You went into business to control your own destiny and build a secure future for yourself and your family.  You wanted to enjoy the ride!  Instead, the obstacles and headaches feel overwhelming.  This isn’t what you wanted – or expected.


Through candid conversations, strategic guidance, and proven tools, I help business owners cut through the noise—so you can lead with clarity, restore balance, and scale with confidence.

I'm Eric Detmer:
a Certified Business Guide.

Sleepless nights. Giving most of my energy to my work and less to my family. Hitting many of the same business obstacles over and over again. Sound familiar?

In my case, I was doing this in a third-generation family business, which seemed to make matters even worse in my eyes. I was busy working in the business and not on the business. I had to refocus my priorities and vision – both personally and professionally – to get my head back above water. It was the only way I could achieve the work-life balance I so desired.

Fast forward to today: I own and operate two successful businesses and employ approximately 100 team members. I relied on the guidance of my advisors to get me to this point in my career, and now I would like to help you do the same for your business.
