The Biz Doctor®

Freedom Lab · Live on Zoom

Your first step from ChiefEverything Officer to true CEO.

Picture your team handling more without coming to you first, and you spending more of your week on the work only you can do. That starts here. In 90 minutes, we'll find the thing that keeps pulling you back in, get the first piece ready to hand off, and map out what your team and your AI can take on next.

Walk in

With the nagging stuff that keeps eating your time: questions from your team, tiny fires, and the little things in between

Walk out

With your first nag off your plate and a plan for the rest of the hats you're wearing and the annoyances you've been carrying

Ready to take off some of the hats you've been wearing?

You built a good business, but do any of these feel a little too familiar?

Chief Everything Officer

Bouncing between sales, ops, HR, and "what's that login again?" You're wearing a lot of hats, and you're ready to hand a few of them off.

Question Whack-a-Mole

So much of your day goes to answering the same questions and jumping through the same hoops, because the answers live in your head.

Never Enough Time

Busy all day, and still wondering where the time went. Your to-dos and your personal life keep getting pushed to later.

AI Hasn't Clicked Yet

You know it could do more for you. It's hard to get there when what your team and your AI need to know is still in your head.

The good news? You're not alone. This is where a lot of owners are when they step into the Lab.

After the Lab

What starts to change after 90 minutes together.

Less Noise

That "I have to remember everything" feeling starts to lift, because the plan's finally out of your head.

Your First Step to True CEO

You know where to put your energy first, and it's on the stuff that actually grows the business.

A Team That Comes to You Less

Your team starts figuring more out on their own, instead of lining up at your door.

A Path to More Time

More of your week goes back to the work only you can do.

What you'll leave with · 90 minutes, live

1

What keeps pulling you back in

Not sure what it is? That's the first thing we figure out together, using your Freedom Scorecard.

2

One concrete, time-saving step

Not a long list. The one move likely to free up the most time first, ready to hand off this week.

3

A plan to hand it off

Who's going to own it, how you'll tell your team, and what "done right" looks like.

4

Your 90-day plan

What you, your team, and your AI take off your plate next, in the order that frees up the most time. A few owners get a live hot seat with me here.

Bonus

Where your time goes

The real cost of the task that's "just easier to do yourself" adds up.

23min

on average to get back on track after an interruption

Dozens

of those little 5-minute papercuts and interruptions a day

~1month

of your year, gone

What would you do with a month of your year back?

The same email, the same answer, the same little fire, from scratch every time. When you add those up, more than a month of your year disappears – EEK! Let's save that month from being time lost and use it to move your business forward.

If your time's worth $200 an hour, that month is about $32,000. And every week this waits, that's about 3 more hours gone.

Research from Dr. Gloria Mark at UC Irvine found it takes about 23 minutes to refocus after an interruption.

What owners say about working with Lauren

Real client, real Friday

She was dropping balls. Now Friday brings them back to her.

A client of mine kept dropping balls and forgetting things. Not because she didn't care, but because there was way too much living in her head.

So we built her a weekly accountability buddy with AI. Every Friday, it goes through her open loops, the things she still needs to respond to, and anything still sitting on her plate, and brings them right back to the top of her mind.

Her stress and mental clutter went down, and her team and her clients felt the difference too.

"Lauren's AI workshop was one of those rare sessions that meets you exactly where you are, and then moves you forward, quickly."
Alexis DeanFounder, Dovetail Community of Entrepreneurs
"I would've been happy with just a tactical how-to, but like most time spent with Lauren I was served the mindset shift I needed."
Sarah G.Managing Partner, Eminence M&A Strategies
"I'm walking into every day more prepared and focused on strategy instead of scrambling."
Lee PottsPartner, Potts Blacklock Senterfitt, PLLC
"I made some huge changes to my workflow and task scheduling that have already led me to getting much deeper work done."
Lian A.CEO, Bass Boss

This is for you if

  • You own a service business doing $1M to $5M with a team of about 5 to 25
  • You're the go-to for a lot of what happens day to day
  • You're using AI and know it could be doing more for you
  • You want time back without adding another expensive hire
  • You're ready to do the work, with someone in your corner

Real talk

Let me guess. You've already tried a few things.

You took the AI course. Got some cool new tricks. Then Monday hit, and it looked a whole lot like last Monday.

You thought about hiring someone, then realized they'd still have to learn everything from you first. Ugh.

And you've been meaning to sit down and figure it out yourself. It's on the list. It's been on the list for a while.

Here's the thing: none of that means you're doing it wrong. The answers just still live in your head, so everything keeps boomeranging back to you. That's what we untangle together in the Lab.

Freedom Lab · Capped at 11 owners

Ready to take the first hat off?

Everything above, live with me for 90 minutes, plus the AI Implementation Playbook.

Fair warning: by next week, one thing's off your plate and in your team's hands. That's the point.

$495

Honestly? Those little quick questions are already costing you way more than this.

My promise: if you don't leave with one thing ready to hand off, we'll hop on a call and find it together.

Meet your guide

Hi! I'm Lauren Goldstein, The Biz Doctor®

I'm an award-winning business consultant and advisor, and I've spent the last 15 years inside seven- and eight-figure companies, working right alongside owners as they grow and reach the point where the business they built needs a different way of leading.

I've watched so many capable owners wear themselves out trying to do it all, not because they're doing it wrong, but because the business has outgrown being run from one person's head. I got my nickname from a client who told me my specialty is putting a business through an MRI and finding out exactly what needs treating.

The thing I love most is helping owners go from operator to owner, so the business works for you, not because of you, and you can finally have more of the freedom you started your business for.

Questions

Do I have to know a lot about AI?

Not at all. We'll figure out what your team can own and what AI can handle, so it's not all on you, whatever your comfort level.

What do I need to do before we meet?

After you book, you'll take the complimentary Freedom Scorecard and fill out a short intake. Hot seats go to owners who send theirs in.

How is this different from the Unlocking AI Workshop?

The workshop teaches you how to work with AI. The Lab is about your business: finding what keeps pulling you back in, taking your first step, and building your plan.

What happens at the end?

The last 10 minutes are about what's next. You can keep building on your own, and for anyone who wants to keep going together, I'll share how The Owner Residency works. If you join within 7 days of your Lab, your $495 is credited toward it.

How big is the group?

It's capped at 11 owners, so everyone gets real attention and there's room for hot seats.

Let's get you more of the freedom you started your business for and create real capacity.
