PRIVATE FOUNDER ADVISORY

SCALE YOUR BUSINESS.WORK FEWER HOURS.

Six months of private 1:1 advisory to help you grow the company while progressively reducing the amount of low-value time the business requires from you personally.

THE COMPANY CAN GET BIGGER WITHOUT YOUR WORKING WEEK GETTING BIGGER WITH IT.

Successful founders rarely have an effort problem. They have more people, decisions, meetings, messages, opportunities and problems competing for the same finite hours.

The default answer is usually more involvement and longer days. My job is to change that equation.

MORE MONEY. MORE TIME. A BETTER USE OF THE FOUNDER.

THE OUTCOME

MORE GROWTH FROM FEWER FOUNDER HOURS.

Working fewer hours is not the objective by itself. The objective is to make the hours you keep substantially more valuable, then remove the hours that no longer deserve you.

01

GROWTH WORK

More of the work that actually grows the company gets done. Strategy, leadership, senior hiring, partnerships, creative direction and major commercial decisions stop competing with low-value operational noise for whatever time is left over.

02

FEWER HOURS

Your working week gets smaller without making the business smaller. Work that does not require founder judgement is removed, delegated or contained so growth is no longer funded by extending your day.

03

BETTER HOURS

Your best hours go to your highest-value work. I identify when you think, decide and create at your best, then protect those windows for the work with the greatest commercial return.

04

BUILT FOR SCALE

Growth stops automatically increasing your personal workload. The way you operate evolves with the company so more opportunity, more people and more complexity do not simply create more founder involvement.

YOUR JOB IS NOT TO GET MORE DONE. IT IS TO MAKE MORE OF WHAT YOU DO GROW THE BUSINESS.

SPEED TO VALUE

YOU DO NOT WAIT SIX MONTHS TO FEEL THE DIFFERENCE.

The engagement lasts six months because the change has to survive real growth and real pressure. But the first useful change should happen much sooner.

  1. DAYS 1–7

    See where the week is really going.

    I audit your calendar, workload, decision load, communication, energy and highest-value responsibilities to establish a real operating baseline.

  2. BY DAY 14

    Put the first high-value change into motion.

    We identify the biggest avoidable drain on your time or output and make a specific change designed to remove it, contain it or move it away from you.

  3. BY DAY 30

    Measure the first signal that the new way is working.

    We compare the change against your baseline: founder hours, time spent on growth work and whether the problem we targeted has actually reduced.

  4. BY DAY 90

    Rebuild the way you operate around value.

    Your week is increasingly structured around the work only you should do, while low-value involvement is systematically removed or redesigned.

  5. MONTHS 4–6

    Make it survive real business pressure.

    We test the new way of operating through launches, hiring, travel, difficult weeks and growth so it becomes durable rather than temporary.

THE FIRST 90 DAYS CHANGE THE WAY YOU OPERATE. THE NEXT 90 MAKE SURE IT STAYS CHANGED WHEN THE BUSINESS GETS HARD.

FAST FIRST WIN. DURABLE CHANGE.

LOW EFFORT. HIGH JUDGEMENT.

I DO THE HEAVY THINKING. YOU MAKE THE CHANGES.

You are not buying another programme to manage. My role is to understand what is happening, identify the highest-value change, help you implement it and judge whether it is working.

MY ROLE

Analyse. Decide. Design. Refine.

  • Audit how your time, attention and decision-making are currently being used.
  • Identify the work and behaviours creating the biggest drag on founder output.
  • Design the changes I believe will create the greatest commercial return.
  • Track what happens and change course quickly when something is not working.
  • Build what proves useful into your Personal Operating System.

YOUR ROLE

Be honest. Make the change. Give me the signal.

  • Give me an accurate view of what is actually happening in the business and your week.
  • Make the agreed changes rather than collecting more advice.
  • Complete a five-minute weekly check-in so I can see what is changing.
  • Tell me quickly when reality changes, pressure increases or the system stops working.
  • Keep running the company. This should reduce management overhead, not create more of it.

THE SERVICE SHOULD CREATE LESS COMPLEXITY IN YOUR LIFE, NOT BECOME ANOTHER SOURCE OF IT.

YOUR PRIVATE CLIENT PORTAL

YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT WE ARE CHANGING AND WHETHER IT IS WORKING.

The portal is not the offer. It is the infrastructure behind it: one private place to keep the priority clear, see progress against your baseline and build the operating system that remains after the engagement ends.

ONE CLEAR PRIORITY

You always know the current problem, what we are changing and what result we expect that change to produce.

PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE

We compare where you started with where you are now: total founder hours, high-value work and the problems we have systematically removed.

YOUR OWN OPERATING SYSTEM

Changes that prove useful become part of a personalised way of working built around your role, company, pressure points and highest-value contribution.

DRIFT GETS CAUGHT EARLY

A five-minute weekly review gives me enough signal to see when low-value work, longer hours or unnecessary involvement are creeping back in.

THE ENGAGEMENT

PRIVATE, DIRECT AND BUILT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS.

This is six months of direct 1:1 advisory with me. No course. No community. No junior coach. No hand-off. The work changes as the company changes.

WHAT YOU GET

DIRECT ACCESS TO THE PERSON DOING THE THINKING.

I stay close enough to the reality of the business to make useful decisions with you, not give generic advice from a distance.

  • Calls when they are genuinely needed
  • Direct WhatsApp access between calls
  • Five-minute weekly check-in
  • Private client portal and progress history
  • A Personal Operating System built from what actually works

30-DAY FIT GUARANTEE

I WILL NOT KEEP YOU IN AN ENGAGEMENT I DO NOT BELIEVE CAN WORK.

The first 30 days are designed to establish whether there is a credible path to materially improve the way you operate and reduce unnecessary founder workload without compromising the company’s growth priorities. If, by the end of that initial 30-day period, I do not believe I can create meaningful progress toward the outcome we agreed, I will tell you and refund the unused portion of the engagement.

THE SIX-MONTH OUTCOME

THE COMPANY IS FURTHER AHEAD. YOU ARE WORKING FEWER HOURS.

More of the hours you keep are spent on the work only you can do and the work most likely to move the business forward. Growth no longer has to mean more of you.

A BIGGER BUSINESS SHOULD NOT REQUIRE A BIGGER PIECE OF YOU.
