of losing, so I had to do the hard work of determining why I failed so catastrophically. I connected all the dots (and there were a lot of them) and started to rebuild and regain success. At this same time other entrepreneurs were watching and asking me how I did it. Next thing you know I'm helping them create their business to not only withstand hardship but begin to thrive and create a life with balance in the five most important areas of life - Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness and Friendships. I even wrote a best selling book called Escape the Owner Prison where I detailed my story and how they can escape themselves.

After spending 25 years as a TV broadcaster, I made the leap in 2017 to follow my passion for helping entrepreneurs (just like you!) build profitable, sustainable businesses. 

My sweet spot? Using digital toolsā€”like video, podcasting, and AIā€”paired with high-trust relationships to fuel your growth.

Iā€™m here to help you avoid the overwhelm, cut out the guesswork, and stay focused on what actually moves the needle in your business. Together, weā€™ll get you to your next milestone with a plan that feels right for youā€”without all the stress and uncertainty.

While I run my own consultancy, I'm also the co-founder of ICONMAKERĀ® Joint Venture, where I guide entrepreneurs in leveraging podcasting and strategic partnerships to scale their businesses.
