Is Your Business Growing — or Just Getting Better at Depending on You?
Discover the hidden bottlenecks keeping you stuck in daily decisions, sales, and operations. Take the Founder Bottleneck Scorecard to see where your business relies on you most — and what to fix first.
Built for owners of established $1M–$10M businesses who want predictable growth and more freedom from day-to-day operations.
You built a successful business. So why does everything still come back to you?
Your team needs your approval. Important deals need your involvement. Marketing slows down when you’re busy. And taking a real vacation feels impossible.
The problem may not be how hard you work. It may be how your business is designed to operate.
This scorecard helps you pinpoint where founder-dependence is slowing growth — before you hire another person, add another tool, or work another late night.
Inside the Founder Bottleneck Scorecard, you’ll get:
- 25 statements to assess how dependent your company is on you.
- A simple scoring method to identify your level of founder-dependence.
- Five diagnostic areas: sales; leads and marketing; team; operations; and decisions, clients, cash.
- Guidance for interpreting your results and identifying the most important constraints.
- A time audit and a library of recommended fixes to help you choose practical next steps.
Stop guessing where the bottleneck is.
In about 15 minutes, you’ll have a clearer picture of what keeps landing on your desk, which systems or decision rights may be missing, and where to focus first.
You don’t need 25 new initiatives. You need to identify the few changes that will make the biggest difference.
This is for you if:
- You own or lead an established business generating roughly $1M–$10M annually.
- Your team still depends on you to close deals, approve decisions, or solve recurring problems.
- You want steadier lead flow, a stronger team, and a business that can run without your constant involvement.
- You’re considering a future sale, succession, or simply reclaiming your time.

I’ve started, scaled, and sold three businesses. Today I help established founders diagnose what’s holding back growth and build the sales, marketing, and leadership systems that reduce founder-dependence.
This assessment is designed to help you see the underlying constraints — not just the symptoms.
