A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT'S POSSIBLE
You're Not Short on Effort.
You're Short on Visibility.
What if the chaos you feel every day isn't a sign you need to work harder
— but a sign you're making decisions in the dark?
Chris Tombaugh has been in the creative and signage industry for over 20 years. He moved his family from California to Colorado Springs to build something that mattered. Not just a Business, but a Legacy.
Two years ago, despite decades of experience, he realized something was off.
Not broken. Not failing. But running in 10th gear with no dashboard.
This is what happened when he decided to change that.
From Chaos to Command
A Conversation with Chris Tombaugh • 23 min
"There is no Work-Life balance. It's unachievable. What I've figured out is something Different: Comfort in the Chaos."
Chris Tombaugh — Owner, APG Colorado Springs
What Changed in 24 Months
Chris didn't hire a bigger team. He didn't work more hours. He didn't find some magic growth hack.
He started seeing his business clearly for the first time.
BEFORE
Decisions made on gut feel and emotion
Margin assumptions based on "what it felt like"
Seasonal chaos that felt unavoidable
Working harder during busy season, scrambling to catch up
Family saw stress at the dinner table
AFTER
Decisions made on weekly data — logically, not emotionally
Actual margin tracked per project with full visibility
Seasonal patterns anticipated and planned for
Prepared and running before busy season hit
Family integrated as shareholders with clear roles
The Insight That Changed Everything
Here's what Chris discovered — and it's deceptively simple.
"Updating weekly. Not quarterly, not monthly, but weekly makes us able to pivot and make decisions much faster than a conglomerate where there's so much bureaucracy they're already out of business before they even knew it."
Most Business Owners are making decisions with data that's 30, 60, even 90 days old. By the time they see the problem, it's already cost them thousands. Chris made one change: He started tracking weekly. That single shift unlocked everything else.

Building the Business — and the Family — Together
Here's the part of Chris's story that most Business Owners don't get to experience.
Heather Tombaugh — Shareholder & President
Heather took a shareholder position when they moved to Colorado Springs. Today, she owns the books, not as a task delegated to her, but as a strategic function she's mastered.
"We're back to back with swords, fighting off all the bad and achieving the good. To know we're doing that together is invaluable."
This isn't a Business that's pulling a Family apart.
It's a Business that's pulling a Family together.
