Janet & Michael Bartlett

Welcome to the Business Pros, your partner in the growth of your business!
We are passionate about helping business owners and managers live their dreams.

“When you become the least important person in your business, you will have succeeded!”
– Dan Murphy, Founder, The Growth Coach®

This is counter-intuitive to most business owners, however, understanding this is very liberating. Your business should take care of you, not the other way around. We help you discover how to get there.

Our goals for you:

  • Understand your business and personal goals.
  • Develop a strategic mindset.
  • Build your team: GCInsights, our DISC profile tool, helps you build a dynamic, diverse team.
  • Discover the power of accountability throughout your business.
  • Find partners to help you with your journey.
  • Balance your work and life.

Janet Bartlett

I am a CPA, licensed in the state of Washington. I have more than 30 years of experience in leadership positions at businesses of many sizes, including Electric Mirror, LLC RCO Legal, CompuCom Systems Inc, Contour Aerospace, a division of Vought Aircraft and Trona Joint Unified School District. I have a bachelor’s degree (Summa Cum Laude) in business administration and accounting from the University of Missouri-Saint Louis.

My career has spanned a wide range of businesses and I have been able to see, first-hand, how organizational behavior is the key to business success. I enjoy working with business owners, CEO’s and managers to help them understand how their role, their leadership style and their actions set the tone for the entire business. Helping leaders to be self-aware and to build strong teams is vital to helping them improve their businesses and, with the support of great teams, find balance in their own lives.

Michael Bartlett

As a now-retired aerospace engineer of over 40 years’ experience in multiple organizations, I advanced up the “ladder to success” by putting soft skills to work: training, empowering, and managing teams or leading multi-million-dollar test programs. Everywhere I went and at every company or government organization it was the same, people make the difference between success and failure. I hope to leverage my experience combined with best practices gleaned from The Growth Coach® training to enable the next generation of businesses and business owners.
