Owner Mentors

Good decisions come from Experience. Experience comes from Bad Decisions.

Owner Mentors is a network of business consultants led by Brad Poulos. Leveraging each others’ strengths, our services help small and family businesses increase profitability and achieve greater performance.

As a business owner for most of his life, Brad has a wide variety of experience in virtually every functional area of a company.

Brad practices Radical Candor, meaning he cares enough to tell you directly the things that your staff or partners may not. Helpful honesty with oneself and others is necessary to maximize results..

Coaching starts with an honest assessment of the business and the role of the owner within it. This will include some basic personality assessments, a review of the financial and operational health of the company, and if the budget allows, a 360 degree review. It may or may not be focused on a specific problem.
