The operational backbone that turns scattered consulting into systematic business—without working more hours.
After 36 years of consulting, I've watched hundreds of capable consultants drown in operational chaos. They've proven they can do the work—clients hire them, revenue flows, referrals come. But beneath that apparent success, they're exhausted. Working at capacity with nothing left over for strategy. Spending weekends recovering instead of living.
The problem isn't their expertise. It's the absence of operational infrastructure.
Business OS provides twelve frameworks that systematically fix what's broken: scattered business models, unqualified prospects, scope creep, time-based pricing, reinvented delivery, backwards scheduling, and capability-based overwhelm. The operational backbone you should have built three years ago.
The Problem:
Established consultants (3-10 years in business, £30K-£100K revenue) face a paradox: They've proven they can do the work, but they're drowning in operational chaos. Not because they're incompetent—because they're good. Good enough that clients keep hiring them, referrals keep coming, and they haven't had breathing room to build the operational backbone that makes any of this sustainable.
They're running 2-3 business models simultaneously without realizing it. Wasting 40% of capacity pursuing unqualified prospects. Giving away expertise for free during sales conversations. Treating repeatable work as custom every time. Pricing based on time instead of value. Reinventing delivery from scratch with each engagement. Scheduling their best work during their worst energy windows. Saying yes to everything they're capable of doing.
The result: Working 45+ hours weekly, exhausted by Friday, spending weekends recovering, wondering how long they can sustain this pace.
The Solution:
Business OS provides twelve systematic frameworks organized in three parts:
Part 1: Reality Check (The Diagnostics)
Four frameworks that make operational chaos visible:
