Is this THE year you are finally able to get out of the day-to-day of your business?
The year you elevate to being the visionary your business needs?
The year you make the kind of impact you want?
The year you actually live the life you built this business for in the first place?
If you're here, you already know you want to make this shift. The question is how... and where to start.
Especially when you've likely tried before and either saw no results, or tasted freedom only to watch things boomerang back on you and feel even heavier than before.
If you're like most of the successful founders I know, you've tried the typical advice like:
- "Learn to delegate better."
- "Hire more people or managers."
- "Document your SOPs."
- "Invest in this new system."
But if you've already tried that, you know firsthand it often doesn't work as advertised.
Instead, delegation can create more mess than it solves, hiring can increase the things you have to direct, decide, do, and fix, and documenting processes doesn't always let the business run without you.
Far too many founders waste time and money on changes that don't actually free them from the day to day or simplify their business.
Here's what's really going on...
You can't fully fix what you can't see. And when everything is dependent on you, it's hard to zoom out and find the root cause of what's causing the dependency.
Without clarity on the root causes, you end up:
- Implementing solutions that sound good but don't address the real problem
- Fixing symptoms while the underlying structure stays broken
- Wasting months (or years) on changes that don't move the business forward or move you out of the center of everything
- Getting frustrated and burned out because nothing seems to work
This can look like:
- Hiring a "right-hand person" but the structure doesn't support them owning anything... and they become another person asking for direction and decisions
- Documenting SOPs but the workflows themselves require founder involvement... and the SOPs don't eliminate dependency
- Delegating more but the team lacks context or authority to operate independently... and everything still comes back to you
Surface-level fixes can't solve structural problems.
And structural problems are nearly impossible to see from the inside.
The solution is to diagnose where dependencies exist and design your path to freedom.
That's exactly what we do together inside Extraction.

Hi, I'm Crista Grasso.
A scaling strategist, operations alchemist, and Founder of the Lean Scaling Co & Strategic Ops Institute.
For 30+ years, I've helped businesses scale from Fortune 500s to service-based businesses like yours.
I created this sprint because I kept seeing founders jump into implementation without proper diagnosis. They'd work hard, make changes, and still feel trapped because they were solving the wrong problems.
Get the roadmap right and implementation becomes straightforward. Skip it and waste months spinning your wheels.
I'm equal parts strategist and systems thinker. I help you see what you can't see from inside your business, then design the structure that will actually free you.
"I own a design business and we were stuck. We knew that there was a lot of growth ahead of us but we were having trouble getting there. One of the things I liked the most about Crista’s program is that in order to scale I knew I needed something, but I didn’t know what it was.
If you want to save time, grow your team, build systems that work, and continue to work at a bigger level, that’s what you are going to get from her program and I can not recommend it enough.
Crista’s program is phenomenal and amazing for that. It has already saved us more than 10 hours a week, which is huge. That’s a day's worth of work so that I can focus on the things that I need to as the CEO of my company."
What Extraction Is and Isn't
Extraction is...
- A diagnostic to reveal exactly where you're stuck
- A design process to create your future-state frameworks
- A roadmapping session to prioritize and sequence changes
- A blueprint you can implement yourself or with our support
Extraction is not...
- An implementation program (that's what Simplify to Scale is for)
- A course with modules to watch
- Generic advice or templates
- A quick fix or magic solution
How to Know if Extraction is Right For You
Extraction is for you if you're running a high multi-6 to multi-7-figure service-based business with a team of contractors or employees, and...
- You want to get out of the day-to-day but don't know what will make it stick
- You're tired of guessing and want a clear and personalized path forward
- You're willing to invest 30 days to get crystal clarity
Extraction won't be a fit right now for you if:
- You're newer to business and still finding product-market fit
- You're running things solo without support
- You're in hustle mode trying to make sales and drive leads at all costs
- You're expecting to be fully extracted from your business in 30 days
- You're unwilling to shift your business to free yourself from the day to day
