STILLNESS MEETS STRATEGY
Why It Feels Heavy
You’re moving, but not in your rhythm.
Clarity gets buried under noise and misaligned routines.
Time Drain. Tool Overload. Reactive Calendar.
Your energy has a cost. Misalignment makes you pay it.

OUR APPROACH TO 10X RESULTS
Scale from Source™
.
1 | Deepen Connection with Pure Source
Many founders and executives unknowingly succumb to the outside-in trap. Elon Musk expresses a similar sentiment: One of the biggest traps for smart engineers is optimizing something that shouldn't exist.I was once building a business on the outside so it may fill something in the inside. The "I'll get to feel X, Y, Z," only after we've surpassed A, B, C in revenue, exit multiple, [fill in the blank with your favorite criteria]."In short, the business is not your true vision.Building something other than your deepest vision causes self-sabotage. Not an effective source to 10X your business.
...
And in the rare case of the entrepreneur that checks the boxes and overcomes the self-sabotage, burnout looms from building a bed they no longer want to make.Here I work with the Executive-Founder 1:1 and we make sure you are not using your business as an escape but rather a place to share your deepest gifts from a place of overflow.

2 | Define THE ONE (& only) 10X GOAL
Here we take time define THE ONE GOAL that when 10Xd, makes everything else secondary.This goal will be simple because scaling simple to 10x is 100x easier than scaling complex by 1x. However, arriving at simple and staying simple is the challenge.I'll leave you with this quote:
"Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But...once you get there, you can move mountains."
— Steve Jobs

3 | Build a Gamified & Scalable Notion OS
And finally, to make sure we don't drift into complexity, we will build a custom Notion workspace for your ONE & ONLY 10X Goal.Our management and Notion-building expertise will keep you and your team focused and in momentum.

PROOF IN PRACTICE
From Scattered to Streamlined
JLopez Service Corp is one of the fastest-growing HVAC companies in its region—expanding fast, but with growing pains.When CEO Jorge Lopez came to us, the business was running on memory and momentum. He was holding 10+ roles. The team was capable but overwhelmed. Operations couldn’t scale because everything depended on Jorge’s presence and recall.
“Every day I had to repeat the same instructions.
If I forgot, the whole operation stalled.”
— Jorge Lopez, CEO
What We Did
In a focused 4-week sprint, we built an operating system designed around how Jorge actually works—making him less essential, not more.✓ Rebuilt the org chart based on real-world roles
✓ Designed and implemented a custom ERP inside Notion
✓ Transformed communication into repeatable rituals
✓ Integrated key tools: ServiceFusion, Clockify, QuickBooks, Google Workspace
✓ Created a single source of truth—where the whole team could see, act, and move
In Just 30 Days:
● 80% reduction in internal back-and-forth
● Client onboarding that runs itself
● Real-time clarity on every project and deliverable
● 6+ hours saved per team member each week
● Guilt-free leadership—built on trust and systems
The Long-Term Shift
This isn’t a dashboard. It’s a second brain for the business.● No more bottlenecks
● New hires onboard in weeks, not months
● Jorge leads—not by holding it all—but by releasing it into systems
● Revenue now scales with structure, not stress
“I couldn't now, after seeing how this has become a secondary brain to the operation… I wouldn’t see it as an integration—it needs to be, it must be something that the company has so that it operates one day when I'm not here.”
– Jorge Lopez, CEO

Structure isn’t just calming,
it’s cost-saving.
The ROI of a Personal OS
If you’re an executive earning around $10K/month, chances are you're spending more time than you realize on low-leverage admin work, not because you’re inefficient, but because your systems aren’t yet doing the heavy lifting for you.Here's a simple breakdown of where your time may be going, and what it could look like after installing a best-practice Notion Workspace:
| Task | Before (hrs/week) | After (hrs/week) | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Searching for info | 2.5 | 1.2 | 1.3 |
| Managing projects | 3.5 | 1.7 | 1.8 |
| Meetings | 1.0 | 0.5 | 0.5 |
| Total | 7.0 | 3.4 | 3.6 |
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Hours Reclaimed / Year | 182 Hrs |
| Workdays Recovered | 22.8 Days |
| Estimated Annual Value | $11,375 |
That’s over 180 hours a year, nearly a full month of workdays recovered, without hiring anyone, adding more tools, or burning yourself out.This isn’t just about saving time.
It’s about reclaiming the space to lead, create, and live with clarity.

AN OPEN LETTER
Dear Visionary,You’ve built something rare.You’ve fought through fog, failure, and fatigue to get here—where others only see your momentum, I know the pressure behind it.
The late nights.
The silent stress.
The unspoken weight of being the one who carries the vision and the burden.And I know this: you didn’t come this far to become a manager of tasks, a firefighter of problems, or a prisoner of your own ambition.You came to build something meaningful. To lead with depth. To scale from Source—with systems that honor your values, your rhythm, your team.That’s where I come in.My name is Carlos. I help founders and executives like you build operating systems that are as alive as your vision—systems that don’t just manage work, but move it forward without you having to hold every thread.I spent the first 20 years chasing the gold standard:
Immigrant from Cuba.
Took 14 college credit classes in high school.
A Bachelors' from Goizueta Business School.
Wall Street. RBC’s Communications Media, & Entertainment team.
Success by all external metrics.Then I burned out.
So I walked away—and built a publishing brand that sold thousands of books a month.
I led men’s groups across continents, helping them reconnect with their soul.
And I embedded into growing companies as a “Fractal COO,” helping one startup scale to a $22M valuation, and another HVAC team hit $2M/year in sales with ease.What I discovered is this:When a founder has the right system, one that reflects their true rhythm and values—
Their team starts to move with coherence.
Their vision gets executed without micromanagement.
And their presence returns—to their work, to their home, to themselves.That’s what I help you build.Not just a Notion workspace—
but a Connected Vision OS
that aligns your people, process, and purpose
around the heartbeat of your company: your vision.This isn’t for everyone.It’s for the founder who’s already built momentum—
but knows they’ll never scale what they can’t systemize.
It’s for the executive who wants to lead a culture, not just a company.
And it’s for the visionary who refuses to building what they were born to build.If that’s you,
I’d be honored to co-create with you.Let’s make your vision inevitable.
With respect and admiration,
Carlos
