About Jody Gouge

Business owners tend to be even more anxious than their employees. It makes sense if you consider that they need to deal with all the aspects of their ventures: client satisfaction, sales, quality control, marketing, the well being of their staff… and so on.When you need to oversee everything, it’s hard to prioritize. Everything is urgent and most of the time, not much gets done and the problems tend to pile up.It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about the future, and to feel frustrated for working IN the business rather than ON the business.And that’s where I step in with The B.O.S.S.(Business Owner Success System), a program I’ve developed over 20 years of experience helping entrepreneurs get clarity and build an environment of respect and security, finding purpose to guide their efforts.This brings peace of mind and quality of life to you and your team members. It makes the struggle worthwhile, maximizing both your business and your personal potential. “I’ve worked with Jody for more than 10 years and can absolutely say they made a big difference in my business success. They’ve helped me develop strategies and implement plans that have grown my business at least 5 fold. I can confidently say I’ve received more than a 10:1 return on my investment.” Ed “I hired Jody to help me with ideas to grow my revenue. 2 years later we’ve done a complete rebrand in all stores, developed a new pricing strategy, added a new product line, and implemented an in-store selling program. I rehired him to develop an online marketing strategy to drive customer count. So far we’re seeing significant social engagement, great brand loyalty, and an overall new level of enthusiasm. Bottom line: Jody helped with strategy, tactics and implementation that are delivering solid results!” Kristin“Jody has helped us increase our revenue, more than double our profits, which has ultimately increased the value of my business. We have clarity, purpose, and a roadmap to success – and that helps me sleep better at night!” Bob“I’ve been working with Jody Gouge more than 7 years. Starting with 1 attorney and 4 staff members, we’ve grown to 5 attorneys, and 11 support staff. My personal income has increased significantly, and I feel like we have a solid game plan. Jody taught me how to think like a CEO instead of like a lawyer. I was frustrated and overwhelmed with managing people and processes in my business. I do not have to worry about that anymore since Jody helped us install systems to do the work.” David Book a call: https://calendly.com/jody-28
