What would you do if your business didn’t need you every day?

For most founders, the business has grown,  but somehow life seems smaller.

Founders get into business to chase their dreams

More freedom, more control, a better life. What they didn't expect was to end up more trapped than ever. Longer hours than any employee would tolerate. Every decision landing on their desk. A business that's grown, but somehow made life smaller, not bigger. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

More freedom, more control, a better life. What they didn’t expect was to end up more trapped than ever. Longer hours than any employee would tolerate. Every decision landing on their desk. A business that’s grown — but somehow made life smaller, not bigger. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

And it's likely more fixable than you think.

Many founders we talk to are stuck in the same place…

The business is doing reasonably well. But growth has plateaued. The team is capable but not quite stepping up the way you need them to. And most decisions, big and small, still come back to you. You're the bottleneck and you know it.

Glenn's Story →

Most problems in business are not strategy problems

They are systems and leadership problems.

And they can be solved.

Could your business run sustainably without you?

“

I could see what needed to change. I just couldn't find the space to actually change it while I was running everything.

I’d watched Glenn build a successful business while still carving out big chunks of time for his family, which is the dream for most business owners, but most of us have no idea how to actually make it happen. Since engaging Waymakers we’ve built a genuine leadership team, agreed on the cultural values we want our whole business to live by, and have a clear plan that Glenn holds us accountable to. It’s great to work with someone who hasn’t just theorised this stuff, he’s actually done it.

Tim — Founder

Glenn grew a very successful business in the same industry as mine. His business led our industry and had an amazing team culture. which allowed Glenn to pursue other passions and business endeavours along the way. Since engaging Waymakers we’ve created a clear strategy and pathway for growth, and built dashboards that keep us focused on the metrics that actually matter for our specific business. What I appreciate most is that Waymakers isn’t a cookie-cutter approach, it draws on real wisdom to deliver something genuinely tailored to you.
