CEO Reset Part1: Find the ONE system that's breaking your business
How Two Conversations Led to the CEO ResetLast week, two things happened that changed everything. First, my co-founder and friend Phumla and I ran a Reset Challenge for healthcare practice owners. The 4-day challenge was action-packed and full of best practice. At the end of the challenge, I reflected on what we had just taken people through—a collection of frameworks that I have, at one time or another, used myself, but not as it was presented. You know what they say about the cobbler’s children… Second, I met with a coaching client for the first time this year and we talked about setting aside a CEO hour every week and focusing on setting up the week right. He asked me about the agenda that he could use for this CEO hour. As I was reflecting on the day I had, I realized: this is what every business person needs, not just healthcare practitioners. And there’s more to this than just the CEO hour or the reset exercises. How do CEOs know what to work on? How do business owners identify the system that needs the most work, and how do they know what to work on? The CEO Reset was born. Then I Did Something Interesting I sat down and took myself through the tools that we had presented. What happened next almost surprised me. The exercise brought amazing structure, focus, and clarity to my week, to my goals, and to what I need to focus on this month. I was able to add a “numbers layer” to it to give me an idea of what needs to be done in a week to ensure a sustainable business. It was incredibly insightful. Here I was, running these frameworks for clients, teaching these systems to other business owners, and I hadn’t fully implemented them for myself. The cobbler’s children, indeed. But here’s where it gets better: After I did the work, I saw where we could add additional layers to make the templates even more valuable. The tools that came out of the Reset Challenge were good. The tools I’m releasing now? They’re next level. The 6 Systems Every Business Needs Every business—whether startup or scaling—runs on 6 systems: 1. Leadership & Strategy - Vision, priorities, and decision-making When all 6 work in harmony, you scale. When ONE breaks, everything feels chaotic. What’s Coming Over the next 10 weeks, we are going to unpack this programme, the rhythm, the systems, and the habits in the Solutioneers blog series. Each week, we’ll dive deep into one aspect of the CEO Reset: - How to identify which system is breaking your business - The Weekly CEO Power Hour (and why it’s non-negotiable) - Month-by-month system focus strategies - Quarterly reset rituals that actually work - Real frameworks you can implement immediately Join the 90-Minute Mini-Workshop (Limited Spots)I will be releasing this programme as a 90-minute mini-workshop, but only to those who pre-register their spot by clicking on this link: ​YES! Add Me To The Waiting List ​ In this intensive session, you’ll get: Investment: R1,997 Dates: To be announced Only those on the waitlist will receive marketing emails about this as I don’t want to bombard my blog readers with email. P.S. Next week, we’re starting with the uncomfortable truth: Why working 60+ hours isn’t moving your business forward. See you then.

Over the last three weeks, we've been building the foundation of the CEO Reset. Week 1, we identified the 6 systems every business needs to scale. Week 2, we learned to prioritise properly and time-block our ideal week. Week 3, we defined our destination: our mission and OKRs that give us direction. If you've been doing the work, you should be feeling clearer about where you're going and what matters most. But here's where most CEOs stumble: They do the exercises once, feel great about it,...
Over the last two weeks, we've done some important groundwork. Week 1, we introduced the CEO Reset and the 6 systems every business needs to scale. Week 2, we cleared the mental clutter, sorted our priorities, and built an ideal week designed to produce results—not just fill time. If you did the work, you should already be feeling a little more in control. This week, we go deeper. And in many ways, this is the most important email in the entire series. Because here's the uncomfortable truth...
Last week I introduced you to the CEO Reset and the 6 systems every business needs to scale. If you missed it, you can catch up here: [LINK TO LAST WEEK'S BLOG] TThis week we're getting practical. Fast. Because here's the truth most productivity gurus won't tell you: Your to-do list isn't a plan. It's a source of anxiety. Most business owners I work with start their week feeling like they're already behind. My friend and co-founder Phumla told me that she plans on a Sunday night so that when...
