Proven System | Veteran COO Designed | Not AI Generated
You’ve spent 20 years climbing the ladder. You’re the “go-to” fixer. But let’s be honest about the reality of the C-Suite:
Do the math on your $250k salary against a 60-hour week of meetings and politics. The ‘safety’ of your salary is actually capping your earning potential
If you lost your job today, would you lose your identity too? You are renting your status as ‘VP of Ops.’ It’s time to own your status as the expert.
You are too successful to dread Mondays. The boredom of endless committees is wasting your best years of impact.
“Are you tired of making other people rich with your expertise? Your skills are your most valuable asset, but as long as you are an employee, your upside is capped.”

Founder, Derr Consulting
I’m Forrest Derr. I didn’t start as a “guru.” I started where you are—sitting in a C-Suite office, looking at a calendar full of meetings, wondering if this was it.
When I transitioned to fractional work, I had to figure it out the hard way. I wasted time on websites that didn’t convert and proposals that got ghosted.
I built the 10 Days Playbook to be the manual I wished I had. It’s not theory. It’s the exact operational system I use to run a high-profit fractional practice without the burnout.
“Don’t start from scratch. Start from experience.”
One client pays for this playbook 10x over.

Think about it: Replacing a $250k salary only takes about 2.5 clients at $8k/month. This playbook gives you the system to land them.
Yes. The systems for operational clarity, financial rigor, and leadership accountability are universal. Whether you are in SaaS, Manufacturing, or Services, the business physics remain the same.
Absolutely. That’s the ‘Safety Net’ strategy. The roadmap is designed to be executed in 1-2 hours a day over 10 days. Build the bridge before you quit.
Neither. It’s a Playbook. Courses are full of fluff and theory. Coaching takes months. This is a manual. It contains the templates, scripts, and steps to execute immediately.
Because it is priced on ROI, not page count. If this system helps you land one retainer client a month earlier than you would have on your own, it has paid for itself 10x immediately.
