Your business can’t run without you.
Imagine if it could.

Step away and everything keeps moving. Clients are fully supported, work is delivered seamlessly and your team knows exactly what to do.

Freedom isn’t built on hope, it’s built on confidence. The 30-Day Test proves if your business could really run without you – and pinpoints what breaks if it can’t.

Because if your business can survive 30 days without you, it can survive anything.

You’re the backbone. And that’s the problem.

Take one step back and the whole thing wobbles.
Every email. Every decision. Every fire. It all lands on you.

You never set out to build a business that traps you.
But with a small team, the weight always falls back on your shoulders.

This is for owners who’ve had enough.
Ready to finally run a business that runs without you?

I’ll help you install the backbone your business needs – so it can stand tall without you holding it up.

This is for you if:

  • You can’t take a proper break without stress.
  • Your team waits for you to make every decision
  • You’re always the one who steps in to fix things.
  • You’ve tried to systemise – but nothing sticks.
  • You’ve bought courses, read books… and still feel stuck.
  • You know it has to change – but don’t know where to start.

More growth. More value. More freedom. Less you.

Why This Time Is Different

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

You’ve already got the theory.

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 filter the noise, focus on what counts, and fix what holds you back.
Slow and steady. The right things, in the right order. Done the right way.

Your business creates noise. The Backbone turns it into clarity, priorities, and progress blocks – so growth stacks up without you stuck at the centre.

  • Weekly rhythm – no more firefighting
  • Momentum that keeps moving forward
  • Clear steps – no overwhelm or confusion
  • Accountability – no drift or delay
  • Progress without you at the centre

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.
