From frantic to focused in five months
When Priya came to us, her digital design studio was turning over £380k a year but she was working 70-hour weeks and barely paying herself. Scope creep on client projects was eating margins alive.
We restructured her service packages from hourly billing to fixed-scope sprints, introduced a client intake questionnaire that filtered out poor-fit leads, and built a capacity planner so she could see utilisation rates at a glance.
Five months in, revenue was up 28% and I was finishing work by six most days. The capacity planner alone changed how I think about taking on new projects.

Results like these are typical when a founder commits to the weekly rhythm and does the homework between calls. Not every engagement produces a 28% revenue jump, but the operational improvements tend to show up within the first quarter.
