I help founders build companies that don't destroy them.

Business coaching for founders and CEOs of $500K-$5M companies who want growth without burning out. Direct, no-BS guidance from someone who's been there.

Sound familiar?

You built something real. Revenue is growing. The team is expanding. On paper, everything looks great.

But you're working 80-hour weeks. Every decision flows through you. You're the bottleneck for everything, and the business can't run without you. You haven't taken a real vacation in years.

The people problems are endless. Hiring, firing, managing, motivating. The technical stuff was easy compared to this. You didn't sign up to be a therapist, but here you are.

The hardest part of business isn't the business. It's the people. Including yourself.

What changes when we work together

Founders who work with Fail Coach don't just survive — they transform how their companies operate and how they show up as leaders.

One client grew revenue by 235% while cutting their working hours from 100 per week to under 40. Another rebuilt their entire leadership team and created a company culture that attracts top talent.

The numbers matter, but what matters more is this: you get your life back. You stop being the single point of failure. You build a business that runs without you being in every meeting, on every call, making every decision.

You become the leader your company needs, not the bottleneck holding it back.

How we work

1

Business MRI

We start with a comprehensive diagnostic. A structured survey and deep-dive conversation to understand where you are, what's working, what's broken, and what's holding you back.

2

Miha in Your Pocket

Ongoing access to guidance when you need it. Not scheduled check-ins that waste time. Real support when you're facing real decisions — leadership challenges, team issues, strategic pivots.

3

Tailored, Not Templated

No cookie-cutter frameworks. Every engagement is designed around your specific situation, your industry, your challenges, your goals. What works for a SaaS company won't work for a manufacturing business.

The first step? Take the Business MRI survey — it takes 10 minutes and gives us both a clear picture of where you stand.

What founders say

It's great to be able to go from 100 working hours a week to 40 hours or less, and still see the company grow by 235% in revenue.

Dean Perko, CEO at DOMinvest

The company is unrecognisable from a year ago. We've built a leadership team, established real processes, and created a culture that attracts top talent.

Ognjen Mihajlovic, CEO at NS Drafter

He is frank, direct and clear, without ambiguity. I couldn't recommend him more.

Why Fail Coach exists

Fail Coach was born from real failure. Not a “learning experience” reframe — actual, devastating failure.

Miha Matlievski built a portfolio of businesses worth $15 million. Then lost it all and ended up $5 million in debt. Four businesses failed simultaneously. The recovery took years.

Through that process, he learned what actually matters in business. Not the strategies you read in books, but the real work of leadership, resilience, and building something that lasts.

Fail Coach exists because Miha wished he had someone like this when he needed it most.
