For over 30 years, we've watched talented, hardworking business owners pour everything into their companies—only to feel trapped by the very success they built.
They're doing $500,000, $2 million, even $5 million in revenue. From the outside, they look successful.
But inside? They're stressed about cash flow every month. They're working 60-70 hour weeks. They're making critical decisions based on gut feel instead of data. Their team doesn't share their vision or values. And they're wondering if it's all worth it.
We knew there had to be a better way.

Lamppost Leadership was born from a simple but powerful belief: business ownership should create freedom, not steal it.
Founded by Joshua Purcell - MBA, we've spent decades helping business owners transform chaos into clarity. After seeing too many talented entrepreneurs burn out, settle for "profitable but broke," or build businesses that succeed financially but fail to create the impact and legacy they envisioned, we created a different model.
One that doesn't just fix your financials or improve your operations—but integrates financial expertise, cash management discipline, strategic planning, leadership development, AND culture building into a single, cohesive partnership.
Because we believe business isn't just about making money. It's about stewarding resources well, serving others excellently, and building something that leaves a lasting impact—on your family, your team, your community, and the lives you touch.
