What Drives Us
We are committed to solving problems, whether our own or others.
We are humble in how we operate, sincere in how we manage, transparent in how we work, and we listen with our whole heart, for time spent listening is time well invested.
|
We are lifelong learners, driven by knowledge and empowered by imagination, for we believe that without them it puts a lid on one's personal and professional growth.
|
We're committed and resilient. We will never compromise integrity for growth; and during times of uncertainty, we'll always go in the direction of a fight with courage and honor.

Our Value Proposition
All of our business coaches and marketing consultants have run their own businesses — and some have MBAs or Doctorates in their fields. They understand where you're coming from and can relate to both the struggles and wins that accompany being a small business owner and entrepreneur.
Because they've been in your shoes—and work with entrepreneurs just like you in multiple industries— they've likely seen what you are going through before. Our business coaches and marketing consultants bring thousands of hours of coaching and mentoring as well as past experience that can shortcut your time to results.
Our onboarding programs put our business coaches and marketing consultants through hundreds of hours of training to ensure you get the value you deserve. On top of that, each week we have all our coaches and consultants split into mastermind groups to tackle challenging client problems - so if they can't solve something in a session with you, they'll have the resources to figure it out for the next meeting.
Our Passion
For far too long the coaching industry has been saturated with more cheerleaders than coaches. We agree with Tom Landry, "A coach is someone who gets you to do what you don't want to so that you can be who you want to be."
Truth be told, William's heartbeat has always been ministry, and has never seen himself as more than a servant of the Most High. He is a member of the United Pentecostal Church International, and a Kingdom servant of The First United Pentecostal Church of Ada, OK. With that said, he would love to be able to donate 30% of our division's income back into the ministry.
Our Founder
William ballard, MBA
CERTIFIED BUSINESS AND LEADERSHIP COACH
William is a serial entrepreneur and has built a successful career leading and growing organizations based, in large part, on his ability to ask great questions, speak with candor, and identify talented people with whom to collaborate.
It’s from this foundation that William helps aspiring entrepreneurs, small business owners, and ministry leaders navigate organizational, industry, and societal changes to move their organizations closer and closer towards their vision.
For the past 14+ years William has spent segments of his career serving both in the ministry and military, as well as in the private sector, and most recently in academia. Having coached both established business owners and emerging entrepreneurs for several years, William ventured into his full-time business coaching and marketing consulting firm in 2021.
It's been said William has the mind of a business man and the heart of a minister. Coming from a middle-class family, William has a heart for helping people who feel they have so much more to give, but can't seem to escape the rat race. From that place, he's coaching style focuses on helping aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners, as well as church leaders and ministers, transform from merely surviving operations to truly thriving organizations -- because he truly believes new entrepreneurs and business owners shouldn't have to go through the process of growing a business (or church/ministry) alone.
William's professional training consists of a Master of Art in English and Creative Writing (M.A. ECW), Master's in Business Administration (MBA), a Bachelors of Science in Business Management (with a concentration in Small Business and Entrepreneurship).
William is also a proud member of the Ada Chamber of Commerce. He has always been fascinated by the idea of creating something from nothing -- and nothing comes closer to that than entrepreneurship.
Finally, William has always had a deep passion for the Arts, specifically writing and photography. He is a proud member of the Professional Photographers of America, a ferocious reader and thoughtful writer.
