You built a successful business. Now it's built a prison around you.
Every decision runs through you. Every problem lands on your desk. Every weekend gets interrupted by "urgent" issues that could have waited until Monday.
You wanted freedom. Instead, you got a very expensive job that you can't quit.
Sound familiar?
Week 1: "This is just temporary. Once we get through this busy period..."
Month 6: "I just need to hire the right people and then I can step back..."
Year 2: "Maybe if I implement better systems..."
Year 3: "I'm so tired I can't think straight, but everyone depends on me..."
Here's what's really happening:
Your business model requires YOU to make it work. Every process, every decision, every customer issue flows through you because that's how you built it.
You're not managing a business. You're managing chaos.
And the harder you work to control it, the more dependent it becomes on you.
Imagine walking into your office on Monday morning and discovering:
Your team handled the weekend "crisis" without calling you
Your biggest client renewed their contract while you were on holiday
Your profit margins improved because systems are running the business, not emotions
You finally took that two-week vacation and came back to BETTER numbers
This isn't fantasy. This is what happens when you stop being indispensable.
The only business transformation system designed specifically for founders who've outgrown their own success.
In the next 100 days, I'll work directly with you to rebuild your business using The 4D Framework - the exact system I've used with 200+ founders to go from chaos to clarity.
Not in 2 years. Not "when you're ready." In 100 days.
Most consultants give you a framework and wish you luck.
I work IN your business for 100 days to implement The 4Ds with you.
Most strategists focus on growth.
I focus on profitable growth that doesn't require you to sacrifice your life.
Most advisors learned from books.
I learned from 25 years in real boardrooms with real money on the line.
Most coaches work on your mindset.
I work on the business structure that's crushing your mindset.
The Reality Audit
Get to grips with current offers, pricing, profitability and strategy
Complete operational assessment of where you're truly indispensable
Identify the 3 bottlenecks costing you the most time, energy, and profit
Map your current decision flows to see where everything gets stuck
Financial health check to understand what's actually driving (or killing) profit
What You'll Discover
Why your "urgent" problems keep repeating
Which team members are ready for more responsibility (and which aren't)
The real cost of being the bottleneck in your own business
Where you're leaving money on the table without realising it
Systems Architecture
Design decision trees so your team stops asking "What would [INSERT YOUR NAME] do?"
Create your "Freedom Framework" - the exact systems needed to extract yourself
Build THE dashboards you need for real-time business health monitoring
Design role clarity structures so everyone knows what they own
Set company wide OKRs
What You'll Design
Processes that work whether you're watching or not
Team structures that solve problems instead of creating them
Financial systems that predict issues before they become crises
Quality controls that maintain standards without your constant oversight
Implementation Phase
Roll out new decision-making processes with your team
Install financial monitoring and early warning systems
Deploy communication protocols that reduce "urgent" interruptions by 80%
Implement performance metrics that drive the right behavior automatically
What You'll Deploy
Team training on new systems and responsibilities
Process documentation that actually gets used
Feedback loops that catch problems before they reach your desk
Escalation protocols for true emergencies only
The Freedom Test
Your first 2-week period completely offline from operations
Real-time system monitoring and adjustment (I'm watching even if you're not)
Team performance evaluation under the new structure
Final system refinements based on what breaks (and what doesn't)
What You'll Deliver
Proof that your business runs profitably without you
Confidence in your team's ability to handle whatever comes up
Systems that improve over time instead of deteriorating
A business that's an asset, not a job
Direct Access to Me
Regular 60-minute strategy sessions for onboarding and then fortnightly thereafter (as required)
WA access for urgent questions during implementation
Monthly team workshops where I work directly with your people
One "rescue session" if something breaks during your freedom test

Lifetime Value
1 month follow-up support to ensure systems stick
Discounted Annual "business health check" using The 4D Framework
Invitation to my private CEO network - other founders who've made this transition and can meet up because they now have time (strict confidentiality rules around this)!
Full 100 Day CFO Framework: £25,000
Payment plans available
What this replaces:
£8,000/month for a part-time CFO who doesn't understand your industry
£15,000 for business coaching that gives you theory instead of implementation
£50,000+ for consultants who create beautiful reports you'll never use
The opportunity cost of another year trapped in daily operations
What this creates:
A business that increases in value whether you're working in it or not
Predictable profit margins that improve over time
Systems that scale with your growth instead of breaking under pressure
You getting your life back
You're a perfect fit if:
Your business generates £1m-£10m annually
You're exhausted by your own success
You want growth that doesn't require selling your soul
You're ready to implement the 4Ds (not just talk about them)
You value results over inspiration
You're exhausted by your own success
This isn't for you if:
You want someone to fix your business while you stay exactly the same
You think your industry is "too different" for The 4D Framework
You're looking for quick fixes or magic bullets
You're not willing to temporarily feel uncomfortable while systems develop
You're not ready to invest in real transformation
You're looking for quick fixes or magic bullets
How much is another year of being trapped in your own business costing you?
Not just financially (though the opportunity cost is enormous).
Personally:
The relationships you're not building because you're always "busy"
The experiences you're missing because you can't get away
The energy you don't have for the things that actually matter
Professionally:
The strategic opportunities you're missing because you're stuck in operations
The profitable growth you're leaving on the table because you're managing chaos
The team potential that's untapped because everything flows through you
You built something incredible. Now let's make it work for you instead of against you.
Let’s talk. Let’s go old school and meet up virtually for a cuppa and a chat (or in person if you are local to me) and see what you’re looking for and whether we like each other.

P.S. I've used The 4D Framework with A LOT of founders. The ones who wait "until things calm down" are still waiting. The ones who commit to 100 days of structured transformation get decades of freedom. Which founder are you?
P.P.S. This isn't just about working less (though that happens). It's about working on what actually matters. Your business should compound your impact, not consume your life.
