Coaching
For business owners who’ve hit a wall that effort alone can’t solve.
If you’ve found your way here, you’re probably not looking for a productivity tip.
You’re a business owner or senior leader who’s already built something real. You’ve got the revenue, the team, and the track record. But right now, you’re facing something that hard work alone won’t solve:
Something broke. You’re facing a setback — in your business, your health, your partnership, your life — and the playbook that built everything isn’t the one that gets you through this.
You hit a ceiling. You’re successful and working hard, but you can’t break through to the next level. More effort isn’t the answer and you know it.
You need to become someone new. The role is shifting — from operator to CEO, from builder to leader, from the person who does everything to the person who does the right thing. You can sense the next version of yourself, but you can’t see it clearly.
The answer to all three is the same: You need a partner to help you identify who you need to become to break through.
I coach founders and business owners through the pivots, setbacks, and ceilings that effort alone can’t solve.
My clients are typically generating $3 million or more in revenue and leading teams. They’re past the survival phase. They’re in the part where the business needs them to become a different kind of leader — and they need someone who can help them see the path.
I help them see what they can’t see on their own. I challenge them to get honest about what matters. And together, we build a plan that actually moves the needle — not by doing more, but by becoming the person the next chapter demands.

Testimonials
For years, I've felt like my business was succeeding in spite of me: plenty of vision, not enough execution; hiring good people, but failing to keep them around (six times!); wanting more for my life, but not feeling like I deserved it.
In six months of working together, Jay helped me identify the patterns that had been quietly sabotaging my growth: all-or-nothing thinking, people-pleasing disguised as high standards, using learning as a place to hide instead of actually shipping my work. And then he helped me separate those patterns from my identity. The results were concrete: I finally made the right EA hire, moved to Boulder to live the life I'd been designing on paper, got consistent with my newsletter after years of struggling, and started building the personal brand I'd been "almost ready" to launch forever. Jay's framework keeps you ruthlessly focused on what actually moves the needle, even as your "One Thing" evolves. For any entrepreneur or creative who's great at the vision and keeps falling short on execution, Jay is the coach who closes that gap.
Working with Jay Papasan and The ONE Thing coaching program has given clarity, not just in business, but in life.
Together, we identified the net worth and income I'll need for retirement and created a plan to get there and beyond. That alone gave me tremendous peace of mind. We also uncovered tax strategies — including cost segregation on existing real estate — projected to save a significant amount going forward. Beyond finances, Jay helped me break through an old mindset that time off had to be earned. That one mindset shift changed how I approach my entire week. I'm more present, less guilty, and far more intentional about protecting time for the people and relationships that matter most. Professionally, the biggest transformation has been launching AIFoundRE — my new company built around AI training for real estate professionals. Jay was instrumental in shaping the structure, marketing, and revenue model from the ground up. This program helped me think bigger, act with intention, and build a real pathway to the next season of my life. If you're ready to do the same, I can't recommend it enough.
Jay’s coaching has transformed the way I lead and the way I see myself as a leader.
In a remarkably efficient process, he helped me gain the clarity, confidence, and strategic sharpness I needed to step into my work at a higher level. His impact is evident in every decision I make. I am deeply grateful.
