Owners build the asset PE firms would buy — at the level of engagement that matches the work ahead.
From self-paced digital work to multi-year board-level engagements. Same methodology. Different room.
Same methodology. Different room.
Yourself first. Second your business. Because it starts with you.
Most owners arrive having done some version of personal work — a coach, a book, a retreat. The work touches the same topics: direction, identity, values. But it lands somewhere different. AG45's owner spine isn't the destination. It's the foundation.
The Ownership Blueprint™ is a self-directed digital application of the True Ownership™ methodology — the same five disciplines AG45 applies in its flagship engagements, structured into a 45-day digital experience for solopreneurs and owners ready to do the foundational work themselves.
Phase 1 builds the owner spine. Phase 2 builds the business spine on top of it. Each phase stands on its own; together they produce the full Blueprint.
Four non-competing owners. One AG45 strategist. The room becomes the Board.
You're the leader and the operator. The room changes that. Most peer groups are masterminds — neutral facilitators keeping the conversation going. The Circle is different. An AG45 strategist leads the room, applying the True Ownership™ methodology to each member's work.
A small group is the point. Four members, not eight. Non-competing businesses, not adjacent. Strategist-led, not facilitated. The composition is what makes the Circle work — and what makes AG45 selective about who gets in. The Circle is a 12-month commitment — because real progress compounds, and the work isn't a one-and-done event. Application and fit call required.
The structure that turns a peer group into a Board — and a Board into accountable strategic discipline.
One strategist who knows your business deeply. Board-level advisors behind the scene.
The bridge between peer challenge and full Strategic Council work. For owners who want a senior strategist who knows the business deeply — and the structural support of AG45's broader bench, without managing it as separate engagements. The complexity stays behind the scene.
A single relationship at the center: you and your Lead Strategist, working monthly on strategic priorities, leadership decisions, and structural choices. When the work calls for specialist depth, your strategist pulls in advisors from AG45's broader bench. You don't manage them. Your strategist does.
A working cadence built around one strategist — and the firm's full bench behind them, when the work calls for it.
A multi-year engagement — typically 3 to 5 years — that prepares the owner to break free of the business. Succession, sale, or going passive while retaining ownership.
Most advisory engagements give you one strategist. Leader Run™ gives you a Board. A Lead Strategist anchors the relationship; a team of advisors is assembled around them — drawn from across functional, financial, transactional, and external-relationship specialties. The composition depends on the business.
The work doesn't optimize for one outcome. It prepares the business — and the owner — for whichever path fits their life, their family, and their economics. The choice belongs to the owner, not the firm. Three legitimate paths: pass it on, sell it, or stay involved without operating.
A multi-year engagement built around the owner — with a Board of Advisors and the firm's full methodology applied at the highest altitude.
The right altitude isn't about ambition. It's about what the work actually calls for right now.
Start with the audit, or start with a conversation. Both lead to the right room.
