Smart Shark
Honor, Excellence, Leadership, and Ownership
At Smart Shark, we are a kingdom-minded organization, operating our business and lives through a biblical worldview. Our foundation is built on the core values of Honor, Excellence, Leadership, and Ownership, which guide everything we do.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to help business owners build a life by design instead of by default, empowering them to reach their fullest God-given potential.
We believe that building a life by design starts with clarity—getting clear on what truly matters in life—and then taking massive, intentional action to make it happen.
That’s where we come in.
We know that making an impact requires two key resources:
1. TIME
2. ATTENTION
A.R.I.A CRM
To create more TIME, we developed A.R.I.A. CRM, a tool designed to give business owners back valuable hours so they can work on their business instead of in it. A.R.I.A.’s mission is to free entrepreneurs from the mundane, allowing them to step into leadership with focus and purpose.
Smart Publishing
To amplify our ATTENTION, we started by writing our first book. That single act of ownership over our expertise sparked something bigger: Smart Publishing, Smart Publishing’s mission is to break the barrier of the so-called “1% club” — the small percentage of people who publish a book in their lifetime. Through leadership and excellence, we aim to shatter that statistic, increasing it from 1% to 2%.
