About Bakker

It’s not you. It’s your stage.

Bakker runs operations at AR Funnel and built the entire diagnostic framework the Coach Operator Workshop is built on. He has systematized businesses from $10K to $200K a month, and he can tell you what is broken at your stage and how to fix it.

Coaches describe the same moment: Bakker reads out the symptoms of their stage, and they wonder how he knows their exact problems. He knows because they are not unique. Every stage has its own bottleneck.

Who is Bakker Shields? Bakker Shields is the COO of AR Funnel and the creator of The 5 Stages Framework, the 3-3-3 Meeting System and Rock-Road-Rail planning. He leads diagnosis, systems, operations, team management and strategic planning at the Coach Operator Workshop.

Client results · on camera

Their numbers. Their words.

Every figure was said on camera by the coach it belongs to. Best month means best month. A range stays a range.

Questions

About Bakker

What is The 5 Stages Framework?

Bakker’s diagnostic for coaching businesses: Foundation, Awkward Years, Chaos, Operator and Pinnacle. Revenue tells you which stage you are in. The framework tells you what is actually broken there.

What if I am between stages?

You learn both the stage you are in and the one you are moving toward, so you can build the systems before the next bottleneck hits.

How do I find my stage before the workshop?

Take the Bottlenecks Quiz. Eight questions, about two minutes, and you get your stage and the bottleneck that comes with it.
