You’ve built something real.
Your business is generating 6–7 figures, you’ve hired a small team, and you’re gaining traction.

But behind the scenes, it feels different.

You’re in every decision. 

Revenue is up and down. 

Your team isn’t fully aligned. 

You’re wearing every hat sales, marketing, ops, HR, finance. 

And most days are spent putting out fires instead of moving forward.

That’s where I come in.

I created The Business Growth Accelerator a 12-week program designed to help Growth Builders like you install a Founder Operating System. 

This gives you the clarity, structure, and rhythm you need to scale without burnout.

In 12 weeks, you’ll walk away with:

✅ A 91-day strategic plan with 3–5 clear priorities.

✅ A weekly rhythm of focus meetings & accountability.

✅ A clear lead-to-cash map & pipeline system.

✅ 5–10 SOPs documented so the team takes ownership.

✅ 8–15 hrs/week back as you step out of firefighting.

This isn’t another tactic, tool, or quick hire.

It’s a system for scaling so you can grow your business and reclaim your life.

If you’re a 6–7 figure founder with a small team and you’re ready to scale smarter, let’s talk.

𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘅 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆. 

Actually doing it? That’s a whole different story. 

👇 

I’ve trained thousands of professionals on how to manage their inbox and get to zero.
 
Everyone left the sessions knowing exactly what to do.  But when I’d ask, “𝘞𝘩𝘰’𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺?” ...not many hands went up.
 
And honestly?  Mine wouldn’t either.
 
It wasn’t a lack of knowledge.  It was the sheer 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗲 of messages, the context switching, and the pressure to always be "on."
 
So I went back to the drawing board.
 
After extensive research, testing, and rebuilding, I created a 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘅𝗲𝘀, powered by AI and rooted in GTD + Inbox Zero principles.
 
Here’s how it works:
 
 
🔴 Phase 1: Eliminate the Backlog
 
Overwhelmed by thousands of emails?  

→ 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗸 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘃𝗲 everything older than 90 days.  
→ Use “𝟭𝟬-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘇” 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 to clear recent clutter fast.  
→ And if a message takes <2 mins? 𝗗𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄.
 
Clear space. Gain momentum.
 
 
🔵 Phase 2: Build the System
 
Organise your inbox using the 𝟱-𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗧𝗗 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱:  
📥 Inbox – Collects new emails  
🟥 Today/Action – Needs action within 24h  
🟩 This Week/Defer – To handle later in the week  
🟦 Waiting For – Delegated or needs follow-up  
🟨 FYI/Reference – Info only
 
🔁 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀: Use filters or AI rules to 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 like newsletters and updates.
 
 
🟢 Phase 3: Daily Execution
 
Email isn’t a to-do list.  
✔️ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 (no constant checking)  
✔️ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀  
✔️ 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀 directly on your calendar
 
You control the inbox — not the other way around.
 
 
🟠 Phase 4: Weekly Maintenance
 
Stay ahead, not buried.  
🕒 Block 90 mins weekly to review  
📂 Follow up on any “Waiting For” items  
🧠 Do a quick 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗽 to clear your mental inbox too
 
Consistency beats chaos.
 
 
This system is simple, powerful, and now 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗔𝗜 𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 that do the heavy lifting.
 
📅 I’m running a 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 to walk you through it step-by-step.

Helping 6–7 Figure Founders Install Systems & Clarity | Step Out of Firefighting & Scale Smarter with The Business Growth Accelerator

Most founders don't fail from lack of effort.

They fail because their calendar is stuck in the past.

After working with 100+ Leaders & founders, 

I discovered something shocking:

→ 73% operate with outdated time allocation
→ Their daily tasks match their Pre-Seed stage
→ But their company needs Series A leadership

The result? They become the bottleneck.

Here's the brutal truth:

Your company evolves through 5 distinct stages.
But your calendar? It stays frozen in time.

You're still coding at midnight when you should be recruiting.
Still in every meeting when you should be delegating.
Still firefighting when you should be strategizing.

The problem compounds fast:

Stage 1: Pioneer (0-10 employees)
↳ You're everywhere, doing everything
↳ 80% execution, 20% strategy
↳ This works... until it doesn't

Stage 2: Builder (10-50 employees)
↳ Company needs systems, not heroics
↳ But you're still playing Pioneer
↳ Team gets confused, growth stalls

Stage 3: Architect (50-200 employees)
↳ The organisation needs a real CEO
↳ You're still managing like a Builder
↳ Culture breaks, talent leaves

The gap between who you are and who your company needs?
That's where startups die.

Enter the Chronos Protocol.

It's a time allocation system that evolves with your startup:

Phase 1: Map your current stage
↳ Audit where your time actually goes
↳ Identify tasks from previous stages
↳ Spot the "fake work" killing progress

Phase 2: Define your next evolution
↳ What does your company need in 6 months?
↳ Which activities drive that outcome?
↳ What must you stop doing today?

Phase 3: Redesign your calendar
↳ Block time for stage-appropriate work
↳ Delegate everything from past stages
↳ Protect focus time religiously

Phase 4: Track and adjust weekly
↳ Measure time allocation vs. targets
↳ Identify drift immediately
↳ Course-correct before it compounds

The founders who scale past £10M?

They update their operating system as fast as their company grows.

The ones who plateau at £2M?
Still operating like it's day one.

Your calendar is either your growth engine or your ceiling.

Can AI Help You Tame Your Inbox?

Watch this...

In this video, I share how I've been using AI tools to manage my inbox, successfully reducing around 900 emails down to zero without any manual effort.

I also demonstrate how these tools can automate LinkedIn outreach, saving significant time.

My goal is to help you use AI efficiently, rather than getting distracted by the hype. 

I invite you to join my workshop tomorrow at 4 p.m. UK time, where I'll walk you through these techniques and discuss additional strategies. Let's work together to enhance our productivity with AI!

Twitter was born from a failed startup.

In 2005, Evan Williams co-founded a podcast platform called Odeo.

Then Apple announced podcasting on iTunes. Odeo was dead in the water.

But instead of giving up, Williams asked his team to brainstorm side projects. 

One of those projects? 

A simple status-update tool called 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿.

Self-leadership isn’t about avoiding failure. 

It’s about how fast you can 𝗽𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁, learn, and try again.

If you're facing a dead end right now, ask: 

“What could be waiting in the ashes of this idea?”

Failure is data. 

Use it.

This failure cost millions...

𝘣𝘶𝘵 became the reason he impacted the world.

When Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple in the 1980s, many saw it as the end of his story. 

But he reframed that failure into a reinvention arc.

Instead of retreating, he founded NeXT and bought a small graphics division that became Pixar.

Years later, Apple acquired NeXT—and with it, Jobs returned.

Not as the same leader, but as a stronger one. 

Refined by rejection. 

Fueled by experience.

Self-leadership starts with this question: 

"𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆?"

🧠 Every founder should build a “failure resume”....a ritual that turns setbacks into strategic assets.

👉 What’s a failure that shaped your leadership?

Need to move from overwhelm to order?

These 3 small shifts can make a big difference

When every day feels like a blur of urgent tasks, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

Try these small shifts:

• Set Boundaries: Block out one hour a day for deep work—no emails, no interruptions.

• Document a Process: Pick one routine task and write down the steps. This makes it easier to hand over later.

• Ask for Help: Don’t wait until you’re drowning, bring your team into the conversation early.

If you’re looking for more ways to move from chaos to control, join our next webinar and we will go deeper:

Why Strategic Thinking Isn’t a Luxury

It’s Your Secret Weapon 🔑

A lot of founders still treat strategy as a once-a-year offsite… or something only “big companies” can afford.

But in reality, strategic thinking is your secret weapon as a founder.

It’s what separates those who are constantly firefighting from those quietly building resilient, future-ready businesses.

Strategic thinking is what bridges the gap between:

- Your daily operations and your long-term vision
- What’s urgent today and what really matters over the next 3–5 years
- Being busy… and actually making meaningful progress

It’s not about having a perfect plan.
It’s about learning to:

- Adapt when things change
- Spot opportunities earlier than others
- Align your team so everyone is pulling in the same direction

Founders who think strategically consistently report:

- Faster, more sustainable growth
- Better team alignment and ownership
- Less chaos and fewer “surprise” crises

The first shift is simple (but not always easy):

👉 Move from reactive leadership (“putting out fires”)
 to proactive leadership (designing where you’re going and how you’ll get there).

Where could you step back and think more strategically this week?

Would you sacrifice $100M to do the right thing?

In 1982, Tylenol faced a national crisis. 

Seven people died after taking cyanide-laced capsules.

Johnson & Johnson didn’t wait. 

They pulled 31 million bottles...losing over $100M overnight.

Why?

Because they believed 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 > 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁.

The brand not only survived...it became one of the most trusted in the world.

Self-leadership means having ethical guardrails before the storm hits. 

Decide now, so you don’t compromise later.

💡 Tip: Build a “Daily Integrity Check-In” to stay aligned with your values, even under pressure.

What would you do when no one is watching?

This one belief can change how you lead forever.

Carol Dweck calls it a 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁...

..the belief that your abilities can be developed through effort and learning.

Founders with a fixed mindset fear failure. Founders with a growth mindset 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝘁.

That shift changes everything:

✅ Setbacks = feedback 

✅ Challenges = skill-building 

✅ Criticism = coaching

Adopting a growth mindset doesn’t just help you lead...it helps you 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁.

🛠 Pro move: Before making a decision, ask “Why?” three times. 

It builds clarity and connects action to your purpose.

What’s one mindset shift that helped you grow this year?

If you can’t lead yourself, 

.....you’re not ready to lead others.

It’s easy to believe leadership starts with strategy, vision, or charisma. 

But the truth?

It starts with your 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗦: 

🛠 Resilience under pressure 

🛠 Integrity under temptation 

🛠 Growth mindset under uncertainty

As the founder, your mindset 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 your culture. 

Your values shape how others show up.

𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗿. 

Without it, everything else is noise.

This week, I’ve shared 7 core lessons from “The Character Core” that changed how I view leadership.

If you missed one, let me know, I’ll share it.

👇Which of the 7 resonated with you most?

You can’t scale what you don’t understand.

That’s why every founder needs to answer these 5 questions.....before building anything else.
👇

Most chaos isn’t due to bad execution.

It’s due to strategic fog.

At BLC, we have the 5 foundational questions to bring instant clarity to early-stage founders:

WHO – Who are you serving, and what do they really want?
WHAT – What makes your offer irresistible and different?
WHERE – Where do you find your ideal customer, and at what cost?
HOW – How does your business actually make money?
WHEN – When are you acting, reviewing, and adjusting?

Simple questions.

Powerful focus.

When you answer them, you cut through noise, ditch distractions, and make smarter decisions.

✅ Clearer strategy
✅ Smarter priorities
✅ Better execution
🔁 Revisit these questions regularly. Your clarity is not a one-time event.

👉 Take 10 minutes today to answer them for your business.

What new insight emerges?

#startups #founders #strategy #clarity #growthmindset

The most powerful resume you’ll ever build has no wins on it.

Stanford professor Tina Seelig calls it your 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲.

It lists every major mistake....then forces you to extract the learnings.

🧩 Why did it fail? 

🧩 What would I do differently? 

🧩 How did it shape me as a leader?

Too often, founders pay the “tuition of failure” but never show up for class.

Self-leadership means turning pain into wisdom. 

Document it. 

Reflect on it. 

Teach from it.

💥 Bonus: 

Share one “failure bullet point” in the comments. 

Let's normalise the lessons.

You don’t rise to the level of your goals; 

....you fall to the level of your systems.

Leadership isn’t built in the big moments; it’s forged in the daily ones.

The founders who endure aren't just smarter or luckier. 

They’ve built 𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘴 that sharpen their resilience, values, and clarity.

3 self-leadership rituals worth stealing:

1️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲 

Turn past losses into future leverage. 

Mine the lessons. 

Document them.

2️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝗜𝗻 

Ask: 

“Where was I tempted today? 

Did I stay true to my values?” 

Make integrity a habit, not a hope.

3️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗪𝗵𝘆𝘀 

Before any major decision, ask “

Why?” three times. 

Surface the 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 reason. 

Connect action to mission.

You don’t become a better leader by accident. 

You build systems that make better choices automatic.

🧠 Which of these 3 would shift your leadership the most right now?

𝗘𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗽: 𝟯 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲

Ever feel like your business can’t function without you? 

The Operator Trap is real, and it’s exhausting.

Here are three ways to start breaking free:

• Time Audit: Track where your hours actually go for one week. You’ll spot hidden drains on your attention.

• Delegate One Task: Choose a single recurring task and hand it over, even if it’s not perfect at first.

• Weekly Leadership Meeting: Set a regular time to step back and focus on the bigger picture, not just the urgent fires.
