If you’re trying to grow but feel stuck with inconsistent leads, confusing messaging, or outdated digital presence, we can help you change that.

Let’s talk about building your Digital Game Plan or launching a lead-generating content strategy that finally gets you found.

Helping Founders Scale, Prepare, and Exit | Value & Profit Growth | Live Streaming Business Development | Buying & Selling Businesses | Chief Exit Officer | LinkedIn Live Stream Host

Running a business was supposed to give you more freedom, not take it away.

But somewhere along the way, growth slowed. The work got heavier. You’re buried in day-to-day decisions, your team is busy, but results aren’t where they should be. Instead of scaling, it feels like you’re stuck.

That’s not failure. That’s a business plateau. And it’s more common than most business owners are willing to admit.

I help fix that.

For more than 25 years, I’ve worked with owners and leadership teams in manufacturing, ecommerce, and B2B services to help them grow businesses that run better, generate more value, and eventually become sellable when the time is right.

Through Exit Your Way, I guide B2B companies to build systems, elevate teams, and create exit options, even if they don’t plan to sell for years. Through our work at B2Btail with the Digital Game Plan strategy development/execution process, we help companies stop being the best kept secret by creating marketing foundations that attract their ideal customers and position them for long-term success.

My focus is simple: helping you build a business that works, whether you’re in the room or not.

Common challenges I help solve:

Low visibility: Your best customers don’t know you exist. We fix that by aligning messaging, strategy, and marketing assets to bring them to you.

Owner overload: If everything depends on you, growth hits a wall. We help build teams and systems that keep moving, even when you step away.

Exit confusion: You want out someday, but the path forward is unclear. We build companies buyers want and owners are proud of.

When it works, here’s what changes:

Customers find you because your message finally speaks their language

Your team handles the day-to-day, freeing you to focus on higher-value work

You move from reacting to leading, and from being stuck to scaling intentionally

I’ve built and sold companies, led investor-backed teams, and helped founders grow from $5 million to $30 million and beyond. I bring the tools, perspective, and calm needed to lead through messy growth and prepare for clean, profitable exits.

But this isn’t just about growth or selling. It’s about control over your time, your team, your income, and your future.

If you’re ready to lead again instead of constantly catching up, I’d be glad to talk.

You’ve built something great. Let’s make sure it works for you.

Accountability is the cornerstone of high-performing teams...


Cultivating a culture of ownership and accountability is essential for organizational excellence.


Here's how to build that culture:


🔷 Equip your team with the resources, autonomy, and trust to drive ownership and initiative.

🔷 Establish crystal-clear, measurable objectives that align with strategic goals.

🔷 Implement a system of consistent, constructive feedback to foster continuous improvement and growth.

When people know what they are accountable for it helps the entire organization move forward in the same direction.


⚡A culture of accountability cultivates a dynamic, engaged, and results-driven team.⚡


How do you empower your team to embrace accountability?

Damon Pistulka √

Running a business was supposed to give you more freedom, not steal your time, energy, and joy.

But somewhere along the way, growth slowed. You’re buried in day-to-day tasks. Your team is busy, but the results aren’t there. And your business is running you.

Sound familiar?

That’s not failure. That’s founder fatigue. And it’s more common than most admit.

This Is What I Fix.

For 30+ years, I’ve helped manufacturing, ecommerce, and B2B business owners/teams stop spinning their wheels and start growing with clarity, confidence, and control.

Through Exit Your Way, I help business owners increase their company’s value, build exit options, and remove themselves from the weeds.

Through B2Btail and tailored programs, I help your business get found online by the customers you actually want—without adding more to your plate.

Helping business owners grow valuable businesses they will be able to sell when they are ready down the road it my entire focus.

What’s in the Way Right Now?

🔷 Flat Sales – Soulmate customers can’t find you. We fix visibility and turn expert content into leads.

🔷 Owner Overload – If you’re doing it all, you’re doing too much. We build systems and teams that work—even when you're not around.

🔷 Exit Fog – Want out someday but don’t know how? We build companies that buyers want and owners love.

What Happens When You Get It Right?

✅ Customers find you and you answer the right questions

✅ Your team runs the day-to-day (without needing you for every little thing)

✅ You stop feeling stuck and start building a business that fuels your life

Why Trust Me?

I’ve built and sold businesses, led investor-backed companies, and walked alongside founders as they grew $5M companies into $30M+ powerhouses. I bring the tools, clarity, and calm needed to lead businesses through messy growth and into clean, profitable exits.

But this isn’t about a big exit, or even big growth, unless that’s what you want. 

It's about choosing how you spend your time, what you work on, and who you work with.

Let’s get you back to that.

The fastest way to kill a great idea?

Ask,


“What are the chances it will work?”

Probability is safe, comfortable, and it keeps you in the lane you’ve already driven a hundred times.


Possibility is where growth lives:

🔷Probability limits you to what’s been done before.

🔷Possibility invites creativity.

🔷Your best opportunities rarely look “likely.”

When you focus on possibilities you can create a better and different tomorrow.

Don't let resistance win..

When we stop fighting what’s next,

growth starts happening.

Every time we want to change, resistance shows up.

It whispers:
🔷You're not ready.

🔷This might fail.

🔷What will others think?

🔷Why rock the boat?

But,, resistance only shows up because you're growing.

If you let it lead, you'll delay everything that matters most:

🔥Happiness

🔥Real growth

🔥Your own freedom

The life you want is on the other side of motion.


⚡Build momentum. Then keep going. ⚡

"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." - Albert Einstein

Recently, I experienced something special during an early morning walk on the beach. I felt a sense of clarity and peace that only nature can provide.

Here’s what I learned:

🔷The waves crashing reminded me of the bigger picture.

🔷 Relax your mind to reset and refresh, sparking new ideas, and renewing energy.

🔷 Walking on the sand, listening to the waves, and seeing the beauty reminded me of the importance of being present.

When we take the time to connect with nature, it can transform lives.

⚡ Experiencing nature is like a reset button for your soul! ⚡

How do you find clarity and inspiration outside of work?

It’s easy to criticize the world.

It’s harder, braver, and better if we are a voice for what’s good.

Every day we’re given simple choices:

🔷We can complain or contribute.

🔷We can fuel anger or offer hope.

🔷We can tear down or build something better.

This doesn’t mean we ignore what’s broken.

It means we speak life into what’s good and possible.

If your marketing feels like guessing…


it probably is.

Strategy removes the guesswork and replaces it with logical action.

Most businesses operate in reactive marketing mode:

🔷Random social posts

🔷Inconsistent messaging

🔷No clear direction

It helps you:

🤔Define who you’re speaking to

🤔Clarify what to say

🤔Build repeatable, results-driven systems

Take the time, your future self will thank you for.

People matter more than your inbox.

The holidays sneak up fast.

Too often, business leaders try to "outwork" the season.

🔷Finish the year strong.

🔷Clear the backlog.

🔷Push one more initiative over the finish line.

But,,,

What’s the point if you’re too tired or busy to enjoy the people you’re building it for?


When you spend time with people who matter, your brain resets.

🔥You relax.

🔥You reconnect.

🔥You remember why you work so hard.

Mental health improves when you pause "in spite of" the work.

Some of the best business insights come while:

🤔Laughing around the dinner table

🤔Walking with a friend

🤔Talking with someone who reminds you of who you are

Each time I had a choice:

😭Stay down and make excuses

OR

🔥Get up and move forward

Your excuses are holding you back more than you think.

Too often, people struggle because they give too much power to excuses.

I’ve been there, making excuses for why something didn’t go right or why it didn’t even start.

Here’s the truth:

🔷Every excuse you make is time and energy that could’ve been spent moving forward.

🔷When start looking at solutions instead of barriers, you start moving forward.

🔷When you own the outcome and refuse to let excuses define your limits, success will find you.

We all need to take the right steps to ensure that excuses are holding us back.


⚡Real growth begins when we take full responsibility. ⚡


What excuses are you leaving behind this year to achieve your goals?
