Fix Business Systems Leaks & Improve Workflow
You’ve got money coming in the front… so why does it feel like you’re always ankle-deep in chaos with nothing left at the end of the month?
Simple. Your business has the plumbing of a dodgy reno job—twists, blockages, and leaks everywhere.
Sales Are Flowing In—So Why’s Nothing Coming Out?
Water in, water out. Simple, right?
Sales flow in.
They pass through your team, your tech, your processes, your pricing, your fulfilment… And what should come out the other side is a strong, reliable stream of profit and time.
But if you’re like most NZ founder-managers I meet, what actually happens is:
Water goes in
You wrestle with valves and knobs (aka people, invoices, software)
It backs up, spurts sideways, and occasionally explodes
You mop the floor
Repeat
It’s not that you aren’t capable. It’s that the system was never designed properly.
And now?
You’re the one holding the wrench, trying to keep it all together.
Warning Signs Your Plumbing’s Off
You might be suffering from:
Decision clog: Everything waits for your sign-off
Cash flow leaks: You’re busy, but the numbers don’t add up
Pressure build-up: You’re running on fumes (and coffee)
Team taps: Everyone’s doing their own thing, and no one’s quite in sync
Backflow: You solve the same problems every damn month
Worst part? You’re so used to the dysfunction, you’ve forgotten what flow feels like.
What Coaching Actually Fixes
Coaching isn’t just about mindset and motivation. It’s about rerouting the pipes so you’re not the pump.
Here’s what I help NZ founder-managers do:
Rewire decision-making so the business doesn’t wait for you
Build client-led metrics so you know what’s working (and what’s not)
Replace duct tape systems with scalable, repeatable processes
Get you out of the basement and into the architect’s seat
And yes—help your profit and sanity actually show up
It’s not therapy. It’s plumbing design—so the thing flows.
A Recent Result: Setting the Foundation for Scale
I recently worked with a founder who was in the early stages of building his business—wearing every hat, juggling big ideas, and trying to figure out how to grow without losing control.
He enrolled in the Full Business Rehab programme to build a solid foundation before hiring his first employee.
Together, we created clarity around direction, simplified decision-making, and set up systems and metrics that made it easy to delegate tasks without abdicating responsibility.
“Chris helped me turn big, sometimes messy ideas into focused action. He listens, challenges, and genuinely wants your business to succeed.”
The result?
He’s now confident bringing someone into the business—not to take over, but to take things forward, with a structure that supports scale instead of chaos.
If you’re building your business and want to scale smart from the start, this is the place to begin.
Final Thought
You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re just stuck fixing leaks in a system you didn’t have time to build right the first time.
Let’s fix the plumbing. Let’s make it flow.
