Small Business Operations Consultant & Fractional COO
Growth should not require more of YOU.
Systems and strategy for six-figure founders who are still in the day-to-day and ready to step out of it.
Because your business shouldn’t come at the cost of your brain, your boundaries, or your bandwidth.
You didn’t build your business to stay in the weeds
Your business is growing, but it still depends on you for everything.
Decisions bottleneck with you. Your team waits on you. Progress slows the moment you step away.
This is not a time problem. It’s a structure problem.
A small business operations consultant focuses on how your business actually runs, from decision-making and delegation to systems and team structure.
Instead of doing more, you build the structure that allows you to step out of execution without slowing growth. This is the shift from managing everything to leading your business.
And this is exactly where the right kind of support makes the difference.
HI, I’M DONNA
Certified Director of Operations, supporting small business owners in building systems, structure, and scalable operations
I work with founders who have built real businesses, but are tired of everything running through them.
Who want clarity over chaos.
Structure over constant decisions.
And growth that gives them space to think.
I help you step out of reaction mode, untangle what’s actually creating the bottleneck, and build systems that hold.
If you want a business that supports you instead of draining you, you’re in the right place.
No system, team, or automation can make up for a lack of focus.
Step Out of the Day-to-Day and Into Your CEO Role
You don’t need more time. You need a business that doesn’t depend on you for everything.
This is where we identify what’s actually creating the bottleneck in your business and map out a clear path forward.
So you know exactly what to stop doing, what to delegate, and what actually moves the business forward.
In a Strategic Business Reset Session, we look at how your business is currently running, where things are breaking down, and what needs to change so you can lead at a higher level.
You leave with a focused plan and clear next steps, not more ideas to manage so you know exactly what to change first.
This is the kind of change we work toward:
- 60% fewer daily fires
- 40% fewer CEO decisions each week
- 30+ days fully disconnected from the business

You don’t need to do more.
You need a business that works without you in the middle of everything.
Growth does not come from adding another tool, another team member, or another task list. It comes from stepping into the CEO role and designing your business to support it.
You don’t need more hustle.
You need structure, clarity, and a strategic partner who sees the bigger picture.
This is what that shift looks like in real businesses:
Step Out of the Day-to-Day Lead at a Higher Level
Every successful business has someone making sure strategic vision isn’t just talked about, it’s actually executed.
Calm strategy for founders who are done operating and ready to lead.
“I highly recommend working with Donna. Her fresh set of eyes on my business found gaps, opportunities for growth, and support for our day to day business. Our team was very comfortable and confident with her taking the reins as I moved into a truly CEO role! Thank you for your support and insight Donna 🤩.”

What This Looks Like in Real Businesses
“Donna made my life so much easier! I realized from the start that I had a true partner to brainstorm with, not just someone who did the basics. I appreciated her suggestions and professionalism, and would recommend working with her.”
Michelle Zavala, Easy Aging
“Having a clear, actionable plan that I can check in on while implementing was incredible to help build my confidence. I really knew the steps to achieve my goals because it was based on the numbers, not on my hope of vision. Knowing that, the action steps became clear.”
Cate Donald, Course Design Strategist
“Not only is it her skill, expertise, professionalism, and all of those things that I can say about a service provider, it’s really also about her client experience and how she treats you as a human being. It’s about her values and what she stands for and how she steps into your business as a partner, to understand you and know exactly what you’re looking for.”
Alicia Lozano, Zero to Anything
If this is the kind of shift you’re ready for, the Strategic Business Reset Session is where we start.
