Purpose of Modern Operators

Welcome to the very first edition of the Modern Operators Newsletter — we're thrilled you're here.

We wanted to kick things off by sharing a little about why Modern Operators exists, why now, and how we hope to serve founders like you.

🚀 Why We Started Modern Operators

For a long time — in many of my early businesses — growth felt a lot like running harder on a treadmill.

Sometimes, we actually worked hard for the sake of working hard.

But without a clear, bold target, we never truly got to where we wanted to go.

Other times, we'd set a big goal... but somewhere along the way, we'd lose focus.

Daily chaos would creep in, and the vision would fade into the background.

In both cases — no matter how much effort we threw at it — big sustainable growth remained out of reach.

When I recently stepped into a company that had been struggling to grow, I saw the same pattern again:

The team was working hard. But they kept doing the same things over and over, expecting different results.

The first thing we did was step back and build a blueprint:

Why does this company exist? What are we building and why? Where do we want to be?

When we finally set a bold new revenue goal, the team’s immediate reaction was:

"How is that even possible?!"

It was a reminder of something critical:

Small results happen as a result of “EITHER/OR” thinking. Big results are unlocked through “AND”.

First comes the Target — the clear, audacious Vision.

Then comes the Focus — the ground-level execution that moves you toward it, one focused step at a time.

However, unlocking rapid and sustainable growth demands that we actually cycle between the two..

We call this Rhythm — a deliberate movement between thinking big and focusing small.

It's not enough just to hustle harder.

It's not enough just to dream bigger.

It’s the balance — the consistent movement between vision and execution — that creates rapid, sustainable growth.

We'll be diving deeper into this idea — what we call rhythm cycles — more in an upcoming newsletter.

But for today, just remember:

The companies that thrive aren't the ones that work the hardest. They're the ones that think clearly, act decisively, and move intentionally between big picture and ground game.

That's what Modern Operators is here to help you do.

🛠️ What Is Modern Operators?

Modern Operators is the system we wish we had.

It's a modern approach designed for business owners and founders who are ready to grow faster, smarter, and more predictably.

Think of it as:

Proven strategies & systems that small to medium size teams can implement
Templates and workflows that create staff alignment and help you scale easier
Tools and insights that speed up decision-making (without adding complexity)
Growth without losing the soul of the company you’ve worked so hard to build

Built inside Notion, powered by automation, shaped by real-world experience — Modern Operators is about putting founders back in control of their growth.

⏳ Why Now?

Business is changing faster than ever.

AI, remote teams, economic uncertainty — founders today need modern systems to survive and thrive.

The "old ways" of scaling — more meetings, more effort, longer days — just don't cut it anymore.

You need clarity, alignment, and leverage.

We believe modern business owners deserve systems and frameworks to get them to their goals faster — without burning out or losing themselves along the way.

👥 Who We Help

We work with founder-led businesses who are:

Doing $1M–$10M+ in revenue and wanting to grow to $30M, $50M or $100M+.
Feeling stuck, stretched thin, or unsure how to scale sustainably.
Ready to implement systems that create freedom, scale, and leverage — without losing the founder's heart of the business.

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
