About Julia Berger - Founder of Core Peak Studio
I've spent 20 years experiencing the ins and outs of business: building systems, fixing what broke, running operations, and navigating the reality of growth from the inside. There are few areas of business I haven't worked in directly.
That background shaped how I see businesses now. I don't look at brand, operations, and revenue as separate problems. I see how they interact, where friction happens, and how one weak area creates problems in three other places.
In my research with over 200 business owners, they usually get stuck because they're fixing symptoms instead of root causes. They try the same solution multiple times, it partially works, but the core issue keeps coming back.
I work with the owner as an individual and the business as a whole because they're intrinsically tied. The business reflects how the owner thinks, decides, and leads. When owners gain clarity about what's actually breaking, the business becomes easier to lead and harder to break.Whether you need diagnostic clarity, ongoing partnership, or strategic guidance, my role is to help you see what's limiting progress so you can make decisions with confidence.
How I Work
I Uncover Roadblocks Quickly
Not just the symptom you see, but the underlying issue. Either with the owner, the business, or both.
I Create Clarity Before Solutions
Understanding what's wrong and why it happened matters more than jumping to fixes. Clarity first, action second.
I Sequence Priorities Strategically
You start to see momentum building and everything starts working together again like you always thought it could.
Who I Work With
I work with founder-led businesses where growth is no longer straightforward. You're doing $500K+ in revenue and are experiencing friction that can't be solved with more effort alone.
You might be second-guessing decisions you used to make confidently. The business can't operate effectively when you're unavailable. You're working harder but not seeing the results you expect.
You're ready when you recognize you're part of the bottleneck, you're willing to change how you work (not just what you work on), and you want sustainable progress rather than quick fixes.
Make Your Next Move Count
If past investments created complexity instead of clarity, you don't
need more advice. You need to understand what actually needs to change and in what order.
