Is your Stress from an Unsellable Business?

Helping Business Owners Gain Clarity to Build the Business that Delivers the Life they Desire
I recently met a business owner who was stressed out of her mind.
Every day, she faced employees who were trying to game the system—taking long breaks, cutting corners, and dodging responsibilities. Frustrated, she asked me to help implement a robust behaviour management system to “fix” her team.
But here’s what I uncovered instead:
The real issue wasn’t her employees per se —it was the day-to-day operations of the business.
Her company fell short in terms of robust automation, clear processes, and full accountability systems.
There were user manuals but no complete roadmap for how things should be done or who was responsible.
The result?
Chaos. Confusion. And employees who were, quite frankly, taking the piss.
This lack of structure not only created daily stress for her—it also made her business unsellable.
Why?
Because buyers want to invest in systems, not chaos.
They’re looking for businesses that can operate smoothly without relying on constant oversight from the owner.
When a business is overly dependent on its owner or riddled with inefficiencies, it’s a red flag that sends buyers running for the hills.
Here’s the kicker: Fixing these issues doesn’t just make your business sellable. It also makes your life a whole lot easier right now.
With better automation, clear processes, and a culture of accountability, this business owner not only reduced her stress—she also turned her company into an asset buyers would fight over.
Let me ask you:
