Business Owner
Optimization
It all starts and ends with you.
I help you identify the things in your business and personal life that you don't need to be doing, and get you focused on the things that drive revenue, getting you less "busy".
Busy work is killing you, wasting time and energy that could be better spent elsewhere.
Work on What Actually Matters
This is disruptive because small buisinesses need money, its like blood in a body. Most owners take too much, give too little and blame everyone and everything about why they are failing.
The problem is you.
My methodolgy forces you to examine your personal and business life to optimize your time and train you where you need help.
It helps that I have vast hands on knowledge in several sectors, using that experience, to help get you focused on the 20% of things that impact your bottom line and your personal welbeing.
The Pareto Principle: Focus on what pays
Meet the Disrupter, Erik Bos
I've built my career identifying and capitalizing on market inefficiencies across multiple industries since the late 1990s. Beginning with brokering pharmaceutical ingredients to US manufacturers, I progressed to transforming a Western Canadian chemical company into its most profitable iteration.
My entrepreneurial path led me through successful ventures in web design and IT services before transitioning to private equity, where I achieved 4x returns through operational improvements in chemical and automotive portfolio companies. Subsequently, I led two public mining company turnarounds, raising over $12M in capital, and founded a real estate-focused private equity firm.
Recently, I've applied my expertise to healthcare, successfully revitalizing an underperforming dental practice before establishing two Canadian virtual clinics centered on preventative care.
Though Disruptive Advice isn't my primary focus, I selectively take on engaging projects that maintain my edge and provide the satisfaction of meaningful transformation. There's immense value in bringing 25+ years of diverse experience and fresh perspective to business challenges.
How I Help Your Business
I examine your business fundamentals including financial structure, spending patterns, and marketing effectiveness. Many struggling businesses unconsciously waste money in critical areas. I identify these leaks, prioritize essential expenses, and create a sustainable marketing budget that actually generates returns.
Most business owners spend too much time on the wrong tasks. I track where your hours actually go, then help you eliminate, fix, or delegate those responsibilities. Sometimes this means targeted training in accounting, management, or technology. By focusing your attention on genuinely high-value activities, you'll accomplish more while working less. Remember: your time is your most valuable resource.
I analyze your competition to establish realistic benchmarks for your business. By mapping your customer journey and gathering feedback from both staff and customers, I see your business from every angle. This comprehensive view allows me to create a practical strategy that prioritizes activities with the highest potential return, while eliminating distractions that drain your resources.
Clear documentation transforms chaos into order. I help create straightforward responsibility frameworks, checklists, and procedures that make everyday operations predictable. This clarity makes delegation and outsourcing possible, freeing you from handling every detail personally.
I start by organizing 1-3 years of your financial data to reveal clear patterns. This analysis, combined with targeted market research, identifies your most profitable paths forward. Sometimes what seems logical isn't supported by the evidence. I help you focus on what truly works - avoiding the common mistakes of trying to do too much or diluting your core offerings. The result? A practical, documented growth plan that evolves with your business. This roadmap concentrates your resources on your most profitable segments and genuine market opportunities, preventing the costly pitfalls of unfocused expansion.
I help you build a business that doesn't require your constant supervision by implementing practical, streamlined systems across your operation. First, we identify where time and resources are being wasted - spotting bottlenecks, redundant tasks, and manual processes that could be simplified or automated. This might include customer service workflows, inventory management, employee onboarding, or administrative procedures. Next, we develop clear, documented processes that your team can follow consistently, reducing errors and training time. These systems are designed specifically for your business needs - not complex corporate procedures that slow you down. The result? Lower operating costs, improved productivity, and more predictable quality. Most importantly, you'll gain freedom from day-to-day firefighting, allowing you to focus on strategic growth or simply enjoy more time away from your business.
