You made me think about and consider things that would never come to mind on my own. I was able to clear my head and narrow my focus down to specific things that we further my business instead of having my mind all over the place.

Sometimes we just need someone to kick us in the butt. That was the energy I felt. It's nice when someone can guide you and they feel so clear like they know what they're doing. That could be really nice especially on days where I'm not as confident. I really appreciate the no-bullshit approach.

Social Media Sherpa

He's young - possibly younger than me - which was briefly questionable. But he knows his stuff, he asks good questions, and he is approachable with my own questions.

Great conversation! Helped me put all my thoughts into a concise to-do list in order of importance which was super helpful because I couldnâ€™t do that myself previously and was struggling to see things big picture altogether.

Yarin Gaon’s Clarity Challenge helped Whitestone redefine who we are by aligning our purpose, values, strengths, and ideal customers into a clear, actionable framework. It brought clarity and alignment to our team on key fundamentals like why we exist, what we do best, and who our perfect customer is. Now, we’re entering 2025 with a stronger sense of purpose and a shared vision. For any founder looking to refine their strategy and align their team, I highly recommend Yarin and Fractional Partners.

My close friend and advisor, Yarin Gaon, has been instrumental in helping Whitestone redefine who we are through his Clarity Challenge exercise, which aligns a company’s purpose, values, strengths, and ideal customers into a clear and actionable framework.

Yarin’s framework helped my executive team align on the fundamentals:

Why We Exist
What We Do Best
Who Our Perfect Customer Is
What They Truly Want
And more!

It was more than strategy—it was about clarity and alignment. We’re gearing up for 2025 with a stronger sense of purpose and a shared vision for the next chapter of Whitestone.

To any founder looking to refine their strategy and gain alignment across their team, I can’t recommend Yarin and Fractional Partners enough.

Yarin offered me great insight into key areas of my business that I was overlooking. No matter how prepared you think you are, I would recommend getting his perspective.

Yarin is an entrepreneur through and through and he's laser focused on helping other founders grow their business. He is a tremendous resource for people who want to get to that next-level of business growth, and personally, I've loved getting to know him over the last year. He's also a connector of high-caliber individuals and puts together excellent events for entrepreneurs in the Austin area who aren't in the tech sector. He's serving a segment of the market that is often ignored, and he does it with excellence.

Working with Yarin was an absolute pleasure and a transformative experience. Watching Yarin conduct and orchestrate a meeting was itself a masterclass worth thousands of dollars because it elevated my skills and leadership qualities to a whole new level and inspired me to level up my skills in leading productive meetings with my team.

One of the standout aspects of our collaboration was the financial sheet Yarin provided. It brought massive clarity to our situation, showing exactly where we are before helping us decide where we wanted to go.

Before Yarin's input, it felt like navigating a dark room, stumbling with every step. Yarin came in and simply turned on the light, making everything clear and purposeful.

Yarin is a master at what he does. He does it effectively, quickly and enthusiastically. It is a pleasure to work with him and I would definitely hire Yarin as a consultant and fractional partner to help me in leveling up my e-commerce business

Having Yarin as a mentor helped me look at my business from a different perspective. He listened to my questions, and posed new questions that helped me think in a different way to overcome the challenges I was facing in my business. Additionally, his expertise in understanding the financials behind a business was extremely helpful for me in learning about the viability of my business and what areas I needed to focus on in order to ensure the business made sense financially. Yarin is extremely knowledgeable and we always leave with clear action steps.

Yarin helped me narrow my focus to problem-solving and helped me find the most profitable parts of my business so I could cultivate them first. He encouraged me to focus more on the online portion of my business which ended up saving me in the long run (pandemic hit shortly after!) my business is still thriving today because of this advice.

Yarin is a strong thought partner! I have gotten to know Yarin through a UChicago mentoring program for startup founders. He has given me some important advice/coaching based on the unique way he thinks and his impressive background. Specifically, he helps me push away all the noise that can surround a business and focus on the areas that matter the most. Then, he assists in creating simple yet powerful plans to tackle those areas. He is a strong partner for our business!

Working with Yarin has been nothing short of transformational. I can't even begin to list the number of things we have stopped doing after this process and how it has revolutionized our processes, strategy, and operations. Yarin went above and beyond for us, over-delivered, and gave extra time, energy, and space to ensure we reached our goals. He possesses a unique combination of holding nothing back, saying what needs to be said, and backing it up with solutions and processes that effectively address what doesn't work. Thanks to his guidance, we have significantly improved our productivity, communication, and focus. Remarkably, during what is usually the slowest quarter of the year for us, we doubled our revenue and secured donations to further our mission. We now have a well-defined strategy and process to continue thriving long after our work with him. I look forward to watching our progress as we grow. Yarin truly feels like a fractional partner, seamlessly integrated into our team and working with us to ensure we reach our desired destination. If you seek a no-nonsense, get-it-done partner who delivers results and provides a replicable process, look no further—Yarin is your man.
