Think Bigger Diagnostic
Your results indicate that your business is operating in the Leveraged stage overall. This reflects a business with structure, intent, and capability. Systems and people are creating leverage, and the business no longer relies on constant owner intervention to function day-to-day.
At this stage, much of what you’ve built is working. Decisions are clearer, delivery is more consistent, and momentum exists. However, there may still be reliance on key individuals, informal processes, or unwritten knowledge that limits how confidently the business can scale.
This stage is characteristic of a well-run business that has moved beyond survival and stabilisation, and is now ready for intentional refinement.
As you read through the insights below, notice which areas feel most familiar or fragile right now. That area is often where focused attention will create the greatest stability.
Rather than trying to improve everything at once, strengthening one or two foundations can significantly reduce pressure across the rest of the business.
What businesses at this stage typically experience
The Success System
Your systems are quite well documented. This helps your team members understand what is required of them at all times. This category considered the load on key individuals, the documentation of your processes and values, and knowing what your business is known for. Consider where you could make tweaks to your processes to enhance your systems.
Product
Your products are quite strong. You have an understanding of what your customers need, and how your product is a better fit than others on the market. While your results are promising, challenge yourself to think about how your product can become the 'go-to' option in your industry. How can you be more innovative and bold and stand out to your potential customers?
People
Your people and your team are doing well. You generally lead with process rather than emotion, your team know and understand their roles, and you are generally able to retain talent. While your results are promising, consider ways that you can further clarify roles and expectations, use process to lead difficult conversations, and build capacity in your team.
Profit
Your profit and understanding of how to keep your business profitable are quite good. Whether it's building your wealth, using tools to track your profit and cashflow, or regularly reviewing your pricing, consider the ways you can make small improvements to your current practices; as well as having alternate suppliers for each product (or service) you provide.
Promotion
Your marketing and promotion are quite good. You are delivering on your brand promise, and your messaging is getting to your ideal clients. Consider the quick wins you can have in this category, including how your marketing can actively build trust with potential prospects, and how your product can further enhance commercial outcomes for your clients.

ACCELERATE
A Framework for Business Owners
to create lasting Success
You didn’t start your business to burn out, yet here you are - maxed out on bandwidth, putting out fires instead of building something scalable.
If that sounds familiar, you’ve hit what I call the entrepreneurial ceiling
where growth stalls not due to lack of skill or drive, but because your business still runs on your energy.
Accelerate offers a different path:
A step-by-step framework to transform your business from reactive chaos into strategic, sustainable success.
It helps you build a business by design, not default, using core elements across legacy, strategy and execution. When purpose, alignment and action come together, you don’t just build a successful business - you create one that’s energising, sustainable and impactful, giving you the freedom to lead instead of survive.
