Coach Ray Young
Founder, SuccessGPS Coaching · 46+ Years Experience · Kingdom Leader
From the Trenches of Scaling to Kingdom Impact
Ray didn't learn business leadership from a textbook or theoretical seminars. He learned it in the high-stakes, pressure-packed trenches of building and managing real companies with real payroll, real overhead, and real human challenges.
46 Years of Business Experience
Ray combines 46 years of hands-on business mastery with premier coaching. His experience spans financial services, automotive sales, commercial construction, real estate, communications, car wash, and laundromat industries.
Built to Protect Your Family
Through every venture, Ray lived the exact pressures most entrepreneurs face: the pull to sacrifice family for growth and the loneliness of carrying it alone. He discovered how to build thriving companies without destroying what matters most—and now coaches others to do the same.
Through these ventures, Ray lived through the exact pressures most entrepreneurs struggle with: the temptation to sacrifice family on the altar of business growth, the loneliness that creeps in when you carry the burden alone, and the tension between worldly ambition and spiritual faithfulness.
Having walked through that fire and discovered how God's principles create true freedom, Ray founded SuccessGPS to give business owners a reliable weekly coaching system and compass for life and enterprise.
Faith and Business Were Never Meant to Be Separate
Too many believers leave their faith at church on Sunday and run their businesses like the rest of the secular world on Monday—stressed, hurried, competitive, and fearful.
Ray believes your business is your mission field and your pulpit. When you operate with biblical clarity, integrity, and operational excellence, God is glorified, your employees flourish, your customers are blessed, and your family reaps the peace.
The 6 Steps of the Success GPS
Every coaching engagement and 30-day sprint is structured around this proven framework.
Vision
Know Where You Are Going
Without vision, the people perish—and businesses drown in reactivity. Ray helps you clarify God's distinct call on your life and company, creating a vivid, compelling picture of the future that inspires both your team and your family.
Values
Anchor Your Non-Negotiables
Your core values aren't just decorative words on a lobby wall; they are the filters for every hiring decision, partnership, and ethical dilemma. We define your non-negotiables in faith, excellence, and stewardship so your culture thrives.
Goals
Define What Actually Matters
Vague hopes produce vague outcomes. We establish clear, measurable financial, operational, and personal milestones. You'll know exactly what needle to move each quarter so business growth doesn't cannibalize your marriage or health.
Priorities
Eliminate the Trivial Many
When everything is important, nothing is. Ray coaches you on ruthless prioritization—learning to say 'no' to good opportunities so you have space to say 'yes' to the great ones God has placed right in front of you.
Strategy
Simple Roadmaps Over Complex Theories
A battle plan must survive first contact with reality. Drawing from 46 years of business leadership across competitive industries, Ray builds clear, repeatable strategies that remove confusion and give your key leaders total alignment.
Execution
Disciplined Rhythms & Accountability
Vision without execution is hallucination. The final pillar puts accountability systems, scoreboards, and weekly execution rhythms in place so ideas turn into bottom-line profits and kingdom impact.
