The business isn't growing as you'd like
Competition is making serious headway
Resources are being wasted
There is misalignment internally
How do you quickly uncover and resolve an issue that is slowing you down?
How to get growing again?
You don’t have time to skip this right now. If you’re here and thinking about this in any way it means something isn’t quite right with the business. You can keep putting it off because you’re busy (and I know you are extremely busy) but the problem isn’t going away and, the longer you wait to tackle it, the worse it will get for the business.
Bite the bullet and get resolution in only 3 sessions. You’ll be in a much better spot and the whole company will be able to move forward faster.Vision and how it comes to life are not the same thing. It’s great that you have a clear vision and you are communicating it. Unfortunately, strategy and plans are the way that vision comes to life. While vision may never change, both your strategy and plans have to be adaptable and change as the market and company change. It’s not a frequent thing (once a year at most) but it is necessary. Without having clarity on your how, you’ll struggle to achieve the vision.
No.
You don’t have time to waste and I don’t want to waste your time.
I specialize in advising growth companies on their alignment to remove friction and get back to growing.
There are lots of “consultants” out there with good experience and value to add. I don’t want to be a consultant. I have a specific approach that is both fast and effective that will help you remove any obstacles quickly and get your business back on the path to maximizing your growth. That’s all I do.
Very little or nothing other than share what you already know.
Once we agree on who will attend the sessions, I can send invites, do the prep, run the sessions and summarize the results in a report. You just have to attend and contribute.
It’s really for companies at any stage. I’ve worked with entrepreneurs that have ideas, and MVPs as well as companies with tens of millions in revenue on their way to $100M+. The businesses aren’t the same of course but the principles of what drives growth are.
No. I work primarily with grow-oriented companies because of their aggressive focus on getting better and driving growth. But any company can use this approach to tackle a problem that’s holding them back from achieving what they need or want.
That’s up to you but I’d recommend including your team. The benefits of having additional smart people in the room are massive and, by being part of the process, you get immediate buy-in to the path.

How to know if I'm stuck?
Your team’s giving it everything they’ve got. Long hours, constant hustle—doing whatever it takes to move the needle.
Growth feels harder than it should. It’s like you're constantly pushing uphill.
You know something’s off. But when you're in it every day, how do you know what the real problem is? And more importantly, who can you actually talk to about it?
Here are some of the signs that you're stuck:
Go from stuck to scaling
You've built something. People are using it. There’s real traction. But lately, growth has hit a wall—and no matter what you try, it’s not moving the way it used to. You’re stuck.
I’m Jamie Schneiderman. I’ve been there—twice— as a founder. I know the feeling of hitting a plateau and how it feels to get past it.
Now I work with founders to help them figure out what’s getting in the way of growth, how to break through it, and what steps to take next - and it only takes a few days to get clear on where to go from here.

How do you know if you're stuck?
Your team is pushing as hard as possible to grow.
You've built something amazing that your customers really need but somehow it's harder than you think it should be – too much pushing and not enough pull from the market.
Your gut's telling you there's a problem, but how do you know for sure?
Below are some specific symptoms when you're stuck:
