The Situation
For nearly 10 years, the founder of a specialized healthcare clinic worked tirelessly to build a respected practice focused on preventative heart health.
Despite strong expertise and positive patient outcomes, the business remained stuck at roughly:
$240,000 in annual revenue
The owner worked 60+ hours per week, managing every part of the business alone.
Growth had stalled.
The founder wasn’t looking for motivation.
They needed clarity, structure, and a path to scale.
The Breakthrough Goal
When the founder began working with Kent Boehm at Business Coaching Calgary, the objective was simple but ambitious:
Double annual revenue to $500,000.
This meant increasing monthly revenue from:
$20,000 → $40,000
And doing it without doubling the founder’s workload.

Key Strategic Moves
Working together, the founder and Kent implemented a focused plan designed to break the growth ceiling.
1. Strategic Vision and Planning
A full strategic alignment session clarified:
- Long-term business vision
• 10-year, 5-year, 3-year and 1-year targets
• Clear priorities for growth
This transformed the business from reactive decision-making to intentional growth planning.
2. Building the First Team
The business evolved from a solo operation to a small team.
This shift allowed the founder to move from technician to leader, freeing time to focus on growth rather than daily operations.
3. Public Scoreboards
Weekly metrics created visibility and accountability.
Key performance indicators included:
- Leads generated
- Appointments booked
- New client acquisition
- Average sale value
- Billable efficiency of clinical staff
Progress became measurable and predictable.
4. Market Expansion
Growth initiatives included:
- A 200-person educational event
- Targeted marketing campaigns
- Expanded service offerings
These initiatives significantly increased demand for the clinic’s services.
5. Facility Upgrade
The business relocated to a larger location to support increased capacity.
The growth from new clients quickly exceeded the increased operating costs.
6. Creating a Scalable Model
The most significant breakthrough came when the founder developed a licensing / franchise model for expansion.
This resulted in a $450,000 franchise sale, creating an entirely new growth pathway.
The Results
Within 17–20 months, the business experienced a major transformation.
Revenue
Annual sales increased from: $240,000 → $500,000+
Team
The company grew from a solo operation to a growing team.
Profit
For the first time in over a decade, the founder was able to pay themselves a competitive salary.
Expansion
The licensing model unlocked large-scale growth opportunities.
Long-Term Impact
The results continued long after the original coaching engagement.
Today:
- The original clinic generates over $1.5 million annually
- Additional locations generate over $1.2 million annually
- New locations have launched in multiple Canadian markets
What began as a small solo clinic has evolved into a multi-location healthcare brand.
Client Perspective
“After years of trying to figure everything out on my own, working with Kent gave me the roadmap I was missing. We doubled revenue, built a team, and created growth opportunities I never expected.”
