About Sam Andrus
I help small businesses build structure, improve profitability, and grow without feeling overwhelmed.Most business owners are great at their craft — whether that’s construction, trades, service work, or manufacturing — but running the business side can quickly become exhausting. Pricing, hiring, marketing, finances, and day-to-day operations all pile up, and it’s easy to feel like you’re doing everything yourself.Through GTI Consulting LLC, we focus on what we call the 49% of the business — the systems and strategy that support long-term growth. We don’t just hand over a report and walk away. We work alongside business owners to create practical solutions, implement them, and make sure they actually stick.My background includes operational leadership as an Amazon Manager, experience as a former small business owner, an Executive MBA from the University of Iowa, and service in the U.S. Air Force.If your business feels harder than it should be, I’d be glad to connect.
