Bring your biggest problem. Find your next step.

It’s a focused 60-minute private conversation designed to help you understand an important business challenge and determine your next step. Unlike a general mentoring call, we start with a specific problem. I’ll review the context you share before the session, ask questions, challenge your assumptions and help you distinguish visible symptoms from the underlying constraint. The intended outcome is clarity about what deserves your attention and a concrete next action. We won’t pretend every complex business issue can be fully resolved in an hour.

You can bring problems related to positioning, sales, pricing, business models, team structure, hiring, leadership, delegation, partnerships, growth priorities or your own role as founder. For example, you might be unsure whether to hire a salesperson, how to handle an underperforming team member, why sales remain dependent on you, or which growth initiative to prioritize. The best starting point is one challenge materially affecting your business and that you can act on. If the situation requires specialist legal, tax or other regulated professional advice, I’ll recommend involving the appropriate professional.

No. You need to know what’s troubling you, not necessarily what’s causing it. You might believe you have a sales problem when the underlying issue is positioning. Or you might think employees aren’t performing when the real issue is unclear accountability. Part of the session is exploring those assumptions. You can arrive with a situation, a difficult decision or a recurring frustration. We’ll work together to understand what lies underneath it.

One hour can be enough to challenge an assumption, clarify a decision or identify a useful next step. It is not enough to redesign an entire company, rebuild a sales organization or resolve every leadership challenge. That’s why the session is intentionally focused. The goal is not to solve every problem. It’s to make meaningful progress on the one that deserves your attention first. If the challenge requires deeper work, we’ll identify that honestly.

You’ll receive a short pre-session questionnaire covering your company, current stage, team, business model and primary challenge. Depending on the problem, I may ask for relevant numbers or context such as organizational structure, offer, pipeline or priorities. You don’t need to create a presentation. I’d rather receive an honest description of what’s happening than a polished version of the business. The more useful context you provide beforehand, the more focused our conversation can be.

I’ll tell you what I think, including where I disagree with your assumptions. I’ll share relevant experience, explore alternatives and recommend a direction when I believe the evidence supports it. But I won’t pretend that one outsider can understand every detail of your company better than you. My role is to improve the quality of your thinking and decisions. You remain responsible for choosing and implementing the action. The strongest outcome is not that you follow my instructions. It’s that you understand why a particular decision makes sense.

You’ll receive a concise written summary covering the main bottleneck identified, key observations, recommended direction and agreed next action. We’ll also define what progress should look like and agree on one accountability check-in. The summary is meant to be practical, not a lengthy consulting report. You should be able to open it the following morning and know what to focus on.

That’s normal. Most growing companies have several connected problems at once. You may be struggling with sales, hiring, delegation and profitability simultaneously. Rather than trying to solve all of them in 60 minutes, we’ll examine which issues are symptoms, which are causes, and which constraint deserves priority. Sometimes solving one underlying issue reduces the pressure created by several others. The objective is to establish a sensible order of action, not create a longer to-do list.

No. The €300 session is a standalone service. You can take the insights, execute independently and never purchase another session. If we discover a larger challenge that would benefit from ongoing support, I may explain how the 90-Day Founder Advisory works. That engagement includes twelve private 1:1 sessions and ongoing decision support over 90 days, at €3,000. There is no obligation to continue.

Consider the decision you’re currently facing. What might it cost if you hire the wrong person, spend another three months pursuing the wrong strategy, continue losing time to recurring problems, or delay a difficult but necessary decision? The value of the session depends on your situation and what you do afterward. I can’t promise a financial return or a particular business outcome. What you’re paying for is focused preparation, an experienced outside perspective, a structured conversation and a practical next step. If that isn’t what you need, the session may not be the right investment.
