Training tracks
EXECT focuses on optimizing businesses by addressing three key areas: Products, People, and Money. Let's break down what this means.
> Products/Services
This refers to the company's goods, including products and services. This involves a direct focus on the company's signature good or MVP and determining what goods are being offered (product list), how much (quantity), at what rate (price), and when (frequency).
> People
Optimizing the "People" aspect means improving the organization's human resources plans. This includes identifying personnel needs, determining staff goals and KPIs, and developing compensation plans.
> Money
The "Money" aspect is about financial optimization. This could involve managing finances more efficiently, reducing unnecessary costs, improving cash flow, optimizing pricing strategies, and making investment decisions that align with the company's goals.
The Trifecta
Incorporating these three pillars - Products, People, and Money - into a company's outlook, structure, and goals can help it become more competitive, sustainable, and profitable. It's a holistic approach that looks at various facets of the business to drive improvement and growth. EXECT offers tailored solutions to help businesses excel in these areas.

FINANCIAL MOTIVATIONS Starts The Process
Our process begins by exploring the financial motivations of the business owner then using their compensation goal as an anchor to map out the financial roadmap of the business.
Financial Roadmaps is the goal
Our roadmaps, also known as Profit Plans, display how much money is expected to flow in and out of the business to be in financial alignment with the owner's compensation.
These plans include built-in profit margins and create room for all of your foreseeable business expenses. Profit Plans ultimately ensure that businesses move away from breaking even and towards sustainability.
The key benefits of a Profit Plan is analysis, feedback, guidance which results in peace of mind that allows businesses to launch, scale and improve profits.

Some ETS sessions are designed for owners only, while others are for owners and staff. As long as the session says for staff in the process description, you are golden.
Am I expected to Pay For All 5-steps upfront?
No. You are only expected to pay for 1 step at a time. Steps 1 and 2 are the only steps that are offered as a pack and billed together. When you move to step 3, you will request an invoice for step 3 and you will only be billed for step 3. Same process for steps 4 and 5.
Can I purchase Step 1 without STep 2?
In the event that you only need to develop a personal financial plan without a financial plan for your business, purchasing Step 1 without Step 2 is an option. Your request will be discussed with a strategist on during your free consultation. If you need step 2 but are not ready to make the financial commitment, it is not recommended that you purchase step 1 in the interim. If you need steps 1 and 2, it is best to wait to purchase them as a pack to get the most value out of the sessions as intended in the sessions design.

You Don'T Have to TACKLE BUSINESS Alone.
When small businesses launch, business owners typically wear multiple hats beyond their immediate capacity. This developmental experience can be exciting at first, but from a strategic viewpoint, this can set businesses back.
It is important to know your strengths and to know which roles are beyond your interest and/or capacity. You don't have to go at it alone.
EXECT helps small business owners:
- explore business opportunities
- design business concepts
- create human-centered solutions

You don't have to Fail to Win.
Once an operations based leader or team is ready to design how the business will achieve its mission, financial efficiency is a core principle of operations. But financial efficiency doesn’t exclusively mean cost-cutting. It means using whatever tools are available to improve revenue, customer value, productivity, and performance.
The traditional way of small business learning is to fail until you get it right. EXECT believes you don't have to fail to win.
EXECT teaches entrepreneurs how to:
- pay owners
- manage and pay staff
- improve operational inefficiencies
- set pricing
- set revenue goals

Foundation Sessions
Our Foundation Session is a great place to discover
all of the benefits our firm has to offer.
Profit Plans help founders become clear on the experience they want to create through their business and develop a financial ecosystem that supports it.
Profit Plans is a process followed by a product. The profit plan process is initiated by a single conversation that explores the vision of the business and leads to the creation of a financial framework that governs money flowing in and out of the business. Budgets and forecasts are developed from the financial framework and this data is succinctly placed in a Profit Plan report.
Profit Plans focus on finances associated with Business Ownership and Business Management including :
- Owners Compensation
- Sales / Revenue
- Marketing
- Payroll
- Operating Expenses
- Taxes
- Profit Margins
Profit plans provide key financial data needed for funding requests, product launches, expansions, acquisitions, pricing, marketing, sales, hiring, and so much more.
Profit Plans allow small businesses to envision change.
- Owners get to examine their business vision and select a compatible financial strategy and execution strategy.
- Owners get to explore compensation models and select the payout that aligns with their financial needs.
- Owners gain clarity on their current ownership style and the ways it can help or hurt their business.
- Owners get the opportunity to adjust and become better aligned with their ultimate goal.
- Through the process, business owners get to determine if they want to “work on their business” or “work in their business”.
Profit Plans combines simplistic Q&A, exploration and discovery, projections, alignment, and a white board (of course).
For the first time, entrepreneurs receive clarity, direction, and peace of mind.
The entire client experience is known to be thought provoking, simplistic, and effective.
A Message From Ty Toopet,
The Founder of ExecT
Hi, my name is Ty Toopet and Entrepreneurship is my Jam!
I am a strategist with 12+ years experience designing financial runways for business concepts. I started EXECT, formerly known as ExecTalentSource, to help companies build million dollar runways for their business concepts.
EXECT gained it stripes by working with enterprise companies and roughly 6 years in, I decided to shift the direction away from enterprise companies and over to entrepreneurs. I wanted to invest into the development of inexperienced founders to teach them how to be more than creators and sales people.
It is my desire to see founders evolve into business architects. EXECT strategists bring founders into the fold to create a baseline around what it means to build, test, launch, and scale concepts.
We are dedicated to helping founders tackle business ownership, so they aren’t left to figure it out. The fact is, historically, only 20% of them do. Leaving 80% of small businesses out of business within 5-years of launching.
