    Certified Exit Planning Strategist

    NAVIX helps business owners navigate and achieve happy exits. We have learned that successful exits require planning and execution. Business owners who neglect to plan have fewer options and risk losing control of the process. Those who do not execute face falling short of their goals. We are unique because we help navigate both exit planning and execution, getting both the owner and business ready for exit on their own terms.After watching countless owners struggle to achieve successful exits, we have developed a better way. Using our proprietary process, we strive to create a world where owners achieve financial freedom, create a sustained business legacy, and exit at a time and manner of their choosing.Contact me at brett@mytruenorthconsulting.com or 650.346.8176.

    Business owners and leaders are in the business of making decisions; however, most lack the tools, visibility, and understanding on how to make the "right" decisions, especially when it comes to understanding how each decision is a reflection of them, their morals, and standards. Each decision you make could either enhance or dilute your corporate culture and what you have worked so hard to build.Founded in 2014, True North Consulting operates under the premise that there is a better way. By first driving down to a leader's core values, you then use that as the base for building a better leader, better business owner, and overall better life. Our tools and processes have been developed to support this belief. We call it finding your True North.
