Bill McDevitt, MBA — Founder & Small Business Coach
Meet Your Coach
Hi, I'm Bill — small business coach and founder of Top of the World Coaching. Wherever your company is today, I help you grow as an entrepreneur, franchise owner, or executive.
Seasoned or just starting out, you'll get a strategy that actually works. Your success is my success — together we'll build a plan that lifts your ROI and gets you working on your business instead of in it.
The approach
How I Help
40+ years, focused on your goals
40+ years across franchises and entrepreneurship as a strategic thinker and planner — guiding for-profit and nonprofit organizations toward their short- and long-term goals. I work across industries to improve ROI using proven methods that stay focused on your objectives, not my beliefs — defining your goals, clarifying your vision, and building actionable plans you can implement.
A process built for busy leaders
You wear a lot of hats. My process is streamlined to respect your time: a series of video calls, accountability plans, visual tracking, and reward systems that keep you developing your business, not buried inside it.
I also facilitate off-site team meetings and best-practice panels. If your leadership team could use a fresh set of eyes, let's talk — I'll work with your executive team to streamline processes and improve the bottom line.
Is this you?
How Can I Help You?
If you're considering a business coach, you're in the right place. If you answer "yes" to most of these, we're probably a good fit.
Let's Talk!- Are you a small business owner committed to growth?
- Are you ready to commit to receiving outside help from a coach?
- Are you ready to transition to the next stage of growing your business, which will require strategic thinking, focus, and execution?
- Are you ready to welcome outside support to bridge the gap between where your business is now and where you want it to be?
- Do you feel stuck or always busy working in your business instead of on your business and need help moving forward?
The four zones
Take the First Step to Growing Your Business
Growth happens across four zones: Comfort, Fear, Learning, Growth. Most owners sit in comfort — which is exactly why nothing changes. In business, if you're not growing, you're declining, and you can't grow with only what you already know. I'll help you push through fear and learning to reach sustainable growth.
01
Comfort
Accepting of the way things are because you don't know any other
02
Fear
I refer to this as the "yeah, but" zone… yeah, but that won't work
03
Learning
Improve your skill level
04
Growth
Commit to and implement what you've learned
The difference
Why Work With Me?
I have extensive experience working with launching and established small business owners.
I put the focus on you, the client — I ask questions to get to know you and your specific needs.
Based on your needs, I will help you find and focus on areas that will increase your profitability.
Together we will create a plan to increase your productivity by helping you refine your focus on areas that will move your business forward.
I am not power-hungry. Working with franchisees has allowed me to hone my skills to inspire with influence instead of power.
