Background to John Cottrell
96% of business owners never celebrate their 10th Business Birthday and it’s not for want of candles!
It’s because they either go broke, or they disappear. In fact, most never make it past year three.
Either way, they never make the income, or the impact they were capable of. That clarity or certainty of success never quite materialised.
Even for the survivors, many still just have a job. Without them being at the helm on every watch, their crew would steer the ship straight onto the rocks.
It doesn’t have to be that way. And it’s not your fault.
When you started, self-employed, everything depended on you. That’s how you learned to run your business. It’s also what’s limiting you.
See, most businesses don’t have many systems at all. Instead, they rely on what’s in your head. You tie up all the major sales, sign off all the projects, and make all the decisions. The employees just have to do what they are told.
The problem is your limit becomes the business’s limit.
You can’t seem to find the right people who can do it as well as you. No-one has the customer relationships that you do and no-one can match your industry experience.
All up, it takes too long. It’s too hard. And it can’t scale. What you have is busyness rather than a business.
The result: Your income. Your impact. And your independence. All limited.
That is where John comes in.
John helps people turn their busyness into a real business that runs without them.
Businesses that:
• Produce the profit that funds the desired lifestyle and future of the owner
• Allow the owner to have all the holidays they want without sacrificing standards
• Achieve significant growth through a team that works for the owner
The result is a successful business that works without you — where you get to enjoy more money, more time off and more peace of mind.
