Meet the Operations Strategist Calling
Bullsh*t on Burnout.
If you’re done holding it all together while quietly burning out, you’re in the right place.
I know what it’s like to look like you’re crushing it while quietly wondering if you’re the one about to break.
I started in nonprofit accounting, watching brilliant, mission-driven people get steamrolled by bad systems. I fixed one process, and late payments dropped from 85% to 7% in a month. That’s when it hit me: the issue was never people. It was the system holding them back.
But even with the right people doing great work…
burnout was everywhere.
Why I Built Operations House
Smart founders. Scrappy founders. Caring founders. All running themselves into the ground.
I decided I’m not buying the myth anymore. Burnout isn’t the cost of doing meaningful work. It’s a sign the model is broken, not you.
You deserve a business that gives back what you pour in.
That’s why I built Operations House. Because nobody with a big vision should be overwhelmed by the day-to-day.
Ready to see how we help founders like you finally breathe again?
What Founders Are Saying
“A lot of consultants can design a process.
Ashley is the one who actually gets it implemented -
and never lets you lose sight of the culture you want to build.”
— Dave Ashworth, The Quantify Group.

Our Philosophy: Burnout Is a Business Model Flaw
Let’s be clear: If your business is burning you out, it’s not you. Your business model is broken.
And no amount of hacks or hustle will fix a cracked foundation. We repair and rebuild operations around real humans, measurable data, and processes that protect your energy and profit margin.
You do not have to choose between purpose and profitability.
That’s the Operations House promise.
Where Founders Get Stuck
(and How We Get You Unstuck)
Every founder gets stuck here - sometimes more than once.
-
Delegation:
Empower your team to truly own their work, so you can focus on growth, not micromanaging.
-
Sales:
Build a sales system that grows revenue without burning you out.
-
Delivery:
Create client processes that drive loyalty, and finally let you relax.
It’s not a sign of failure. It’s a sign it’s time to reset.
What We Stand For

Work should give more than it takes.
“Ashley brings a fresh, outside-the-box perspective and always creates
a non-judgmental atmosphere. Operations House has meant more to me than just a technical operations officer.”
— Frank Loughry, Parter, WKCO
