See what’s holding you back – and what to do about it.
You’ve built your business. Hit seven figures. But momentum has stalled.
Something isn’t right.
Maybe you’re asking:
“Why can’t I fix this?”
“What am I missing?”
“Am I in Groundhog Day!”
“Maybe it’s me?!”
That frustration isn't a lack of effort.
It’s a growing pain.
It’s a sign you’ve outgrown the way you’ve always done things.
The truth is:
What got you “Here” won’t get you “There”.
Chances are, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with you or your business - you haven’t lost your mojo.
It’s just that, sooner or later, all business owners reach a point where they sail off the edge of their map.
What used to work doesn’t. And Shit Happens.
Then you’re in uncharted waters.
It’s inevitable when you’re leading a growing business. There is no instruction book or Haynes manual.
So frustration sets in.
To progress, something must change.
If you’re business is stable and your income reasonable, you may find yourself in a “comfort trap”.
Financially comfortable, not moving forward, but Frustrated.
Your short-term comfort masks the long-term impact of not addressing the problem.
That “long term impact” could be your future growth and profitability, exit value, stepping back, your health or the sale-ability of your business.
All could have very negative consequences for you and your family.
The answer’s simple.
Prioritise tomorrow.
Fixing frustration isn’t just about improving how you feel today.
It’s about protecting your future - and giving you the freedom to choose your next chapter.
Frustration isn’t failure, it’s feedback.
It’s your business trying to tell you something.
If your Doctor prescribed a course of treatment without an examination or tests, you rightly wouldn’t have much confidence in the outcome.
That happens to businesses every day.
LinkedIn is full of people pedaling “solutions” to fix business issues.
Many are like wild west snake oil salesmen. Slick, but scratch the surface and there's little substance.
PRESCRIPTION WITHOUT DIAGNOSIS IS MALPRACTICE.
How can you have confidence in a solution if no-one knows what’s really causing the problem?
Or what the real issues are beneath the surface?
Our process digs deeper than just the frustrating symptoms to get to the real causes.
The under-lying Structure, Systems and pSychology that are causing, perpetuating or preventing you from solving the problem.
In many cases, if you take a structured, methodical approach you can probably identify the under-lying cause and fix it yourself.
Frameworks like the “5 Whys”, the “Iceberg Model” and “Appreciative Inquiry” can be very helpful and may enable you to fix the issues.
However, there are circumstances when it can be beneficial to bring us in to help:
When you need the perspective of a 3rd party that isn’t part of the system or problem
When you don’t have the knowledge and experience to identify and fix the problem yourself
When you lack the time and resources and there's too much at stake
When you need support to help you prioritise and overcome inertia
When you need objectivity

We've scaled and exited our own businesses.
We’ve supported many owner-managers to do the same.
Here's what they have to say about working with us:
“We enjoyed a great working relationship with Andy and Juliana. It helped in us working together to confirm our long-term goals, identify obstacles that were blocking us from achieving those goals and to create a plan to remove the obstacles. They stayed with us while we carried out the plan and kept us on track with a very effective ‘pointy stick’ management tool.”

They helped us review our client acquisition strategy and implement an entirely new approach to winning the right sort of new business. With their help, within 12 months sales had grown significantly and we were back on track.”
