The Story Behind the System

We didn’t start as coaches. We started as operators — in a garage, with a whiteboard, and an obsession with building something that mattered.

Next Level Pros is a business coaching and consulting community built by entrepreneurs who scaled a company from $0 to $200 million in just five years. We specialize in helping growth-minded founders in home services, trades, and medical practices scale profitably with proven sales strategies, AI-driven systems, and elite mentorship.

Our mission is simple, Designing Lives That Impact The World. That means building more than just better businesses, we’re helping founders build legacies.

Through hands-on strategy, coaching, and community, our goal is to help our members add $125 billion in additional revenue back into the economy over the next five years. Whether you’re doing $500K or $10M a year, we’re here to help you grow faster, more efficiently, and with a bigger purpose.

If you’re ready to scale with clarity, accountability, and a blueprint that works, welcome to Next Level Pros.

──  Where It Started

From a Garage to $200 Million

In 2017, Chris Lee and Daryl Kelly started Solgen Power out of a garage with no outside funding, no playbook, and no safety net. What they had was a system — a disciplined approach to sales, operations, and team-building that they’d pressure-tested over years of entrepreneurial grit.

Within five years, Solgen grew from zero to $200 million in revenue, earning recognition as the 6th fastest-growing company in the nation by the Financial Times. Along the way, they built teams of hundreds, entered new markets, and developed proprietary frameworks for scaling service businesses at speed.

But the most important thing they built wasn’t a company. It was a system that works.

A timeline illustrating key milestones and developments in Solgen's history and growth over the years.

$125 Billion Back Into the Economy

We’re not here to build a coaching brand. We’re here to build an army of operators who change their communities, their industries, and their families.

Our goal is simple and audacious: help our members generate $125 billion in additional revenue over the next five years. That’s not a marketing number. It’s a north star that drives every coaching call, every workshop, and every system we build.

We call it Designing Lives That Impact The World. Because when service business owners scale, they hire more people, serve more customers, and build more wealth in the communities that need it most.
