About Allan Carraway

Alaska\'s only FocalPoint Certified Business & Executive Coach, with over a decade helping Alaska entrepreneurs. including leading the Anchorage SBDC. Along the way, that included coaching multiple SBA Small Businesses of the Year and helping entrepreneurs access over $20 million in capital.That background matters because I\'ve sat on both sides of the table. Decades building and running small businesses here in Alaska, and hundreds of conversations with owners trying to do the same. I know what it actually takes. The real thing, not just the theory.Today I work with therapy and clinic owners who want a practice that runs smoother and grows without burning them out or losing the mission. Most of the people I work with have already poured themselves into their teams and patients. Over time, though, the pressure builds, margins tighten, and everything starts to feel urgent.Here\'s what our work usually looks like:Sorting out a tough leadership or staffing decision without the second-guessingMaking schedules and systems simpler, so the day stops fighting youGetting clearer on numbers, so decisions feel calmer and more confidentBuilding a path out of firefighting and into real leadershipPeople sometimes call me the \"Mr. Rogers of business.\" I\'ll take it. I tend to stay calm when things get hectic, and I\'m a fan of practical conversations over hype.If this resonates, send me a message. Tell me what kind of practice you\'re trying to build, and what keeps getting in the way.
