“We cannot overstate how much help Simon Zryd has been to us in our fledgling business. We are a 2-person operation and neither of us had previously owned a business. Had we started working with Simon from the beginning, we believe we’d be much further along in growth and profitability. Simon really took the time to understand our industry and our business model, which is key because ours does not follow the typical selling process or cycle. Simon helped us set goals, implement a process to achieve those goals and track our progress. Our business has increased 163% since we started working with Simon less than 2 years ago. We would, and do, recommend Simon to any business owners with whom we come into contact.”

In His Own Words

How Simon Approaches Coaching:

What are your goals with your coaching clients?

As a business advisor, my goal is to empower clients to achieve their business dreams and build stable, sellable businesses. I help provide clarity, strategy, and support tailored to each client’s unique needs. We create actionable plans aligned with strategy and values. Seeing my clients succeed and knowing I’ve done my small part to contribute to their journey is incredibly rewarding for me.

What successes have you seen your clients have?

Several clients had successful six- or seven-figure business exits. I was able to help grow businesses from solopreneurs to 25+ employees.

Why do you enjoy business coaching?

What I enjoy most about business coaching is the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of business owners and entrepreneurs. I find immense satisfaction in helping them navigate their challenges, achieve their goals, and realize their full potential. A business touches many lives, and therefore it’s a very leveraged way of utilizing my skillset.

What prompted you to become a business coach?

Truly, it was born out of a desire to help business owners be more strategic and successful with their business. I saw a lot of small business owners waste a lot of time, energy and money and felt that I could make a measurable impact.
