The Owner Escape Plan

THE ESCAPE PLAN

What breaks in your business when you're not there?

Spend 4.5 hours working ON your business and leave with a practical 90-day plan to reduce owner dependency, tackle your biggest bottlenecks and get the business moving forward.

And the busier the business gets, the harder it becomes to step away.

That's exactly what we're tackling at The Escape Plan.

Join a small group of Canterbury business owners for a practical 4.5-hour planning workshop designed to help you step away from the day-to-day and focus on what actually needs to change.

This isn't about listening to someone tell you how to run your business.

It's about taking an honest look at where things are now, challenging what's holding you back and building a plan that works for your business.

• A clear 90-day action plan — Know what needs your attention and what can wait.
• Your biggest pressure points identified — Understand where the business relies too heavily on you.
• Clearer ownership and accountability — Identify what needs to be delegated, documented or improved.
• A plan to protect your time — Start making working ON the business part of your normal week.
• A fresh perspective — Work alongside other business owners facing similar challenges.

The goal isn't to solve every problem in one morning.

It's to leave knowing exactly what needs to happen next.

We'll also be joined by Anna from Innovate Digital, who'll share how to maximise the opportunities your marketing is generating.

She'll explore what happens after someone makes an enquiry, how to improve follow-up, and how better CRM systems can help you understand the return on your marketing investment.

Because generating more leads is only part of the equation. Having a business that consistently follows them up is just as important.

This workshop is for business owners who:

• Are busy running the business but struggling to make meaningful progress.
• Feel too many decisions still depend on them.
• Want better systems, clearer responsibilities and more control over their time.
• Are ready to take action rather than keep putting things off.

You don't need a large team or a complicated business.

You just need to be prepared to take an honest look at what's working, what's not, and what you're going to do about it.
