Frequently Ask Questions
Stevan Browning
Business Advisor, Author, Mentor, and Coach
I work and think like an energetic, motivated partner rather than an academic advisor—I'll challenge your assumptions, push your thinking, and ground every conversation in what matters most: meaningful progress, sustainable impact, and work that truly moves the needle.
Why work with an advisor and coach?
According to Forbes, Inc., CNBC, the New York Times, and the Huffington Post, Startups, small, and mid-sized companies often struggle because they are forced to make complex decisions without the guidance, structure, or support that larger companies depend on.
A business advisor fills this gap by offering experienced, objective guidance learned from working across different industries and business stages, helping owners and leaders avoid common pitfalls and spot opportunities they might otherwise overlook.
Additionally, an advisor helps prioritize initiatives, set measurable goals, and ensure that short-term actions align with long-term objectives. This structure mirrors the internal strategy, finance, and leadership teams that larger companies already have in place.
What business areas can you assist with?
Small Business Startup
Set Up Your Business for Long-Term Advantage
I help you choose the right business structure to minimize risk, optimize taxes, support financing needs, and position your company for sustainable growth.

Leadership Collaboration
Strengthen Decision-Making and Focus

What is your workflow process?
Discovery
I I will ask profound, provocative, and troubling questions to understand how to advance your business, helping me learn more about your operations. Through these questions, I can gain a better understanding of your challenges and offer tailored advice on how to address them, improve performance, increase value, and develop your leadership skills.
Recommendation
Upon completing the discovery, I will analyze the collected data and outline containment ideas if your business is exploding. Suggest processes, procedures, and controls to correct implosive business practices. Propose ways to kick start-controlled growth for those whose business is stuck and point out key objectives you should pursue, setting the stage for creating a robust yet straightforward plan of action to achieve them.
Planning & Consenssus
While my experience allows me to bring a unique perspective and new insights to a business, the on-the-ground management team understands the business better than anyone. As an experienced advisor and coach, I'll join forces with the business stakeholders to guide the development of an actionable plan with full buy-in results ready for implementation.
OPTIONAL: Continuing Guidance & Expertise
Entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders may excel in many areas, but there will always be important strategic, marketing, operational, and financial aspects they lack the minimum competence to deal with. To cope with these challenges, they need management assistance and guidance. I fulfill this need by providing ongoing guidance and business expertise to enable my clients to focus on their core activities, knowing a skilled specialist is there to support them.
