Your Facilitators
-
Business Coach. Former CEO. Systems Thinker.
John has coached business owners for over 25 years — helping them grow, delegate, and get their time back. He’s run companies himself, including as a remote CEO of a company he owned for 23 years. He's a founder & past president of the International Coaching Federation, the author of Output Thinking, and has worked with hundreds of founders across industries.
His specialty? Making complex ideas simple — and helping owners become the kind of leaders their business actually needs.
-
CEO of Decada Group. Operator. Builder of durable businesses.
Chase leads Decada Group, a long-term holding company that acquires and grows small businesses. He’s built and led companies across industries — from construction and trades to education and finance — and brings a no-BS approach to systems, leadership, and financial clarity.
Chase created The Operator Accelerator to give business owners the structure he wishes he had earlier in his own journey.
-
COO at Decada Group. Zero-to-One Expert. Scrappy, Hands-On Operator.
Adam is the COO of Decada Group and a seasoned operator who’s spent his entire career in the trenches — building from scratch, fixing what’s broken, and driving results.
He’s an expert marketer and a zero-to-one entrepreneur at heart, with deep experience implementing systems, hiring and managing teams, running cash flow, and doing the gritty work that scaling a business actually requires.
-
Operating Partner. CEO Coach. Advisor to Leaders in the Trenches.
Peter is Decada Group’s operating partner and a CEO coach at Durable, where he supports business owners working through real challenges in real time. His career started in education, moved through tech, and ultimately found its purpose in supporting operators — helping leaders grow into the role their business needs next.
With a calm, grounded approach and a sharp eye for clarity and communication, Peter is the person founders call when they need a sounding board who’s been there before.
The Operator Accelerator brings a unique blend of experience, perspective, and practical insight. We don’t teach theory — we transfer what works.

Inside the Accelerator
Get ready to put real work into your business
Every other week, you’ll join a live 2–3 hour workshop with a small group of serious operators.
These aren’t passive lectures — they’re structured, high-engagement sessions where you learn, build, and apply in real time.
Live, on-camera workshops — not recordings
Instruction + group coaching
Breakouts and hands-on work time
A structured curriculum tied to the core functions of your business
Tools, templates, and playbooks you’ll actually use
Start with a Scoreboard. End with a Stronger Business.
You’ll see where you're strong, where you're exposed, and what to fix to build a company that runs without constant firefighting.
In the final session, we revisit your score — so you can measure the real progress you’ve made in structure, clarity, and control.
We kick off the Accelerator with a Durability Assessment — a diagnostic we use at Decada Group to evaluate our own companies.
It scores your business across leadership, operations, finance, team, and more.
A Taste of the Curriculum
Over a dozen live workshops & playbooks built to help you:
Understand your numbers and make faster decisions
Build a team you trust — and a system to lead them
Install processes that scale
Lead with more structure, clarity, and control
Drive repeatable revenue growth
Improve cash flow and financial stability
Step out of the weeds — and into the role your business needs next
Each workshop is focused, practical, and built around what actually moves the needle.
-
Most owners are buried in the weeds — reacting instead of leading.
This workshop helps you take control of your calendar, delegate more effectively, and refocus on the work only you can do.
You’ll walk away with:
A personal time management system, a task allocation map, and a CEO operating rhythm that puts you back in control. -
You don’t need a finance degree — but you do need to know your numbers.
In this session, you’ll learn how to build a budget, manage cash, and make faster decisions using the right financial metrics.
You’ll walk away with:
A 13-week cash flow model, a revenue model for your business, and a simple budgeting framework you’ll actually use. -
Revenue shouldn’t depend on luck or hustle.
This session breaks down how to attract the right customers, convert them consistently, and build a marketing and sales system that runs without you.
You’ll walk away with:
A clear go-to-market strategy, a mapped sales funnel, and a repeatable process to drive growth month after month. -
Over a dozen hands-on workshops focused on helping you master the critical functions that drive your business forward.
The Operator Accelerator is for you if…
You’re running a business with $1–15M in revenue
You’re full-time in the business but can carve out time to step back and build
You want structure, clarity, and systems you can trust
You’re tired of trial and error and want to accelerate the next few years of learning.
We vet every applicant and limit the group to those who are serious.
If you’re in, it means you belong.
Why Enroll?
Learn in six months what business owners take years to master.
You’ve figured a lot out. But not everything.
Most business owners learn the hard way — by making mistakes, missing numbers, or burning out. This program compresses those lessons into six focused months, so you can:
Lead with more confidence
Build systems that scale
Make faster, better decisions
Spend more time on the business — not buried in it
What makes The Operator Accelerator different?
We’ve stripped out the corporate fluff and built the kind of program we wish we had when we started. It’s real-world, operator-driven, and built for immediate impact.
