Sarah A Jacobson Coaching

✨ Big shift, better fit.

Over the past year, my business has grown and so has my clarity.
I’m no longer just “helping people do the right work” (though yes, systems are still my love language 😉).

I’m helping service-based CEOs lead differently - by building smarter systems, hiring the right support, and scaling sustainably.
Because you don’t need more advice.

You need a strategic partner who gets into the details with you.
That work deserves its own home.

📣 Come join me over at my new page: Your COO Partner

This is where I’ll be sharing:
✅ Strategic tips for hiring & delegation
✅ Behind-the-scenes of running a lean, high-impact service business
✅ Invites to free trainings (like the one I’m running on July 30!)

Whether you’ve been here since the “do it all yourself” days or you’re just getting to know my work - thanks for being in my corner. 🩷

It's taken me a lot of years to finally figure this out, but I cannot be stopped when it comes to cheering someone on.

You have a goal? Let's make it happen.
Afraid to take the next step? I've got you.
Not sure where to start? I haven't been called bossy since I was little for nothing. 😉

My kids? I'll drag you to your game if you're too tired to go.
I'll sit with you until 11pm to encourage you to finish your homework.
You will do the thing - because I believe in what’s on the other side of your effort. 🩷

My friends? Too afraid to try the thing? Not me. I'll even go skydiving with you. 🪂

And my clients?
You've got a booked out calendar, five-star reviews, and loyal customers.
But behind the scenes, your back end is held together with sticky notes, outdated Google Docs, and a prayer.

Onboarding? Manual.
Client Delivery? Too dependent on you.
Offboarding? ...what offboarding? 😵‍💫

You've outgrown your systems - but you're too deep in the day-to-day to fix them.

That's when you need me.

At 46, with a few more gray hairs and a lot less tolerance for BS, I’m crystal clear on what matters:
🩷 Doing the right work.
🩷 Leading with strategy.
🩷 Building businesses that don’t break the women who run them.

So if you’re tired of duct-taping your business together…
If you’re ready for systems that make scaling simpler, not scarier…

Let’s do the right work - together.
Your five-star offer deserves a five-star back end. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve got you.
And I won’t stop until your business runs as brilliantly as you do.

I'm ready, are you? Let's talk.

You didn’t scale to multi-6 or 7 figures to spend your days managing spreadsheets and chasing approvals.

You started it for freedom.
For impact.
For a life with more margin - not just more meetings.

But if every decision still runs through you...
If you’re still in the weeds of every system and every project...

That’s not a YOU problem.
That’s a business structure problem.

🧠💼 Strategic operations = margin, clarity, growth.
And that starts by rethinking your role, not just your task list.

Because if your calendar is full but the right things still aren’t moving...
If your team is growing but your time’s still stretched thin...

That’s a sign.
It’s time to rebuild from strategy, not from scratch.

👇 Want a second set of eyes on what’s not working?
Comment “STRATEGY” below and I’ll send over the link to book a CEO-to-COO conversation. Or just send me a DM and let's connect.

No pressure. Just clarity.
Let’s figure out what your business really needs from you - so you can finally lead with less chaos and more confidence.

Last summer, I had revenue, great clients, and real momentum. 🚀

But I also had a problem:
The whole business still ran through me.

Every client touch point.
Every project.
Every system.

I told myself I just needed a week off - a quick reset.
Instead? I got six weeks of forced rest.
Because when I stepped back, everything stalled.

That’s when I realized:
I hadn’t built a business that could scale.
I’d built one that only worked when I overworked. (And that is no business I want to run!)

So I made a decision:
No more patching holes.
It was time to rebuild.
Not from scratch, but from strategy.

I help high-capacity CEOs do the same.
As a Fractional COO, I don’t just fix workflows, I help restructure the way you lead, so the business stops depending on you. We build from strategy, not just task lists.

Here’s the question that started everything:
What system, habit, or decision point still depends on you… that really shouldn’t?

That’s where your next strategic shift begins.

For the CEO who’s scaling…but still hears “What do you think?” 3,048,938 times a day.

You’ve got a team.
You’ve got traction.
But your business still depends on you to move everything forward.

Here’s your Right Work™ Question of the Week:

👉 What system, habit, or decision point still depends on you… that really shouldn’t?
And what’s keeping you from changing it?

This is the kind of question that changes how you lead - not someday, but right now.

Drop your confession below. 👇

My superpower? Helping you stop working so dang hard on the wrong things.

Not because you’re lazy.
Not because you don’t care.
But because your business is running on half-finished systems, sticky notes, and crossed fingers.

I know the signs - because I’ve lived them.

A few years ago, I was juggling client work, a million ideas, and a color-coded to-do list that made me feel productive (but never got me anywhere).

I was exhausted.
Busy every minute...and still behind.
Until I realized: the work wasn’t the problem.
It was what I was working on.

Now?
I help my clients get honest about what’s actually happening behind the scenes.
We clean up the clutter.
We build systems that serve their business and their brain.

It always starts with spotting the pattern.

🎯 That’s what the TypeTrap™ Quiz is for.

Because doing the right work will change your business.
(And your weekends.)

Last summer, I promised myself I’d slow down.
I even carved out a full week off - a cruise with my family.

But a week before the trip, I was already in chaos.
Scrambling to finish client work.
Trying to prep social media posts at a frantic pace.
Hoping I could hold it all together with my scribbled out to do list and sticky notes.

A friend called me out.
And later that night, I told my husband -
“I can’t keep going like this. Something has to give.”

I thought the cruise would fix it.
The rest. The break. The escape.
But when we landed back in Denver?
I hit a wall. Hard.

I got sick.
And didn’t get better for six weeks.

God didn’t suggest rest.
He forced it.

I had to pause everything.
And when I finally had the energy to come back?
I knew I couldn’t rebuild the same way.

Next week I’ll show you what changed.
But if your brain already feels like scrambled eggs this summer…
If you’re chasing momentum and dropping your most important work…

You’re not failing.
You’re just stuck in scramble mode.

✨ Start by seeing the pattern.

👉 Comment QUIZ and I’ll send you the TypeTrap™ Quiz.
It’ll show you the trap your brain defaults to - and how to finally shift out of it, before you end up on the couch for six weeks like me. 💔

You know what needs to get done.
You want to get it done.
But your brain is playing ping-pong between:
🧠 “Plan the system.”
🧠 “Pick the tool.”
🧠 “Just get it out already.”

That task you keep meaning to finish?
The one you keep skipping?

It’s not a discipline problem.
It’s not a time problem.
It’s a system problem.

Because your brain isn’t built to brainstorm, plan, and execute all at once.

That’s not a productivity hack - it’s a burnout trap.

💡 The good news? There’s a way out.

Take the TypeTrap™ Quiz to find your scramble type...and see exactly where your process is breaking down (so you can stop spinning and start finishing).

⏱️ 5 minutes. Clear next steps. Real relief.

💬 Comment “QUIZ” and I’ll send it your way.

There’s always that one thing that slips when your brain’s overloaded - especially in the middle of the summer scramble. 😎

You’re juggling summer camp drop-offs, teenage snack marathons, and onboarding your next client… all from the front seat of your car.

👉 So...what’s the first task that drops, even though you know it matters?
👉 The one you mean to do, but never actually finish.
👉 The one you tell yourself, “I’ll circle back to it…”

Content batching?
Email follow-ups?
Systems clean-up?

It’s like confession…
except without the priest.
Or the guilt.
Or 10 Hail Marys. 🕯️📿🙏

What's the biggest change you've seen in your industry in the last year? I'll go first. 👇

Today's my birthday. And the best birthday gift? Saying YES to the right work for me. 🩷

Suzanne Stabile asks the question, "What's my work to do?" And I've been spending the last 6 years trying to answer that question for myself.

5 years ago I was burned out, suffering from major health issues, and missing time with my family. I loved my job, but I was overworked, had zero margin, and was craving a way to get more flexibility back in my life.

4 years ago, I took a leap (or maybe felt a push from God), quit my job after 20 years of being in public education - and said YES to God's invitation to start a business.

Did I go kicking and screaming? Maybe.

But would I trade the last 5 years for anything? Not a chance.

By doing the right work for me...

🩷I've been present with my kids after school.
🩷I've said YES every time they have needed me - without guilt or wondering if I had enough PTO.
🩷I've grown closer to God in quiet time and study.
🩷I've said YES to family members who needed me - and shown up without having to constantly watch my computer or my phone.
🩷I've spent time with Joel - daily walks and cribbage games and deep conversations we had missed when I was working 24/7.

Was it the right work for me? Yes.
Is it the right step for you? I have no idea.
But helping you find the right work for you and your business is what I love to do.

Take the leap - it's terrifying, amazing, scary, and marvelous, all wrapped up in one big ball of joy.

What's the right work for you?
