Blue Mountain Operations Group

Operations Management for Small Businesses in the Walla Walla Valley

Your business is growing. Your to-do list is growing faster.

There is a better way to run things than keeping it all in your head.

A home office workspace with a laptop, a ceramic mug, a notebook with a pen, glasses, and plants on a wooden desk, overlooking a mountain view through a large window.

You started this business because you are good at what you do. Somewhere along the way, you also became the scheduler, the bookkeeper's assistant, the person who answers every question, and the only one who knows where anything is. The work you love is getting squeezed by the work it takes to keep the doors open.

The Real Cost of Running It All Yourself

  • Serving the customers who keep coming back

  • Training your team so they can run things without you

  • Taking on the bigger jobs you know you could handle

  • Going home on time

Every hour you spend chasing invoices, re-explaining the same task, or digging through your inbox for that one email is an hour you are NOT:

The constant juggling is not just tiring. It is the thing standing between a busy business and a well-run one.

Operations Support That Fits a Small Business

Imagine handing the behind-the-scenes work to someone who:

  • Gets how small businesses actually run: scheduling, follow-up, vendors, team coordination, and the tools you already use

  • Builds systems your team can run: clear steps, clear owners, written down so it works the same way whether or not you are standing there

  • Sets it up and hands it off: we design the process, put the tools in place, and train your people to own it

  • Stays in your corner: check-ins and adjustments as the business grows, without you starting over

Based in Prescott and work with businesses across the Walla Walla Valley. We also support a handful of clients remotely.

What Changes When Your Operations Have a System

Instead of: Spending 10+ hours a week on admin, scheduling, and follow-up

You Get: That time back for customers, crews, and the parts of the business you are good at

Instead of: Being the only person who knows how things work

You Get: Written processes and a team that follows them

Instead of: Wondering if something got done

You Get: Clear owners, deadlines, and an easy way to see what's done.

Instead of: Feeling like you cannot step away

You Get: A business that keeps running when you take a day off

Here is what shifts when every moving part has a clear owner:

A modern home office with a wooden desk, filled with binders, books, and a gold desk lamp. There are potted plants on the desk and a large pine board with color swatches and notes on the wall behind. To the left, a wall shelf with more plants, books, and storage boxes, next to a window with sunlight. A framed landscape photo decorates the wall.

We build it with you, then hand it to your team. Here's how it works:

We talk through how your business runs today, where things pile up, and what you would hand off first if you could. No pressure, no pitch: just a clear picture of whether this is a fit.

We map how the work moves today, then set up the process and tools to match: clear steps, clear owners, and everything written down so it doesn't live in one person's head.

3.
Hand-off and Support

We train your team to run it, then stay in your corner with check-ins and adjustments as the business grows. You get to be the owner instead of the bottleneck.

"It's been so helpful having Shawnita on board. My business requirements and tech structure were all over the place, and it's starting to feel so much more organised and systematic—which was my big goal. What drew me to work with Shawnita was her promise of taming the chaos, plus her professional and well-presented website. She's been professional, reliable, flexible, organised, easy to work with, thoughtful and proactive throughout. I'm extremely satisfied and would absolutely recommend her services."

“Shawnita is a joy to work with. She is prompt to respond, gets jobs done quickly, and doesn't hesitate to ask questions or research when needed. She has taken huge pieces of projects off my plate, and it has been wonderful to focus on other projects with that time. I know when I send a task her way, it is going to get done, and I don't need to monitor her. She is creative, a good communicator, and a hard worker. If you are looking for a partner in business, you found her!”

Hi! I'm Shawnita. I live on a ranch outside Prescott with my husband and four kids, and for the last several years I've helped business owners get organized, delegate well, and stop carrying everything themselves.

If you are tired of being the only one who knows how things work, or you can feel your business outgrowing how you have been running it, let's talk about building something steadier.

When everything lives in your head, everything feels urgent. The ideas, follow-ups, deadlines, decisions, and little details all compete for the same attention. Getting those things out of your head and into a clear system makes it much easier to s
What does operations support actually look like? A lot of the time, it looks like this: laptop open, notes everywhere, and figuring out how all the moving pieces need to work together. Scheduling and follow-up. Customer tracking. Team handoffs. Wri
Operations support creates room for growth. When the details have owners, the process is clear, and follow-up is consistent, the business owner gets more room to focus on the work only they can do. #operationssupport #businesssystems #operationsman
It’s October, which makes this a good time to clean up a few things before the end of the year. You do not need to overhaul everything at once. Start with: • closing open loops • documenting one recurring process • cleaning up
Three signs your backend may need a cleanup: 1. You are constantly searching for files or links. 2. Tasks are living in too many places. 3. Follow-up is happening late or not at all. When the backend gets messy, everyday work takes more time and me
