Building Scalable Systems For Small Businesses

We help companies streamline and automate their operations, so they can grow as fast as they want.

Our Process

Step 1:

Strategic Process Mapping

Step 2:

Conversion Engine

Step 3:

Automation & Optimization

We begin with a deep audit of your current workflows, creating an automation-ready business map. This ensures efficiency and alignment before implementing automation.

We design structured workflows to streamline operations, track key metrics, and enhance visibility. This enables your team to self-manage, leadership to monitor KPIs, and clients to receive transparent progress reports.

Using the insights from Step 2, we implement automation, operational improvements, and dashboards in agile sprints. This keeps your business adaptable and responsive as it scales.

We Are Scaling Lean

This is a note from your Founders, Nina Brennan & Jonathan Ploransky.

Our Story

In 2022, we founded Scaling Lean with a clear mission:

To help small businesses scale with lean teams, lean systems, and high profit margins.

We watched as business owners were fed the same old advice — "Join a high-level mastermind," they’d say.

"Invest in yourself," they’d pressure.

But behind the scenes, we saw what was really happening:

🚨 $25k - $60k Buy-Ins for 'Coaching' That Wasn’t Coaching

🚨 Group Calls Where Nobody Knew Your Business

🚨 Overhyped Events & Little Actionable Strategy

🚨 Sales Bros Making Fat Commissions While Business Owners Struggled

Why We Built Something Better.

We fell for it too.

The first time, we spent $40,000 on a mastermind—after already dropping $18,000 on an initial program.

We were new in business and believed that if I wanted to succeed, we had to pay to be in the right rooms.

That program? It actually helped.

It got us to my first $600k in revenue.

The mastermind?

A network full of egos, sales tactics, and zero real value.

Connections were shallow, and the high-pressure ascension model was designed to keep people paying, not progressing.

Then came the next one.

$30,000 for a mastermind that looked promising.

This time, I actually found my people—the community was great.

But the value? Full of holes.

We watched good people struggle, trying to piece together the information they had paid tens of thousands for.

We brought solutions to the table, yet the mastermind leaders weren’t interested in fixing the problem.

They just wanted the next $30k deposit.

That’s when we knew:

Scaling Lean had to be different.

We Don’t Sell Hype. We Build Businesses.

Instead of chasing big-money masterminds with no substance, we focused on what actually works:

✅ Lean, Smart, and Profitable Business Models

✅ Automation, Paid Ads & Funnel Systems That Scale

✅ Real Systems That Generate Results – Not Just ‘Coaching’

✅ Small, High-Touch Client Base – So You’re Never Just a NumberOur business is simple:

📈We work with 6-10 new clients per month.

💡 Our clients stay with us for years because we generate real results.

💰 Our offers range from $97 to $24,000 – with hands-on, face-to-face strategy with the Founders.

No fluff. No BS. No "pay to be in the room" schemes.

We're tired of watching business owners get scammed.

Tired of seeing sales tactics over real solutions.

Scaling Lean isn’t just a business.

It’s a movement— real, scalable systems that actually works.

It’s simple.

It’s intimate.

It’s repeatable.

It’s scalable.
