For business owners with kids still at home

Grow your business and be fully present at home.

Coaching for business owners who want to grow their business while staying fully present with their families.

Work is liquid, and it fills whatever space we give it.

For many of us, work finds its way into our evenings and weekends, and even after the laptop closes, the business keeps running in our heads from dinner through bedtime. And our families can feel the difference.

This usually shows up in three familiar frustrations:

Competing Demands

Too many things have become a priority, and they all seem to need you at the same time.

Scattered Attention

Your time, energy and focus are constantly toggling between what is urgent and what is important.

Sporadic Results

You've had wins in different areas of life, but they come and go and are hard to sustain.

I've been there.

I almost lost my family while building something good.

In the early years of pastoral ministry, I poured everything I had into the work I was doing. By most measurable standards I was performing well at work, all the while I was neglecting my role as a husband and father.

Then my wife Heidi said five words that changed everything:
"I can't do this anymore."

That moment forced me to rethink how I was stewarding my time, energy, and responsibilities across my whole life, and that journey eventually became SMPL.

I cannot fully express how much SMPL has helped me in my daily life. I’m one of those who strive at work and struggle to turn that off to be fully present at home. Every time I open my app, I’m given easy-to-implement ideas to help with that struggle. Over time, it has reshaped my approach and attitude, helping me be the best mom and wife I can be. Thanks, John!

I’ve always had quarterly goals and financial targets, but now I see the deeper purpose behind them and the right pace to pursue them in a way that supports my whole life.

Before SMPL, I was struggling to keep all of my hustles, hobbies, and relationships afloat and was slowly failing at each. SMPL has helped me identify my short and long-term goals while implementing tools and practices to succeed in my marriage and my multiple side hustles. I’ve learned how to prioritize new opportunities without sacrificing my personal time and relationships, and to see the path to success more clearly than before.

I was completely overwhelmed in a new and demanding job. John helped me identify my most important daily tasks and showed me how to develop a schedule that protects my ability to accomplish them free from distraction. It’s been a game-changer!

FAQS

Have a question?

Here are some common ones:
SMPL is built to give you time back, and it starts with one project a week rather than a pile of new commitments. Most of the first step is recognizing what deserves your attention, which tends to free up hours on its own.
Most of those hand you a method and leave you to keep it going on willpower alone. SMPL provides you with real accountability alongside our unique approach, so the decisions you make become your lifestyle.
Both, because you are a whole person. The Margin Reset starts with your priorities across your whole life, then works out to how you lead, plan, and spend your week as the leader you are, both at work and at home.
You work through six projects, roughly one a week. The first two get your priorities anchored, the next two turn that into a vision and a set of goals, and the last two build the rhythms and routines that keep it going after the program ends.
If you fully engage the first two weeks, complete the first two projects and attend the live calls included with your path, and you don't feel noticeably clearer and more aligned, I'll buy back your seat in full.
The steps in SMPL are the same for everyone, but how you apply the steps will adjust to your unique life. People in very different industries and life stages end up applying the same three steps to very different roles. If you're concerned about how these principles can apply to your unique situation as a business owner or leader, 1:1 is likely the best path for you.
The group works well if you like momentum from other people doing the same work at the same time. Choose 1:1 if you want the framework shaped around your specific role and want John in the details with you. If you're unsure, send me a message, and we'll talk it through.
