It's a no-brainer that successful businesses & companies have implemented foundational systems to help them

Start Grow and Scale

Years ago, I met a man who wanted to create a portable ventilator to give the villages in rural Kenya access to life-saving medical care.

Shortly after, I befriended a woman who wanted to preserve the knowledge of dying elders for future generations to benefit.

I even learned depths of love and understanding from a person who uses photography to highlight the beauties of people with disabilities.

All worthy pursuits…but one year, two years, three years later—

Where are their businesses?

Some are slightly further along.

Some have fallen backwards.

And some have stayed stagnant.

All the brilliant ideas and dreams these visionaries had hoped to use to change the world aren’t changing anything…

Because ideas without pointed action can feel…pointless.

The WHY will never outpower the HOW.

As Author Simon Sinek once said:

"Genius is in the idea.

Impact, however, comes from action."

Hey Player!

I’m Nikki McKnight (she/her) –your badass and full of sass Operations Magician + Game Master behind The Essential Systems Launch Pad.

I’ve spent over a decade working with million dollar entrepreneurs, multi-billion dollar retailers, and energetic startup companies to improve their processes, drive communication, and build powerhouses of teams.

My top goal is to help world changers actually change the world–by figuring out how we can set these changes a flight.

Your why is the endless ocean of possibilities and outcomes between now to the future of your services for clients, companies, and business.

Your how is the cruise ship that sails them to each island without worrying about rough waters and stormy seas.

"I was stuck in a business model that COVID has ravaged so I knew that I had to evolve my business. I didn't know how to get there. I needed an expert like Nikki, who has the strategies, tactics, tools, and the ways to make your business more effective and efficient. It's been phenomenal. There's a lot of people that talk the big talk, but she gets it done, and she pushes through to the finish line, and she did it in such a way that exceeded by expectations."
