I'd been winging it for years, and I was the bottleneck in my own business. Working with Latham got me focused and out of the day to day. My confidence is in a completely different place now.

Sound familiar?

Your business looks successful.
But it doesn't feel that way.

These are the patterns that hold $500K+ service businesses at a ceiling, and the ones we fix first.

Profit

Revenue looks decent. Profit quietly disappears.

"Somewhere between just doing it for them, rework, and jobs that take longer than we priced. It's hard not to feel ripped off by my own business."

Bottleneck

Everything queues behind you.

"Nothing really moves until it comes back to me. Pricing, expectations, approvals. Even with a team, I'm still the checkpoint everything routes through."

Home life

Sales still steals your nights.

"Follow-ups, proposals, nudges. If I don't do it, momentum dies. The cost shows up at home, where I'm physically there but not really there."

Team

You hired for space. You got more checking.

"I'm paying for help and still carrying the responsibility. Every hire added more to watch, fix, or redo, not less."

Capacity

Busy periods break things.

"When we get busy, the first thing that slips creates a cascade. Messy handoffs, wobbly deadlines, noisy clients. And I'm back in the middle."

Revenue ceiling

You keep bouncing off the same number.

"It's not demand. Something always goes wrong when we get close to the next level, and I end up paying for growth with more of me."

What changes

What you'll walk away with

Not motivation. Not frameworks you won't implement. Real structural change to how your business operates.

01

Profit that doesn't disappear

We find and close the exact leaks: rework, underpricing, scope creep. Margin becomes predictable, not accidental.

02

A business that moves without you

Your team makes decisions. Approvals stop piling up. You stop being the last gate everything routes through.

03

Sales that don't require your nights

A pipeline and follow-up rhythm that keeps momentum going without you personally chasing leads after hours.

04

A team that owns their work

Clear accountability, decision authority, and a shared sense of what good looks like, so they stop bouncing everything back to you.

05

Revenue you can actually trust

A pipeline that isn't dependent on your personal network or one fragile lead source. Predictable, not lucky.

06

Clarity on what to do next

Focus, structure, and a coach who has built service businesses, so you're not guessing what actually moves the needle.

The process

How it works

No lock-in. Built around the specific constraints in your business, not a generic program everyone runs through.

1

Free strategy session

You'll get a clear, honest picture of exactly what's holding your business back, and what to fix first. No pitch, no pressure. We give you a written summary before we hang up. If it looks like we can help, we'll talk next steps.

2

Regular 1:1 coaching sessions

Sessions built around what's actually happening in your business, not a pre-packaged curriculum. Focus, clarity, and accountability at the cadence serious growth requires. Real work on real problems.

3

Quarterly deep-dive planning

Every quarter we zoom out, review what's changed, reset the priorities, and build your plan for the next 90 days. This is where the structural decisions get made. Then we execute them together.

No lock-in contracts. We work on rolling 30-day agreements. You stay because it's working, not because you're contractually obligated to. That's how we back ourselves.
Ready when you are

Stop being the bottleneck in your own business.

One conversation will show you the single biggest thing holding your growth back, and what to do about it.

Common questions

Things worth knowing
before you apply

I've tried a business coach before and didn't see results. Why would this be different?
Most coaches give you frameworks and leave the execution to you. Lighthause doesn't work that way. Fortnightly sessions, quarterly planning, and a coach who has actually scaled service businesses means you get focus, clarity, and accountability, all three, consistently. That combination is what was missing.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Service-based businesses doing $500K–$2M+ with a team in place. Trades, agencies, consultants, coaches, clinics, specialist firms. The common thread is a founder who has built real momentum but still feels like the bottleneck in their own business.
How do you help service businesses increase profit?
Most profit problems in service businesses aren't revenue problems, they're margin problems. We identify the exact leaks: rework, underpricing, scope creep, and poor job costing. Once those are fixed, the revenue you're already generating lands as actual profit.
How do you reduce owner dependency in a business?
Owner dependency is a structural problem, not a time management problem. We build the accountability framework, decision authority, and team operating rhythms that let your people move without routing everything back to you. You stop being the checkpoint, and the business starts running properly.
How quickly will I see results?
Most clients get immediate clarity in the first session, decisions they've been sitting on for months finally get resolved. The structural changes, like team ownership, pricing discipline and pipeline reliability, typically take 60 to 90 days to fully embed and show up in the numbers. The owners who move fastest are the ones who implement between sessions, not just attend them.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. Rolling 30-day agreements. You stay because it's working, not because you're locked in. That's deliberate. It means I have to keep delivering, every month.
Can we meet in person, or is it all online?
Most sessions are online, which means I work with clients across all of Australia. If you're based in Sydney or the Hunter Valley and want to meet occasionally in person, that can absolutely be arranged.
What do I need for the free strategy session?
Just your most recent revenue numbers and a rough sense of where your leads come from. That's enough for a live diagnostic. You'll leave with a written summary of your biggest constraint, whether or not you continue with us.
