I help business owners doing $5M to $100M+ in annual revenue break through the growth wall by helping them grow personally, lead their teams effectively, and build businesses structured to scale. Because the next level of your business requires the next level of you as a leader.
Let me save us both some time: I'm not for every business. I'm for a specific kind of owner.
I work best with owners of $5M–$50M and $100M+ companies who are genuinely good at this and have slammed into a wall they can't think their way through. Here's what thousands of business owners have taught me: the business grows to a certain level and then just stops, and it's almost never the market, and it's almost never effort. It's that the business outgrew the person running it. That's your growth wall. And I'll tell you up front: you will not break it by working more hours. You've already tried that.
You're Cole's kind of client if:
- You're scaling a real company, $5M and climbing toward $50M, $100M, and beyond, with a team and real revenue, and the growth has gotten heavier, not easier.
- You've poured everything into the business and quietly let the other two slide, who you are as a person, and how you lead, and it's catching up with you.
- You actually want to be challenged. You want the hard questions and the truth, plus someone in your corner who refuses to let you play small.
- You're building something that reflects your values, not just a bigger number on a spreadsheet.
The way I like to talk about it is this: most coaches work on your business. I work on all three things at once, you, your leadership, and your business, because that's the only place real momentum comes from.
Thousands of owners in, here's the pattern I see every single time. Every owner is really three pillars stacked on top of each other: your personal life, your faith, your family, your fitness, who you are when nobody's watching. Your leadership, how you actually show up for your team. And the business, the systems, the strategy, the numbers. Most owners are obsessed with that third pillar and have let the first two go. So the business climbs to a level… and stalls. It has to. It can't outgrow the person standing at the center of it.
My job is to grow all three at once, so the business can keep scaling and stop slamming into that wall. And I'll tell you exactly what you're signing up for: I'm direct. I will ask you hard questions. I will push you in ways you probably haven't been pushed before. But make no mistake, I'm also your biggest champion. I'll believe in you harder than you believe in yourself right now, and my entire job is to close the gap between where you are and where you already know you could be.
The whole model, every coach: every EXM coach works the full 3D Momentum Model: Direction, Design, and Dynamic. Cole goes deepest on the people, and the leader at the center of them. A business doesn’t have problems; it has people. When the leader grows, the whole organization follows.
3D Momentum Model →BUILDING A BETTER BUSINESS STARTS WITH BUILDING A BETTER LEADER. I'VE DEDICATED MY CAREER TO BOTH.
I've spent my career studying, building, and helping others achieve higher levels of performance in business and in life.
With an MBA, advanced business certifications, and experience building my own companies, I understand both the strategy behind scaling a business and the challenges that come with actually doing it.
As a former Division I athlete, 100-mile ultramarathoner, and lifelong competitor, I've learned firsthand the discipline, mindset, and commitment required to perform at a high level. My background as a pastor has also given me years of experience leading, developing, and helping people grow into their potential.
Through All Pro CEO, the company I founded, I've focused on helping business owners grow personally, develop as leaders, and elevate their performance. At EXM Coaching, I bring that same passion for developing people into the process of building stronger teams and businesses designed to scale.
My philosophy is simple: Businesses don't have problems. People do. And when leaders grow, organizations follow.
That belief shapes how I coach. Sustainable growth requires an owner who continues to develop, a team equipped to execute, and a business structured to support the next level of success.

Don't take my word for it. That's not how I'd want you to decide anyway.
I believe the true measure of coaching is the impact it makes. Not just in revenue and profitability, but in how you lead, how your team operates, and the freedom you have to enjoy what you've built.
My goal has always been to help business owners achieve meaningful, lasting growth in both their businesses and their lives.
But rather than tell you about the impact, I'd rather let the people I've worked with share their experiences.

Who does Cole Taylor work best with?
Owners of $5M–$50M and $100M+ companies who are good at what they do but have hit a growth wall they can’t push past by working more hours. Cole’s specialty is the leader at the center of the business, he helps owners grow personally, as leaders, and as operators at the same time, because the business can only scale as fast as the person running it. Industry matters far less to Cole than whether the owner is ready to grow themselves.
Where is Cole based, and who can he coach?
Cole is based in Tulsa, OK, and works with clients nationwide. Coaching is done in a rhythm that fits a busy owner’s schedule, so location isn’t a barrier.
What is Cole's coaching style?
Direct and challenging, paired with genuine belief in you. In his words: “I’m very direct. I’m going to ask you hard questions and push you in ways you maybe haven’t been pushed before. But I’m also going to be your biggest champion.” His job, as he puts it, is to close the gap between where you are and where you already know you could be.
What framework does Cole use?
EXM’s 3D Momentum Model, a triangle of Direction, Design, and Dynamic that all have to hold. Cole is strongest on the Dynamic side: the people, purpose, process, and performance underneath the leader and the team. His starting belief: a business doesn’t have problems; it has people, and people have problems.
What happens on the first call?
A straight, no-pressure conversation about where your business is, where you want to take it, and whether Cole is the right coach for the job. If he’s not a fit, he’ll tell you. If he is, he’ll walk you through how he’d approach your situation, starting with the 3D Diagnostic.
Does Cole have client testimonials?
