Hotel Investor • Author & Systems Consultant
Last year, I bought a hotel at a 40% discount.
Not because it was failing. Because the owner was trapped in operations.
The GM called him 4x per day. No systems. No SOPs. He WAS the business.
I spent 90 days installing systems. Now that hotel runs without me.
I check a dashboard once per week. That's it.
If you're a hotel owner working 80-hour weeks, I can help you do the same.

The Problem Most Hotel Owners Face
You're not running a hotel. You're trapped in one.
→ Staff call you 5x per day with "urgent" questions→ You can't take 2 weeks off without things falling apart→ Revenue grows, but you're working harder, not smarter→ Buyers discount your hotel 40–60% because it's "owner-dependent"

→ Staff call you 5x per day with "urgent" questions→ You can't take 2 weeks off without things falling apart→ Revenue grows, but you're working harder, not smarter→ Buyers discount your hotel 40–60% because it's "owner-dependent"
Hotels with systems sell for 5x EBITDA.
Same hotel. Different systems. Massive difference in value.
Same hotel. Different systems. Massive difference in value.
The Solution: Build a Hotel That Runs Without You
Most hotel owners are trapped because they built a business that needs them.
I help you build a business that works without you.
Here's what that looks like:
→ Your GM stops calling you 4x per day with "urgent" questions→ Staff handle 80% of decisions without your approval→ You take a 30-day vacation and revenue stays flat (or grows)→ Your hotel's valuation increases 40-60% because it's "transferable"→ When you're ready to scale to Hotel #2, you're not trapped in Hotel #1
This isn't theory. It's the exact system I used in my own hotel.
And it's what I help hotel owners implement through consulting, courses, and software.
