"Kristy's Start Knowing Your Numbers course was amazing!! The format of how it was taught and broken up into the different sections help make it manageable to get through and go back through and review when needed.  I myself am also very analytical and like knowing exactly where I am with my numbers so this course was helpful in filling in the gaps I was not sure about! "

 

JOHN, STUDENT OF START KNOWING MY NUMBERS BUSINESS COURSE

"Thanks to this course, we were able to save WAY more than needed to make the move easily and then quickly turn around and buy our first home in Northern Colorado in our mid-twenties (which was a HUGE deal given the housing market towards the end of 2021."

 

COURT, STUDENT OF START KNOWING MY NUMBERS BUSINESS COURSE

"Knowing my numbers" is something that has always seemed intimidating to me - especially when I was in a lot of debt. Kristy makes numbers so much less scary, and I've gone from feeling clueless to confident in one short weekend after taking this course. I'm ready to be a lot smarter and more strategic about saving for my future home and retirement. I WISH I KNEW THIS 10 YEARS AGO."

Frequently Asked Questions

AUTHORITY ON BUSINESS SYSTEMS

Kristy Gayton

 

What qualifies me?

I love business. How the interworkings all work together and how a simple idea with enough heart can turn into your life. It's like a game…and if you play it right, you can scale up and gain freedom via your profits. But you have to understand the moving parts and be informed in order to make the right decisions. You CAN do what you love and are called to do through providing a service or product for others, while at the same time having a comfortable lifestyle. I believe my life, journey, and gifts are meant to help others find that freedom through organized efforts and operations.


I have sold multiple entities in various categories and still actively run four companies. I have also sold companies for face value, launched ideas that didn't work, and lost thousands. All part of the journey and plan. But I can speak about scaling companies to seven figures in one year, and I also can speak about seeing and deciding when it is time to let go.

I LOVE the idea that at the drop of a hat, we can take control of our lives, create change, and take control of our schedule and our destiny by creating our own businesses. Business ownership though is not for the faint of heart. It takes understanding, organization, and focused efforts to make it. 45% of businesses fail in the first five years, and I believe many leave so much money on the table by not running their marketing or operations efficiently. A big piece is not understanding their numbers and profits and where to put their efforts, and that is where I know I can help!

I am at a place in my life where I know my many years of varied experience are meant to be utilized to help others succeed. You don’t know what you don’t know, and I can guarantee that by being part of theSTARTapproach, I will help you make the right decisions, and save you time and money. We have designed a program to help you START and APPROACH your business like you never have before!
