Your business depends on you. It shouldn’t.

You’ve built something successful, but you can’t step away without things breaking.

Your leadership team still waits for your input. Key decisions still come to you. The business stalls when you’re not there.

I help founders build leadership teams and systems that operate without them – so you can step back, lead strategically, or exit when you’re ready.

You’ve built something successful. Now you’re trapped in it.

You can’t step away without things breaking.
Your leadership team waits for your input on everything.
You’re still the bottleneck – even with capable people around you.

You didn’t build this business to run it forever.
But extracting yourself feels impossible.

This is for you if:

  • You have a leadership team that still relies on you too much
  • The business stalls when you step away
  • You’ve built systems, but they don’t stick
  • You want to lead strategically – or exit entirely
  • You’re ready to make yourself optional

How It Works

STEP BACK

We help you extract from day-to-day operations.

STEP IN

We develop your key people to lead independently.

STEP UP

We enable your team to operate without constant oversight.

This is how we build systems, develop leaders, and create the operating rhythm that makes your business run without you.

Why This Time Is Different

This isn’t about learning more. It’s about fixing what matters.

You’ve already got the theory.
What you need now is clarity, focus, and support to make it real.

This isn’t a course you watch. It’s a path you follow – with help.
It’s a system – built with practical tools, guided steps, and sleeves-rolled-up support.

We don’t add to your to-do list.
We help you see clearly, prioritise what matters, and fix what’s keeping the business dependent on you.
Slow and steady. The right things, in the right order. Done the right way.

Why I Do This

Hi, I’m Diarmid Sloan. I’ve built businesses that ran without me – even when life pulled me away. Not by luck. By design.

After 20 years in SaaS and a multi-million-pound exit, I realised most founders don’t need another course.

They need systems. They need support.
And they need a way out of the bottleneck.

That’s what I build with you – a backbone your business can stand on.
So you can step back, grow stronger, and claim your freedom.

You’ve built something that works.
Now let’s build it to run without you.

It starts with one small shift – making room to step back.
Whether you’re ready to dive in or just testing the water, your next move is simple.
