Contact El Jefe Enterprises

If you want your business made simple (not Donald Miller’s book) talk to Johnny Tellez. The cost of inaction and wrong direction is far more expensive than talking to him. Give yourself the clarity you need to life a less stressful life.

As a new business owner, it is incredibly easy to feel overwhelmed. There are constant decisions to make, endless moving parts, and a lot of pressure to “get it right.” I found myself unsure of which direction to take and how to break big goals down into realistic, actionable steps. Working with Johnny has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business. He has a gift for taking what feels complicated and turning it into a clear, strategic roadmap. Instead of feeling scattered, I now feel focused. Instead of second-guessing myself, I feel confident in my decisions. What sets Johnny apart is that he doesn’t just give advice — he truly partners with you. He listens, asks thoughtful questions, and helps you think at a higher level while still staying grounded in practical next steps. His guidance feels both strategic and supportive. He pushes you when needed, but you always feel encouraged and reassured along the way. Because of his coaching, I have more clarity, stronger direction, and real momentum in my business. I’m not just working harder — I’m working smarter. If you’re an entrepreneur who feels overwhelmed or stuck, and you want someone who can help you create structure, build confidence, and move forward with purpose, I cannot recommend Johnny enough.

Let me paint the picture. We’re brand new to the franchise world—we opened our first Playa Bowls location in Georgetown this past June. On top of that, we’re completely new to the QSR space, and my wife and I come from entirely different professional backgrounds. About eight months in, we started to feel the pressure. My wife left her job to run the business full-time, while I stayed in my corporate role to provide steady income. It didn’t take long for us to realize things weren’t running as smoothly as we had hoped. While we had a solid foundation, our operations weren’t fully optimized, and my wife was spending far more time in the store than we ever anticipated—70 to 80 hours a week. That meant little time with family, constant exhaustion, and an overwhelming amount of stress day after day. We were introduced to Johnny through our CPA, and after just one call, we were both incredibly impressed with his depth of knowledge and real-world experience in retail operations. Still, I had some initial skepticism—was this too good to be true? Was it all just talk? It didn’t take long to realize it wasn’t. From the very beginning, Johnny demonstrated that he genuinely cares—not just about the business, but about us as owners and people. His approach is thoughtful, strategic, and highly personalized. He asks the right questions, challenges our thinking, and brings a level of insight and structure that we were missing. We’re only a few sessions in, but I already feel confident in the direction we’re heading. With his guidance, accountability, and clear execution plan, I can see a path toward significant growth—and just as importantly, a path that allows my wife to step back into the true role of an owner: focusing on leadership, oversight, and scaling the business, rather than being consumed by the day-to-day grind. I can’t recommend “El Jefe” enough. His expertise, combined with his deeply consultative and hands-on approach, has already made a meaningful impact on our business and our lives.

It was incredible working with Johnny throughout my search for the right business opportunity. From the very beginning, he guided me with clarity, patience, and genuine care, helping me navigate every step of the journey and ultimately find the perfect business fit for me. What truly sets Johnny apart is not only his professionalism and deep expertise, but also the empathy and availability he brings to the relationship. He was always there when I needed guidance, encouragement, or a thoughtful perspective. I’m genuinely grateful for his support and very much looking forward to continuing to work with him as I move forward. Beyond being an outstanding professional partner, Johnny is an amazing human being, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
