From Battlefield to Boardroom to Your Business

Greg Palka, founder of Your Peak Impact, is an executive business coach, West Point graduate, and veteran entrepreneur dedicated to helping small business owners scale with strategy, proven systems, and leadership expertise.

What happens when you combine West Point leadership training, 20+ years of military command experience, and two decades of entrepreneurial success? You get someone who truly understands what it takes to lead, build, and scale under pressure.

My Journey: Forged by Challenge, Proven by Results

My story began at the United States Military Academy at West Point, where I earned my commission and spent two decades serving our country. From the Cold War through both Gulf Wars, I commanded teams across four continents, managing multi-million dollar operations where failure wasn't an option. My military career culminated as Director for Concepts & Advanced Systems at U.S. Army Strategic Command, working on cutting-edge technology projects for the Pentagon.

But here's what really shaped me as a coach: the transition from military life to entrepreneurship nearly broke me.

After retiring from the Army, I thought my leadership experience would make business ownership easy. I was wrong. Despite my credentials and my wealth management firm's success over 10 years, I found myself struggling financially after my divorce, drowning in debt, and questioning everything I thought I knew about success.

The Turning Point That Changed Everything

In 2009, at my lowest point, I reluctantly entered the network marketing industry. What I discovered wasn't just a business model – it was a passion for empowering others to transform their lives through small business ownership. Alongside my incredible wife Patti (we'll get to that love story!), I built a thriving organization, achieving elite industry status and helping thousands of entrepreneurs worldwide.

This experience taught me something profound: Success isn't about having all the answers – it's about having the right systems and the courage to implement them.

Why I'm Different from Other Business Coaches

I've walked in your shoes – literally. I know what it's like to:

Feeling overwhelmed by wearing every hat in your business
Struggle with cash flow despite working 80+ hour weeks
Wonder if you're cut out for entrepreneurship
Need results yesterday, bot in 6 months

My approach combines:

Military precision in strategy and execution
Entrepreneurial empathy from my own struggles and victories
Proven systems through the Worldwide Coaching Group's Pinnacle Success System™
Real-world application refined through coaching thousands of business owners

More Than Business – It's About Life Impact

As a BNI Chapter Success Coach in Northeast Texas, I've helped countless businesses break through growth barriers using referral marketing systems. But what drives me isn't just business metrics – it's watching entrepreneurs reclaim their time, increase their income, and create the impact they dreamed of when they first started.

The Personal Side

Patti and I didn't just merge our businesses when we married in 2012 – we merged our mission. Together, we're raising a blended family of 9 adult children and cherishing our 6 grandchildren. When I'm not coaching, you'll find me outdoors, traveling, or serving through Rotary and our church community here in East Texas.

Our family is proof that with the right systems and support, you can build a thriving business AND a fulfilling life.

Ready to Reach Your Peak Impact?

Whether you're a team of 1 or 20, struggling to scale or ready to systematize, I'm here to help you build the business that serves your life – not the other way around.

The question isn't whether you have what it takes to succeed. The question is: Are you ready to implement the systems that will get you there?

Let's find out together.

"Leadership is not about being in charge. It's about taking care of those in your charge – including yourself as a business owner."~ Greg Palka
