The O8.
We Are Dangerously Good at Fixing What's Not Working.
Ready to stop being the bottleneck in your own business?
Have you hit the wall?
You've becomes the Business Bottleneck.
Every question comes to you.
Every decision waits for you.
Nothing happens without you.
It Isn't You.
What worked when you started was great when it was just you — but it doesn't work a few years in because it isn't just you anymore.
6:23 AM. Your Day Off.
It's 6:23am and you wake to hear your phone ringing. It startles you, but then you jump up to grab it before the ringing wakes the whole house up. Great way to start your "day off."
It's the staff. Couldn't even get 30 minutes into the day without having to call. You answer it and as soon as the voice at the other end starts talking, you're already thinking: "Why can't you just handle this without me for once? It's not that hard."
Sound familiar?
So much for having a 'day off'!
If this is your "day off," then this is exactly what Sam is an expert at. Making sure your team can handle things without you there. She doesn't just train people better or write clearer procedures — she rebuilds how information flows through your business so the right person has the right answer at the right time.
Sam spots the real reason everything defaults back to you. It's not that your team is incompetent. It's that your business was built around you being the central hub for everything. She redesigns that system so it works without you in it.
When Sam's done, your phone stays quiet on your days off. Not because problems stopped happening, but because your team finally has what they need to solve them without you.
SAM MORRIS
In The O8, Sam is the Architect. She designs the blueprint, the systems, and the infrastructure that makes your business run smoothly.
Another Record Year. So Why Do You Feel Broken?
You step out of the accountant's office with a big smile on your face. Another record year. The numbers look incredible on paper. Revenue up, profits healthy, growth trending in all the right directions.
But walking to your car, the smile fades and that familiar knot forms in your stomach.
If the business is doing so well, why do you feel like you're drowning? Why does success feel this exhausting? Why can't you enjoy what you've built? Why does "having it all" feel like you're barely holding it together?
How did I end up here?
That disconnect — between what success looks like from the outside and what it feels like from the inside — that's exactly what Steph understands.
She knows why profitable doesn't always mean peaceful. Why growth can feel like chaos. Why being "successful" can leave you feeling more trapped than free.
Steph sees the gap between where your business is and where you need it to be for your life to actually work. Then she maps out exactly how to close that gap — not with more hustle, but with smarter structure.
When Steph's done, success feels like success. Not just on paper, but in your actual life.
STEPH GRAY
In The O8, Steph is the strategist. She sees what's coming and understands how things need to change so that your business can run independently.
Steph spent years climbing the corporate ladder in banking, playing by rules written by people who valued profit above all else—often at the expense of humanity. She understands how money flows through businesses.
Sam stood on the wall—12 years in the Navy—then moved on to start an industrial service business with her husband. She watched the same things happen to her husband that are happening to you right now.
Together, we have spent 10 years coaching and mentoring business owners, and that experience is what we bring to you in The O8.
