Most business coaches will teach you a framework. Todd will guide you to make it happen.

With more than 30 years of business leadership experience, Todd has navigated the same challenges his clients face: growth ceilings, team performance gaps, cash flow pressures, and the relentless pull of working in the business instead of on it. He doesn't coach from a textbook. He coaches from experience.

As a certified ActionCOACH and owner of Aspire ActionCOACH in SW Ohio, Todd brings globally proven business coaching methodology to the businesses right here in his community with the hands-on, personal commitment of a local partner who is genuinely invested in your success.

He works with a select group of founders and business owners ready to close the gap between where they are and where they know they can be. When you qualify for coaching with Todd, it means he's fully committed.

"Most business owners don't need more motivation. They need better systems, a clearer strategy, and someone honest enough to tell them what's standing in the way. That's what I aspire to do for every client."

— Todd Rodden

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what business owners ask before working with a coach.

What does a business coach do?
A business coach helps you build the strategy, systems, and accountability to grow your business without it running your life. Rather than doing the work for you like a consultant, a coach works alongside you — diagnosing what's actually holding your business back, aligning your team around clear goals, installing the systems to support growth, and holding you accountable to executing the plan.
How much does business coaching cost?
Investment varies based on your business size, goals, and which program fits — from the group-based Business MasterClass to 1:1 coaching. Rather than guess at a number that may not apply to you, book a free Discovery Call and Todd will walk through what makes sense for your business and what it costs.
How is ActionCOACH different from other business coaching?
Aspire ActionCOACH combines a proven, globally-used framework — ABoS, the ActionCOACH Business Operating System — with Todd Rodden's own 30+ years running real businesses, not just coaching theory. Clients also get a results guarantee and selective enrollment, meaning Todd works closely with a limited number of business owners rather than spreading himself across an unlimited client list.
How long does it take to see results from business coaching?
It depends on your starting point and goals — every business is different. The Business MasterClass runs 12 structured sessions, giving you a full cycle to implement changes and see traction; quarterly GrowthCLUB workshops build on that momentum over time. Consistency matters more than speed: clients who show up and apply the framework see the clearest results.
Do I need a business coach or a consultant?
A consultant typically diagnoses a problem and hands you a report or does the work for you. A business coach works alongside you over time — building your own capability to lead, decide, and execute, so the business doesn't depend on someone else fixing it. If you want lasting change you can sustain yourself, coaching is usually the better fit.
Is business coaching worth it for small business owners?
For owners who are overwhelmed, hitting a growth ceiling, or working long hours without a clear path forward, coaching is built specifically to close that gap. It's an investment in your own leadership and your business's systems, not just advice — which is why Aspire ActionCOACH backs it with a results guarantee and selective client enrollment.
What is a Business MasterClass?
The Business MasterClass is a group coaching program for business owners serious about building consistent, predictable growth. Over 12 structured sessions, you develop the clarity, strategy, and systems to move your business forward with confidence — alongside other growth-focused owners who keep you accountable.
