The Five Facets of Business™ Operating System

Lead a Business That Carries Its Own Weight

Most businesses don’t struggle because they lack a plan, but because what used to work no longer holds as the business grows and becomes more complex.

Frameworks and tools get added, but they don’t stick—and the burden stays with you.

Put a system in place your team can actually run, so ownership shifts back onto the

business, execution sticks, and you are no longer the one holding it all together.

Consulting Practice Diagnostic: Five Facets of Business

Why Consultants Get Certified

The leak above is common. Most consultants hit it because they're building their own system from scratch, one client at a time, with nothing behind them but their own judgment. That's what certification actually replaces.

1

A trusted system, without the franchise price tag

Other operating system certifications charge $15,000 to $50,000 just to license their brand, and you still don't own the client relationship when you're done.

Our revenue split on Five Facets engagements allows your margins to stay healthy.

2

You stop doing this alone

Every consultant we talk to says some version of the same thing: the work is isolating. Dave and Hannah, who built this certification, hear it constantly.

Certification comes with the 5F Operators Community, a standing group of people running this framework with real clients right now, so the questions you'd otherwise sit with alone have somewhere to go.

3

A framework gets you past the pitch

Talking a prospect through their problems gets you a conversation. Showing up with an actual system to fix them is what gets you hired.

Certified operators consistently say the framework is what moves a first conversation into a signed engagement.

The certification itself

Nine training modules, about 8 hours, done at your own pace
A live two-day workshop with Dave Newell and Hannah Pniewski
A mock client call, designed by the Certified Operator trainer
Once certified: the private 5F Operators Community, monthly check-ins with Dave and Hannah, a directory listing, and a digital badge

If the lonely part of being a consultant is actually wearing on you, that's worth 20 minutes with Hannah.
