Stuck in the weeds of your business? Here’s what to do when you’re doing it all yourself and bottlenecking growth

Many entrepreneurs and business owners have found enough success to grow, but they still do everything themselves—project management, customer service, sales—for years. It feels normal to actively operate every part of your business. But this kind of thinking creates a plateau in your growth and keeps your business small-time.

Get over the hump of learning to delegate with examples of people who’ve done it, mindset shifts, and actionable templates.

Meet Your New “Business Partner”

Maybe you’ve got co-founders, a team, investors, friends, a therapist, and family… none of which can totally understand the unique challenges your are facing.

Founders & CEO’s hire me as part business partner, part-confidant, and fully present strategist to customize and tailor recommendations with your best interests in mind. I’m here to help you and your business be great.*

*Based on whatever great means for you.

My Bio:

Hey, I’m David Sherry. I founded and bootstrapped a visual trend company called Death to Stock which is used by brands like Spotify, Squarespace, Bumble, and BBDO.

Starting in Columbus, OH, and working remotely since 2013, I built a 500k subscriber newsletter, hosted events around the country, and hired artists around the world from Thailand to Berlin, Auckland, and Miami. In 2016 I moved to Santa Monica, California, and in 2019 I brought on an NZ-based partner to buy of majority stake in the business which I now sit in on as an advisor.

As a coach, strategist, and advisor, I’ve worked to help 50+ founders and CEOs from viral E-commerce companies to disruptive fintechs, crypto, to private equity fund partners, and lifestyle business owners transform their business and their lifestyle.

His approach has been incredibly impactful in helping me grow both personally and professionally.

After I hired a CEO to run the business, I transitioned to working with David more on my personal growth.”

Let’s Get Down to Business 

So you may have co-founders, a team, investors, or a therapist…But none of them know what all of the daily highs and lows are like when you’re fully responsible for your business’s success or failure.

I’ll provide perspective through challenges, point out blindspots, help you with major decisions, and help you clarify where your biggest growth opportunity might be.

  • David helps create an environment that can move as fast or as slow as needed to focus on the right conversations without bringing his own perspective or bias into the process. His work is as a sherpa helping create the space for me to work out concepts and connect the dots.

  • "Since I started working with David, my revenues have increased about 50% and I’ve taken the time I spent on the business down 30%, which I never thought would be possible.

    He's so good at helping you think through your work, do it intelligently, and helping me arrive at insights or conclusions on my own.

  • “He (David) truly understands the challenges and what it's like being a founder.

    Together we not only pinpointed the source of a given issue, but he led me to find a path to a solution.

    Telling my personal story and my brand's narrative with clarity and confidence was why I first sought out David as a coach.

    What I found instead is something much greater than what I'd anticipated—feeling empowered as a founder, allowing me to lean into my intuition.

    David created a space for me where I could be utterly honest, without any filters. “

  • "He’s the reason my company still exists + is bigger than ever even though I haven’t worked on it full-time in years.

    He coached me and improved my business in countless ways, super thoughtful in business and life."escription

ADRIAN ALFIERI, FOUNDER OF VERBATIM

“There's a big difference between pinging your founder friends and having someone dedicated to your business.

David became much more than a coach. He became a right-hand person who was part of the business, which is really rare.”

JENNIE YOON, FOUNDER & CEO KINN JEWELRY

“He truly understands the challenges and what it's like being a founder.

Together we not only pinpointed the source of a given issue, but he led me to find a path to a solution.
