Most business strategists help you scale at all costs. I help you scale the right things so you can protect what matters.
The Success Trap You
Didn’t See Coming
You’re successful on paper but trapped in reality:
âś— Working nights & weekends
“just to catch up”
âś— Always “on”
– never fully present at home or work
âś— Feeling like your failing
at everything despite your achievements
âś— Success feels hollow
when you’re missing the moments that matter
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. And it’s not your fault…
The real problem isn’t time management. It’s misalignment.
Your responsibilities are working against each other instead of supporting your vision for both business and family success.
The Strategic Realignment Process
Most entrepreneurs try to optimize the wrong things.
They add more tools, hire more people, or work longer hours. But until you align your operations with what you actually want from your business and life, you’ll stay trapped.
Here’s how we fix it:
Vision & Standards Clarity
Define what you actually want from your business, home, and legacy – then set identity-based standards that guide every decision.
misalignment diagnosis
Identify the specific responsibilities that conflict with who you want to be and drain your energy most.
Apply ROAD Method
Strategic solutions using Remove, Optimize, Automate, or Delegate to realign each misalignment.
systems integration
Implement the right support structures and processes for sustainable scaling without sacrificing family time.
Hi, I’m Lauren Apple.
Business Realignment Strategist for CEO Parents
I know what it’s like to build a successful business that feels like a prison.
Thursday night, mac and cheese again. Phone rings during dinner – another “emergency.” I leave my family at the table, handle the crisis, and overhear my kids ask my husband: “Why is Mom always working?”
That was my wake-up call. I was successful on paper but trapped in reality.
The solution wasn’t working harder or finding better time management tricks. It was strategic realignment.
Now I help CEO parents like you identify the specific misalignments keeping you trapped and create systems that support both business growth AND family presence.
My approach is different because:
- I’m a mom of 5 who understands the juggling act
- I focus on realignment, not just optimization
- I help you work WITH your family priorities, not against them
- I’ve helped over 100 CEO parents reclaim their time while scaling revenue
When you’re ready to stop choosing between business success and family presence, I’m here to show you how.

“It was crazy. After 45 minutes with Lauren I finally saw how my business could reach the next level, and in only 60 days.”
Oh my gosh! Systems to Scale has helped me so much! They not only helped me find a great VA, but they set up my systems to make them more efficient, they helped organize the transition from my previous VA and they created a game plan to move forward and took it all from there! I’m so excited I got the opportunity to work with them.
