From Overwhelmed to In Control: How Mark Built a Business That Works Without Him
Mark ran a successful distribution business that looked great from the outside. But he knew the truth: it was taking everything he had just to keep it going. Working six or seven days a week, he had nothing left to give. Growing beyond where he was, or even just genuinely earning a proper living, seemed impossible. He couldn’t clone himself.

Testimonials
Bespoke guidance on delegating tasks “Rather than trying to show me how my business could be fitted into one of the instant-growth template systems, Colin took time to get to know me, the business, its history, and its obstacles to growth – including my being involved in far too many areas.
We together identified tasks and functions that I didn’t really need to do myself, and worked out how others could take on responsibilities, so I could focus on the important things. With Colin’s experience in handling people as well as growing businesses, it gave me the courage to make changes. Those have released me from the detailed management of most of the production processes, and given me weekends off, with the occasional holiday!
Our regular catch-up sessions mean that I am accountable to someone whose knowledge and real-world experience I really value.”
Andy Hall, Co-Founder and Managing Director Just Electronics Ltd.
Creating a team that really works “Colin has helped me to create a team that is able to run the whole show; I was able to go on holiday, and for once, my phone was not buzzing for operational requirements. A lot of time has gone into creating a team that manages key strategic areas of the business, and it was wonderful to see this all come together.”
Sumit Anand, Proprietor of AN& Foods
Focus on the important stuff “Colin is helping me encourage the team to work together more. I’m now able to concentrate on more business-critical things. Over time, I can see that they will take on more complex issues, relieve me of even more time-consuming work, and leave me free to drive the business forward and develop it.”
Ranveer Singh Mohal, Free Trade Beers & Minerals Ltd
