Alex Hormozi calls it "The Swamp" - that $1-3M revenue range where businesses get stuck.
You know the spot:
• Revenue looks good ($1-3M)
• Profits are decent (around 20%)
• But scaling further seems impossible
Here's why:
Getting to $1-3M didn't require much structure. You could run on hustle,...
What if you could see your entire business on a single screen... and still drill down to any detail in seconds?
Not just high-level metrics.
Not just project lists.
But a true strategic view of everything happening in your business.
Here's what most businesses have instead:
• Projects scattered...
Ever notice how every part of your business has their own "special way" of tracking work?
Marketing uses Trello boards.
Operations has their Google Docs system.
Sales tracks everything in spreadsheets.
Support... well, they mostly use chat.
Each system works (sort of). But here's the real probl...
Ever launch a funnel and feel that sinking disappointment when it doesn't perform like you hoped?
Here's a recent story that might sound familiar:
• Lead magnet opt-in working well
• $12 cost per lead (actually pretty good!)
• Quality leads flowing in
• But... no sales
Why? Because we didn't g...
Your team can't work together effectively when they only see half the picture...
I first learnt about running teams from master business coach Jim Rohn. (yes, old school but hey, I still have the CDs for Art of Exceptional Living)
Jim said, “Running teams is like herding cats”.
Ie. Difficult.

Ever opened a carefully designed template only to find it full of the last person's work?
"No problem," you think, "I'll just make a copy of this filled version, then delete all the data to get my template back..."
20 minutes later, you're still cleaning up formatting and frustrated you got stuck ...
Remember when work used to take days? Oddly enough, those might have been more relaxing times for business owners...
Here's what I'm seeing everywhere:
AI tools are making everything faster - except the bottleneck at the top (that's you).
Think about it...
• Two years ago: Team member gets task,...
Ever notice how some business owners seem chained to their phones, constantly telling people what to do next, while others barely need to check in?
Here's the thing: The difference often comes down to one simple switch in thinking...
Are you assigning work to people, or people to work?
Sounds lik...
The world markets have been in meltdown.
As you know Trump has introduced harsh tariffs on many countries that sell goods in the USA.
You may have seen the Ferris Beuler replays suggesting the foolishness of this strategy.
The world is very different from 2 centuries ago when the States successfu...
In the early days, your business doesn’t need systems—until it does.
As you grow, the moving parts multiply, and casual chats can’t keep up.
The real challenge?
Retrofitting systems when you’re already drowning in long hours and stalled growth.
Documenting what’s done and how is the easy part.
...Ever wondered how to make systems work for your business? It starts with understanding what they are—and I learned this the hard way...
I knew the advantages of systems... do the right work in the right order.
I went after a strange target.
The system to create systems.
Sounds nice. If I knew th...
Missing netball games and coffee beans showed me why visibility is everything in life.
My wife had to travel and I've been single parenting for the week.Â
The coffee beans ran out.
Netball was missed.
But the kids were fed, dressed, and where they needed to be.
Going from two parents to one jus...
