Challenge
After hitting $1M in revenue, co-founders Rich and Kathy Fettke felt overwhelmed and burned out. Growth brought confusion roles weren’t defined, communication was breaking down, and culture was slipping.
Turning Point
Joining the Elite Forum helped them rebuild from the inside out bringing clarity, alignment, and leadership confidence.
Transformation
- Introduced clear roles and org chart for accountability
- Implemented quarterly retreats and planning rhythms
- Rebuilt their company purpose, mission, and culture
- Shifted focus to working on the business instead of in it
“Elite Forum transformed our culture. Everyone feels like an owner now we’re a true team, aligned on purpose and mission.”
Rich Fettke, Founder
Result
Within a year, Real Wealth Network more than doubled revenue and built a strong, happy, mission-driven team. Rich and Kathy even enjoyed a month-long Europe trip while the business ran smoothly without them.
