“You really hold us accountable for doing the work, and the results we get are the result of what we put into it. That’s different from just leading us through the program and just taking the check. You’re more like the person who’s more invested in our outcome.”

“I appreciate your energy and your genuine interest in working through this stuff.”

“We would not be where we are today without the structure John’s coaching and our business operating system provide.”

“Another great session. Really amped about our Rocks, more so than ever before. I’ve never seen our team collaborate this way, challenge each other, push us forward.”

“John, we’ve been able to stay focused where we can have the most impact because of the support you’ve given me as my coach and friend.”

“There are leaders, managers, and doers. Before starting to work with John, we were trying to do all three. One of the biggest things we learned from John is “Who Not How”—figure out who can get this done, instead of how to get it done.”

“John, we’ve been able to stay focused where we can have the most impact because of the support you’ve given me as my coach and friend.”

“John really helps us focus on not getting lost in the weeds outside our core business focus.”

“You are the right level of implementing rules but not being fucking crazy about it. You do a great job, you apply pressure and keep us in line but allow us some flexibility.”

“Now that we have figured out this process, we can grow dramatically by leaps and bounds because we have a purpose.”

“Trying to implement a business operating system without a guide is like trying to be a doctor without getting a medical degree. You cannot practice this discipline without going through the training. You just can’t do it.”

“I make things hard, you make things easy .”

“We accomplish great things every time. We’re stronger as a team. I like the clear expectations. It’s worth every dime we pay you.”

“John Fulwider’s help is 33% of our success.”

“You’re a talented facilitator, I appreciate you.”

“I really think the transparency around our conversations was really good. I respect we can have those conversations, a lot of partners can’t.”

“As a team, we have agreement on our scorecard. With the knowledge that we are all focused on the same thing, that allows each of us as individuals to relax more.”

2021 was an extremely good year filled with an immense amount of challenges. As a team we faced those challenges early, honestly, and well. Dealers told us we’re the best company for how we deal with the issues that come up.”

“I think you’re exceptional. Just in the last six months my level of satisfaction with life has increased 70-80% and it’s a result of little changes we have made in here.” 

“What I like most about what you do is pulling us back in, organizing the whole shebang. You simplify that big mess for us. You’re really good at it.”

“This not having to deal with the day to day of our company, and finding significant time to work on visionary opportunities, oh, it’s liberating. It feels like I’m never rushed.”

“A lot of work with a big climb ahead of us, but all (including myself) feel we are headed in the right direction. Thanks for facilitating. You and pinnacle have done wonders for our business and us as individuals.”

“None of this would have been possible without solid business coaching from John, and me deciding that I don’t have to run the company.”

“Thank you again for a session of aloha spirit and smart strategic visioning. I know we will get amazing results from the work we did yesterday with you, John. “

“We have a mountain of things to get done, and a plan for each one. I am super pumped and excited.”

“Thank you again for a session of aloha spirit and smart strategic visioning. I know we will get amazing results from the work we did yesterday with you, John. “

“When we hired John, we hired him to create a self-managing company for myself.”

“Every time I leave one of these quarterly retreats, I feel accomplished and that we’ve gotten away from the perpetual fires.”

“Every time we have these meetings, it gives us a clearer path forward.”

“The whole process of coming up with our what and our why was very impressive to me. In the past we haven’t had a fine-tuned idea of our why and our what.”

“Running on a business operating system makes us more attentive to details and quicker to react.”

“As a team, we have agreement on our scorecard. With the knowledge that we are all focused on the same thing, that allows each of us as individuals to relax more.”

“This was our best session to date. John, you are good at your job.”

“I firmly believe we would not have survived the current realities if we had not come together as a team and worked the realities every week.”

“We got a lot of people who want to sprint, we just don’t know which direction to point them.”

“These are good exercises. It’s nice to be facilitated. Otherwise, we’d just sit around.”

“There are lots of fabulous business books. Without a coach it’s just a fabulous business book like all the others. You need a coach to hold you accountable.”

“I always leave these conversations feeling better than when I started.”

“I’m always excited about coming down here and what we leave with!”

“In the few short months I’ve worked with John, the time he’s given me is frankly amazing. You gave me time to be with my family.”

“It you set a high high goal, some things become unimportant. We’re light years ahead of where we were a year ago.”

“We would have hit a brick wall. It absolutely came at the right time. You’re what we needed.”

“Sometimes I just need a sounding board. You get thoughts flowing for me.”

“It sucks but it’s good. Definitely a lot of things we’ve never talked about before. This is the most we’ve ever worked on the business together, we’ve never done this as a team.” 

“Your coaching last time was really effective. I’m more patient, more understanding.”

“The problem with you John is you’ve set the bar so high. You’re so good at what you do.” 

“We had a lot of challenges at EyeCare Specialties. John Fulwider guided us to the right decisions to solve each challenge—the dollar investment we made looks tiny next to the growth we’ve achieved. John has a real gift for coaching strong leaders who are decisive and want to grow. Hiring him is a no-brainer.” 

“Implementing a business operating system is much more intense than I expected, and I couldn’t imagine doing it without John. We have been growing significantly. I feel like we’re on a rocket ship.”

“Accountability Chart gives you wings.”

“You do a great job of listening, then asking pointed questions that elicit action commitments from us.”

“Doing these rocks is really going to make next year better, easier, and really make more sense. “

“John, I’m grateful for your guidance. It is hard work. I am excited about the journey.”

“It’s nice walking out with the FAST Rock Planner. We’re already rolling. I always enjoy these, coming in and breaking some stuff apart. It’s nice to sit in a room and bounce ideas off each other.” 

“I thought I was going to get here and fall asleep. I didn’t know it would be this engaging.”

“Thank you John M. Fulwider for another great session helping us develop our goals and path for continued success. The team always comes out of these meetings recharged and hyper focused.”

“You just bring everything back into focus for me.”

“I think you’re doing an amazing job. We’re consistent with our meetings. We’re on the same page. You put us on the same page.”

“Every time we have a coaching conversation, I level up.”

“You know how you have one of those moments in life that forever changes your trajectory in new, fascinating ways?  Just had one of those right now with Dr. John M. Fulwider, Ph.D. , the ultimate simplifier—who dropped mad scholarly experience shares and riffed with me around the data science of delegation. Thank you, John, for your commitment to helping and coaching entrepreneurs towards mastery and excellence!”
