I failed at five companies in my teens and twenties. Every single one.

People saw me as a "wantrepreneur" who couldn't actually lead. I didn't know if I had what it took to build something that lasted.

Everything changed when I got married and my wife agreed to let me quit my job for one more shot. I couldn't let this one fail.

So I read every business book I could find. I learned to grow a company the right way. That company grew 31% annually for 10 years straight, from $0 to $2M.

Here's what I learned: Most business owners get stuck at predictable revenue plateaus: $500K, $2M, $5M. The problem isn't strategy. It's isolation.

You're making critical decisions alone that could make or break your business. You need other successful owners who've been where you're going.

That's why I founded The Arena, a revenue accelerator for $200K-$10M business owners. We host peer groups of 6-8 founders who meet monthly (virtually) to solve real problems and break through plateaus together.

Our members grew an average of 15.5% last year:

- One member grew 77% and successfully exited
- Another navigated a difficult partner breakup and grew 23%
- An owner who thought "non-growth was fine" changed his mind and grew 17%

This isn't consulting. It's founders helping founders with battle-tested experience.

Ready to break past your next revenue plateau? Let's talk about whether The Arena is right for you. 

Schedule a call (https://calendly.com/the-arena-network/strategy-call) or send me a message.

The best time to solve tomorrow's problems is with today's peer group.

3x Founder | Founder Acceleration Coach | Helping high-performing founders scale faster with absolute clarity | Sold $65mm online

As a founder of 3 companies and 1 non-profit, with 2 successful exits, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to grow a business.

I’ve also experienced the toll of stress, insomnia, and health challenges. I know how overwhelming it can be when scaling your business feels like an uphill battle.

In my 11 years with EO Argentina, I listened to the struggles of +100 successful founders (doing at least USD 1M a year in sales). I realized that beneath the surface, it’s often chaos: isolation, financial pressure, and fear of burnout. 

While most accelerators focus on startups, the truth is that, for businesses under $10MM in revenue, the biggest bottleneck to growth is you: the founder.

That's why I created Founder Accelerator: to empower the founders of renowned companies like Swag, Trading Company, Sancho Motors, Jams, Crawford Partners LLC, Lemon Basil, We Are Doers, and Mad Hatter LLC. 

My mission is to help them scale themselves first enhancing their clarity, focus, and efficiency, so they can grow their businesses with unparalleled speed and confidence.

Through personalized coaching, a 5-pillar playbook, and access to top professionals, we don’t just build businesses — we optimize the founder. 

If you're ready to scale your business while maintaining a healthy, balanced life, send me a DM and I’ll show you how Founder Accelerator can help you achieve both.

How to create a 3-year vision for your company:

Your team can only execute to the extent of the blueprint you give them.

The Vivid Vision exercise forces you to write it all down. 3-4 hours. 8 specific questions. No distractions. Then you share it with your team so they finally know what you're actually building.
That's how you stop micromanaging and start leading.

How to extract your company vision from your head

Admitting you're drowning is f*cking hard. It's hard to say out loud:

"I want to stop sleeping 4 hours a night."

"I don't want to spend my life doing work I hate."

"I want to stop being stressed every single day."

"I need help. This is too much."

I’m grateful for the founders who are brave enough to admit that burnout and grinding isn't the life they want to build. Grateful for their trust. Grateful to watch them get their lives back.

You didn't start this business to be miserable. You started it for freedom. For control. For stability.

So don't let the journey drive you away from that.

🔥 For the next 5 days, I'm offering a 40% discount on 1:1 coaching sessions.

Here's a bucket of iced water before 2026 starts

How to build work-life balance as a founder (without sacrificing growth)

Most founders plan the business first, then try to squeeze their life into whatever time is left. There's never time left.

This isn't privilege. It's intentional planning. Your 2026 plan needs to start with how you want to live, not just how much you want to earn.

Work-life balance

How to create a 3-year vision so your team stops asking you about every decision

Your 3-year picture is the bridge between today and your 10-year target. It shows what needs to be true in three years to stay on track. And when you combine it with your core values, those two things become the filter for EVERY decision.

Now your team can make calls without you. You stop being the bottleneck.

This is Day 4 of the Vision to Traction Organizer. Follow for the full series on building a 2026 plan with real structure.

How to delegate before vacation (without your business falling apart)

If you can't take time off without checking your phone every hour, you don't have a delegation problem. You have a system problem.

This carousel shares the fix so you can actually disconnect.

Want the complete delegation framework? Link in bio for the Hiring & Recruiting Course.

Vacation - delegation

How to test skills in job interviews (instead of just asking about past experience)

You wouldn't hire a goalkeeper by asking "Tell me about your best save." You'd kick balls at them and watch them perform.

But most founders hire salespeople after hearing great stories about their past wins. No live demo. No skills test. Just confident answers and a polished resume.

Want the full framework for testing skills and values in interviews? Comment "Course" below.

No one would hire a goalkeeper based on...

Delegation is the hardest shift founders face when scaling.

Here’s what these 3 books will actually teach you:

1️⃣ Traction (Gino Wickman)

This is the operating manual for getting out of the weeds. 

- How to design an Accountability Chart so every role has one clear owner.
- How to use Scorecards to track weekly performance without micromanaging.
- How to run Level 10 Meetings so problems get solved in the room, not pushed back to you.

Instead of every problem coming to you, you’ll have structure so everyone knows their role and what they’re responsible for.

2️⃣ Topgrading (Bradford Smart)

Delegation fails if you hire the wrong people. Topgrading shows you how to identify, hire, and keep A-players so you can actually let go with confidence. 

- How to build Job Scorecards that define outcomes, not just responsibilities.
- The Topgrading Interview method to spot A-players vs. smooth talkers.
- How to make hiring a repeatable system so you trust who you delegate to.

3️⃣ 10x Is Easier Than 2x (Dan Sullivan)

This book flips the founder mindset: you don’t grow by doing more, you grow by doing less. It teaches you to focus only on your unique ability and delegate the rest. 

- How to identify your Unique Ability — the work only you should be doing.
- How to run a “Stop-Doing List” to decide what gets delegated or cut.
- How to shift from adding effort to multiplying results through leverage.

 If you’re stuck doing too much yourself, these 3 books are the fastest way to start building the muscle of delegation.

Which one are you starting with?

How to set business goals for 2026 (that your team can actually execute on)

The reason your 2025 goals failed isn't lack of effort. It's lack of clarity. Vague goals create hidden expectations. 

The fix: Write goals like a third party will audit them. No room for interpretation. No "what I really meant was..."

This is Day 5 of the Vision to Traction Organizer. We're building a 2026 plan that doesn't fall apart by February.

Follow for the rest.

Feedback from Gustavo Scheveloff, Co-Founder & CEO of HiperPBX

—-

Thank you for your trust in Founder Accelerator.

Let’s keep pushing together 🚀

I talk to founders every week who are beating themselves up for not being further along.

Then I ask: "Where were you 3 years ago?"

The shift in their face is immediate. 

They forgot. They've been so focused on the gap between where they are and where they want to be, they stopped seeing how far they've actually traveled.

If that's you today - pause. Look back for a second. You've built something most people only talk about.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Most founders hire on gut feel. 

They like someone's energy. 

Their resume looks good. 

They have the right experience. 

Then 6 months later, they realize: This person is talented. But they're toxic. Or they don't make decisions the way we do. Or they're not aligned with how we actually work.

Skills got them in the door. But values are what make them stay or what destroy your culture. The big question us: HOW DO YOU TEST THEM? 

If you want the full system, check the course in my bio.

How to set core values for your company (that your team actually uses)

Stop inventing generic values like "transparency, execution, honesty." 

Here's what actually works: Extract values from your best players. 
The ones crushing it right now. Look at how they work, how they behave, what makes them different.

This is Day 1 of the Vision to Traction Organizer - the 2-page framework that replaces those generic planning templates you make every January and abandon by March.

Follow for the rest of the series. We're fixing your 2026 plan with real exercises, not theory.

How to differentiate your business from competitors (and stop competing on price)

If you're dropping prices to close deals, you don't have a positioning problem. You have a clarity problem.

Your 3 Uniques are the specific reasons clients choose YOU over everyone else. Not vague benefits. Concrete differentiators your team can sell and your clients can articulate.

This is Day 3 of the Vision to Traction Organizer. Follow for the full series on building a 2026 plan that actually works.

How to set a 10-year business goal (even when you can't predict next month)

Most founders avoid long-term planning because scaling feels unstable. But here's the truth: you DO have a vision. You just haven't written it down.

Your 10-year target doesn't need to be a fantasy. It needs to be bold, ambitious, but realistic. Something that makes it clear WHY you're putting in effort today.

This is Day 2 of the Vision to Traction Organizer. Follow for the full series. We're building your 2026 plan with real frameworks, not generic templates.

How to assign accountability for business goals

When you put two people on one goal, both assume the other is handling it. Then nothing gets done. Or it gets done halfway. And when you ask "who's responsible?" you get finger-pointing instead of answers.

One owner doesn't mean they do everything themselves. It means they're the single point of contact. The person whose name is on it. 

This is Day 6 of the Vision to Traction Organizer. Follow for the complete 2026 planning framework.
