Thanks for taking the
Think Bigger Diagnostic
Your results indicate that your business is operating in the Scalable stage overall. This reflects a business that has been deliberately designed to grow, rather than one that has grown by accident.
At this stage, strategy, systems, and leadership are aligned. The business can perform consistently without requiring constant owner involvement, and it is able to absorb growth or change without losing stability.
This is a stage that relatively few businesses reach, not because it requires working harder, but because it requires making intentional choices over time.
As you review the insights below, notice where continued focus will protect what you’ve built and support the future you’re designing.
At this level, progress is less about fixing gaps and more about sustaining excellence.
What businesses at this stage typically experience
The Success System
Your systems are well documented and integrated. You are clear on your plan for the future of the business, and skills and knowledge are spread across the team. This category considered the load on key individuals, the documentation of your processes and values, and knowing what your business is known for. If this was your lowest category of the five, consider what growth opportunities there are in these areas
Product
Your products are strong. You understand what your customers need, and how your product is a better fit than others on the market. Your results in this category are fantastic, but if it was the lowest of the five, challenge yourself to think about how you can continue to be innovative and bold in the future. What does the next 3-5 years look like? How will your products evolve with the market?
People
Your people and your team are doing well. You lead with process rather than emotion, your team know and understand their roles, and you are retaining talent. Your results in this category are very strong; and you can still use this opportunity to reflect on ways that you can further clarify roles and expectations for your team, lean into 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 strong. You are delivering on your brand promise, and your messaging is effective, targeted and growing your brand. If this is your lowest category of the five, consider the quick wins you can have, including how your marketing can further build trust with potential prospects, and how your product can maximise 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.
