“I kept trying to fix one area at a time — sales, marketing, cash — but I was struggling. I didn’t know which levers to pull. Only when I had a Sidekick did I get the right levers to move the business forward.”
Sidekick Client, $18M Company

We now know what it takes to build good financials, a go to market strategy and the right outlook to bring our business forward in the right distribution channels. The coaching is on point and as helps us stay focused on the processes and priorities that get us there.

Clair Norman

Co-Founder | Solo Spouse

As we grew, we developed an organization that was not set up to serve our markets effectively. Our Sidekick set the operational structure we needed across management, sales, marketing and finance that has served us well as we grow. And it has taught me many of the skills I need as CEO of a $100M company.

Marco D.

Founder & CEO | Royalpark

TLE’s Sidekick is exactly what CEOs of growing companies need. Their guidance was essential to preparing us for the large fundraise we completed (100M) and set us up for the success we achieved from that point forward.

Jordan F.

CEO | Rightway Health

The business and legal guidance we got from TLE helped us accomplish some key objectives.  We were able to change our mindsets as leaders, rework a complex partnership and evaluate the ROI of various business decisions. Their counsel has been invaluable in our journey.

Maya K.

Founder & CEO | Wholesome Yum

The journey to Shark Tank and landing a deal with Marc Cuban was a long one. And the team at TLE contributed to my growth as a leader and helped me understand what it takes to turn your passion into real economic success.

Ashley J.

Founder | Tones of Melanin

Working with TLE gave us a different perspective on what goals to set and how to achieve them, helping us to a 60% increase in sales in our first year. TLE has been instrumental in helping to create a new culture, expect higher standards, and streamline our processes for long-term success.

Dave F.

CEO | Fisher Shipping

The Lonely Entrepreneur provided invaluable guidance to the founder, the advisory board and various other advisors to align the financing plan to the go to market strategy. And along the way was teaching the founder to be a CEO.

Kim P.

CFO | Multiple Companies

I’d been struggling raising money. I was about to send out my investment materials when I learned of TLE. The difference between my approach and the approach TLE brought me was clearly the difference in the success of our fundraising efforts.

Angelo V.

Founder & CEO | Vuew

 The strategic decisions that TLE helped me make had a dramatic impact on our business. Their guidance helped us create a clear “playground” where we could beat the competition and saved us probably over $1 million and 12 to 18 months by guiding us to the right technology path. It’s hard to imagine we would be where we are today without TLE.

Kelly B.

Co-Founder | Kelly B.Co-Founder | Solospouse

I wanted to grow my social media. What I learned from The Learning Community and TLE led me to create a post for my golf tv show Saturday Foursome that got over 350K views.
