What is Scale in Peace?

Scale in Peace helps busy small business owners reclaim their time and flexibility with a collaborative workspace, so they can focus on business growth.

The problem: business owners stuck into their own daily operations

The solution: create and implement a team workspace!

The benefits: more flexibility and more time to focus on business growth… other projects or even take more personal time!

Where can I contact you?

Contact me via the contact page. It will send me an email and I will reply within a day (except weekends and holidays).

If you want to go straight to the point, you should book a call with me.

What is a collaborative workspace (or team workspace)?

A collaborative workspace will centralize all your operations in the same place. It organise your documents, notes, tasks, projects, events, CRM, content calendar, etc.

So, instead of searching for where you stored your information, it’s organised in your collaborative workspace.

And instead of receiving hundreds or emails or messages all more important than the other, the workspace will sort your tasks so that you can prioritize and save time to focus on what truly matters.

As a result, your collaborative workspace can help you better manage your team, track your progress and focus on productivity.

Do you have testimonials?

Yes, you can find the case study of a team workspace done for an event company in Da Nang.

What are the major differences between each package?

  • Clarity Map: Ideal for business owners who just need direction and have a manager (even you) capable of leading the transformation. This package is perfect to test the water with my consulting as well.
  • Team Workspace: For businesses with 5-10 team members that need both clarity and hands-on guidance to set up a solid system and support during the transition. This package is the most popular.
  • Scale in Peace: Designed for owners who want to make their business self-sustaining, with plans to scale, franchise, sell, or simply free up time for other projects. It’s also for bigger teams or very specific clients.

Is it a remote consulting service?

Some clients prefer to have me “next to them”. It is not common but it is possible.

Otherwise, all of my services can be done online (remotely).

Note: the collaborative workspace I create can become a tool for you to control your company remotely as well. It provides real-time updates and enhance the trust between you and your employees.

What is a team productivity expert?

A team productivity expert will focus on two things: collaboration and productivity.

Collaboration will study the system in place that make the team work effective. A typical example is to see how tasks are created, assigned, delegated and done.

And the productivity is the outcome of that system; how much get done by the team.

When you work with a team productivity expert, you have a chance to clarify your goals and put in place the proper systems to sustain the company growth.

Are you recruiting and training new staff?

To reclaim your time, one solution I might recommend at some point will be to recruit new employees. However, my expertise stops here. But of course, I am able to tell you what profile, what job description this new employee should fulfil. From my experience I am also able to guide you and share with you the best way to recruit new people. Last thing, I am training existing employees to use the collaborative workspace and all the potential changes it may have on their day to day. And if, during my service, new staff join your team, they will be provided trainings.

But Nico, my operations are very specific to my industry. How can you guarantee results?

That’s exactly why we start with the “Clarity Map.” It helps both you and me understand how your company works in detail—who does what, how, and when.

With 10 years of entrepreneurial experience in Vietnam, a business management degree, and 2 years as an ERP Project Manager, I analyze your team’s tasks, responsibilities, and tools. This lets us compare your current processes with the ideal workflows for your business.

Are you using Notion ? I tried it in the past. And it’s too complex for my team.

Most people use Notion like a simple word processor or task manager. Even worst, they will download a template thinking it will sort all their problems.

That is not the right approach for team collaboration. You need a deeper understanding of your own operations, clarify everything and then a solid setup.

Notion requires some design work to unlock its full potential, and that’s exactly what I’ll help you with.

I won’t overload you with details on how the system is built—I’ll build it for you and train your team to use it effectively. Plus, I’ll turn your team into advanced Notion users, so they can maintain best practices and make simple adjustments in the future.

How much time can I expect to save daily with your workspace?

Imagine that thanks to Scale in Peace, you go from working 10+ hours a day on your business down to only 2 hours for example. The rest of your time, you can spend it on growth, on other projects or on yourself. The other big difference my service makes is the stress release, regaining some time flexibility and control over your agenda. Then, naturally, you start reducing your involvment into operations and work less as well.
