Breakthrough Business 

Who: Isaac Bardos, Founder of Breakthrough Business, LLC, based in Boca Raton, Florida, as well as three other businesses in several industries.

Where: While I’m based in Florida, I’ve served clients across four continents: North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. I’ve been seeing clients on Zoom since 2015, and I travel around the United States to run high-energy, in-person team and management trainings.

When: I founded Breakthrough Business almost six years ago, after coaching people informally for nine years.

What: Breakthrough Business is my business coaching company. We help businesses owners scale their business while freeing up their time using the “five pillar scaling to freedom” system.

Many people start a business because they fall in love with the product, service, or idea they’re offering, taking their passion and turning it into a business. They try to grow that business with sheer willpower — but when the will runs out, so does the power; literally and figuratively, the business is out of business.

Others see tremendous financial opportunity, so they invest, take risks, and see where it goes. The problem is that as the business grows, they need more hands on deck, a better way to stay organized, and team and management skills all around. Not to mention that they need to put together sales, marketing, and operations teams, so they’re not doing it all.

Often, such owners get stuck in what I call “the stress cycle”— the more they want to increase their profits, the more they feel they need to sacrifice their personal life to have the money to fund their lifestyle, which is a backward mentality. Without the systems, processes, and objective perspectives to grow a business, owners essentially build their own gilded jail cell. The business is beautiful. It’s golden. It’s worth way more than when it launched — but the owner can’t get out. The hardest working employee there doesn’t have the freedom he got into the business to enjoy!

Why:

As my personal coaching clients gained confidence and clarity, they wanted to start their own businesses, and they asked me to continue coaching them. You know what I found? People are their patterns, and that creates problems. You cannot scale a business or free up your time when you keep using the same strategies you’ve always used, solving problems along the way. Your thinking methodology determines your decisions, which then determine where your business will be in a month, in a year, or even in three years. Drastic business growth requires a new style of decision-making, which means the owner needs new operating processes; this was the case with my own businesses.
