How this 1 thing in your entrepreneurial DNA can sabotage your business growth.

Updated: Apr 14, 2023

Most entrepreneurs eventually feel overwhelmed to keep the business g(r)o(w)ing. Because they excel in getting things done, they intuitively do more as the business grows, until it’s simply not effective anymore.

They excel in getting things done. Bootstrappers who turn problems into businesses...


The simple truth is this:


Growing a business adds complexity. More colleagues, more clients, more meetings, more challenges… And while bootstrapping is essential for early-stage success, it may limit your business in the long run.


Does this sound familiar?


  • Every day, you are firefighting just to keep things running.

  • You feel responsible for solving every problem that pops up, because well, you’re the boss.

  • Goals and strategies only exist on paper.

  • Hiring the right colleagues feels like Russian roulette, keeping them is even harder.

  • Revenue and profit are sometimes better than expected, but seldom what you planned for.

  • The fun and excitement of having a business isn’t what it used to be.

Yes? Well, it happens to the best of us.


Gradually, unconsciously, unwillingly…


The solution?

Stop doing everything yourself!


Sounds simple? Well, for most entrepreneurs it’s counterintuitive. It goes against their very nature. They prefer doing over delegating and bootstrapping over managing…


We help entrepreneurs evolve from pure bootstrappers to managers by systemizing how they want their business to run:


  • Clear roles, processes and purpose allow you to delegate.

  • An efficient meeting rhythm ensures you all work on what matters most.


Combined you have a system of habits that frees up time and headspace to work on your company’s future, without losing control, doing all the work alone, or burning up. The result is snackable growth. Growth you and your team can handle, solely generated with your people, your time and your budget.


If you want to start delegating instead of doing, get in touch with us!
