Unlock the Potential In Your Business

1-2-1 Mentoring to help you build and lead a fast-growing, profitable business that can run (mostly) without you

If it feels like your business is bashing up against the ceiling, and you're frustrated you can't break through no matter what you do ...

... then you’re also probably experiencing one or more of the Big Three...

  • Lack of time Your time never feels like your own, and you feel permanently knackered. You’re missing a lot of the important stuff in the business as you just don’t have the time or headspace for anything else than running the day-to-day
  • Lack of accountability You get dragged into fire-fighting, solving issues, and dealing with customers because your people don’t seem to understand what’s needed or follow through to get things done. It’s a constant effort to push and drive things forward
  • Lack of freedom - You know your business will suffer without you being there, so you sacrifice your personal time (family events, sport, exercise) to keep things on track. And when you do take time off, you feel guilty spending time away from the business, and it's practially impossible to switch off.

The good news?

These are all signs of a successful business with great potential. Without a highly-skilled, driven, and motivated owner like you, most companies fall flat.  Fix the causes of these three problems and you'll have more control over your business with less effort, sales and profits will grow, and you'll have more time for yourself. 

The bad news?

The business is overly reliant on your for it's success, and you’ve reached your capacity to deal with the business efficiently and effectively. It happens to nearly every first-time business owner (and many second generation owners). If you don't fix these three problems, sales will flatline, your margins will shrink, and profits decline.

So, why does it happen? Why do businesses hit the ceiling?

I'm Richard McMullan. a Certified Value Builder™ and Business Mentor. I teach owners of manufacturing businesses how reduce their company's reliance on them, eliminate their business related frustrations and scale to the next level.

Why (most) businesses get stuck

From my 30+ years’ experience of mentoring, consulting, and scaling a business to £20m and hundreds of people, the reason most businesses get stuck is because they are overly reliant on the owner for their success. And the reason for this usually boils down to one of two things:

Lack of business education and training

You’re excellent at what you do. You use your technical skills and knowledge to build great products and deliver excellent service. You’re less excellent at business, because you never got formal training on all the different disciplines required to scale a business. So far, you’ve managed without it, but now you’re faced with issues you’re not equipped to handle.

Inexperience leading a team

You started off with a few employees, but your team is growing. You need to make the transition from being the person doing the work to being the person who leads the people who do the work.

So, how do you get unstuck?  How do you fill the gaps in your knowledge and make the transition to leading rather than doing?

That's where the Value Flywheel comes in ...

Introducing The Value Flywheel

The Value Flywheel is a simple and practical framework to unlock the potential in your business and reduce its reliance on you. I work with you to implement the system in your business and help you:

Scale your business 

The framework is proven to help businesses break through the ceiling to the next level.  We start by getting clarity on where you're going and how you'll get there, then build on this foundation to deliver five outcomes:

  • loyal customer base
  • sustainable growth
  • team of engaged employees
  • things get done more efficiently and effectively
  • the business generates more free cash.

Develop your leadership skills

The system provides a framework for improving your personal skills. You'll learn how to be a better leader, including skills such as how to delegate effectively, how to recruit great people, how to lead and manage to can build a high-performing team. 

Solve your most pressing issues

Being the leader can be lonely because their are some problems and decisions you can't share with your team. I'll provide an unbiased and independent sounding board to help you resolve those thorny big issues that keep you awake at night.

But why a flywheel?

I created the The Value Flywheel to help manufacturing entrepreneurs overcome the challenges of scaling their business and give them the life they want.

Why a flywheel? 

Mesopotamian potters first used the flywheel in 4000 BC. The principle is simple: you pedal a wheel to build momentum. It's slow to start, but the speed increases steadily. Once going, it takes little effort to maintain. 

One of the biggest challenges is not having enough time

When you are already maxed out then its daunting to take on signficant changes in how you run the business. Try to do much too quickly and you  fail to implement properly and the team gets change fatigue. Which is why, like using the potter's wheel, implementing the Value Flywheel is a steady and measured process. 

Momentum builds slowly, but surely

Your team become more accountable and follow through on their actions. You spend less time firefighting. You reduce the time you spend working on the day-to-day operations. You're able to focus on developing your strategy, driving growth and implementing all the ideas you have for improving the business. 

Once fully implemented, the Value Flywheel continues to deliver results but takes little effort from you to maintain. If you want, you can eventually reduce your time in the business until it only takes a few hours a week to keep on top of everything.

When you get a flywheel spinning it wants to keep spinning, and needs little effort to maintain, so your business will continue to grow without needing you in the day-to-day

What makes The Aurelius Value Flywheel different? 

The one thing that separates the Aurelius Value Flywheel from other similar-looking programmes is Tiny Increments

I’m sick of information that’s mostly recycled and padded fluff

I’ve spent way too many hours reading books that are impractical to implement. Listening to speakers that tell great stories but are short on how to make it happen. Or reading articles that have been written for large businesses or start-ups.   

So the Value Flywheel system follows a path of Tiny Increments

Instead of creating yet another mountain of information that goes nowhere, every topic is de-constructed into small steps that are easy to understand. It allows you to not just learn, but to retain and easily implement any of the strategies, tactics, and tools.  And it's written for ambitious owners who want help overcoming the challenges of scaling profitably from low millions to tens of millions in revenue, and who want to build businesses where people enjoy coming to work. 

Read on to find out how I will help you implement the system in your business... 

The Business Breakthrough Mentoring Programme

The programme transforms your business into one that's independent of you

The Business Breakthrough Mentoring Programme blends the Value Flyhweel and the Value Builder System and my my experience scaling businesses and supporting others do the same.  Together, we'll work through a structured approach that is proven to reduce your company's reliance on you, achieve faster growth and increase profits, all without sacrificing your health, family or lifestyle.  

It is an investment that starts paying off almost immediately

And it will continue to pay off for as long as you own a business. The programme includes monthly 1-2-1 mentoring sessions, WhatsApp support, easy-to-follow videos, done-for-you templates, quizzes and worksheets. All of the training is delivered online using our secure learning platforms. Everything you learn through the engagement will continue to apply into the future, and it's risk free for you...

500% Guarantee

If you qualify - and do the work - I offer you a guarantee ... 

... If, at the end of the first year of the engagement, your company value has not increased by at least five times my fee, I will work with you at no additional charge until that is true.

I've worked with 70+ clients and only once could I not deliver a result a client was happy with. (Ask me about the details sometime!). 

First, though, what results can you expect to get from the programme...

The results...

More time for yourself

For many owners, their business consumes a huge amount of their time, and they end up sacrificing their health, family, or lifestyle to protect their business. Perhaps the most valuable personal benefit of the programme is that it gives you back the one thing money can't buy - Time.

The day-to-day operations will be able to run (mostly) without you, giving you the freedom to choose how you spend your time. One owner has reduced his 70-hour workweeks to working 8 to 5 Monday to Friday. and only working two Saturday mornings in the last 5 years whilst his business has quadrupled to nearly £50m during that time. 

More enjoyment

You'll have the right people in the right seats. They'll be 100% on the same page with your vision and how you're going to get there. They'll know exactly what they need to do in their job to make that happen, and you’ll see a culture of accountability develop throughout the business.

Your business will become excellent at execution without you needing to constantly follow up to check things are done. And you'll spend less time firefighting and worrying about what's going on because issues will get fixed before they fester and become problems. 

Faster growth

Two things limit a company’s growth. The first is when the owner is the Rainmaker, and they’re generating most of the sales. The second is when the company hast too many products and variations. Counter-intuitively, faster growth will come by focusing you, the owner, on the sales strategy and by narrowing your product range and your target market.

You’ll achieve faster, more sustainable growth through a sales team following a proven, teachable, and scalable sales process. That, together with introducing recurring revenue, ensures that every month starts with you already well on your way to your sales target.

More money

Higher sales don’t always convert into more cash in the bank. Sometimes growing too fast can bankrupt you. You’ll prevent that by understanding your profit and cash levers and use that information to drive profitability and reduce your operating cash cycle. And your value proposition will be so clear and targeted to your niches you’ll be able to charge premium prices and achieve higher margins.

Ultimately, implementing the Value Flywheel will increase your profits, allow you to grow as fast as you want, and put more cash in the bank. Many of my clients have more than doubled their profits within two years. 

More valuable and easy-to-transition business

You may be intending to hand your business to the next generation or sell it in the future. Sadly, many owners don’t get to choose when they exit. Any one of the dreaded Ds (Death, Divorce, Disease, Disaster, Disability, Disagreement) can force an exit.

But you can sleep well at night, safe in the knowledge you won’t lose out should one of the Ds strike because you’ll have significantly increased your business’s value and made it easy-to-transition to the next leader,

I'm now focusing on the strategy 

I was trying to do everything causing me to miss a lot of the important stuff in the business as I just didn’t have the time or headspace for anything else than running the day to day. 

Thanks to Richard I am now focusing more on business strategy and more on the numbers rather than the day to day running of my business as this is now left to the management team.

We understand the steps to get to our goal

We'd grown to a certain size but getting to the next level seemed elusive. We were doing much of the right things and serving customers well, but the growth was not there.

We now have a clear structure in place to define roles of staff members, our main success criteria and a roadmap for the company to work towards to achieve our goals.

I'm Richard McMullan. a Certified Value Builder™ and Business Mentor. 

I'll help you regain control of your business, kick-start growth and achieve greater profits

Why work with me?

I’m been intrigued by how businesses work since studying management science in the final year of my Master’s degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering in 1989. 

Since then I've been around the business block

My career only makes sense in the rear-view mirror (if you squint and close one eye), but it's always been about businss stratetgy and growth. I’ve been an IT strategist, a business strategy consultant to small, mid, and large businesses, Head of Marketing & Strategy for a £170m profit business, scaled a £1m business to £20m (and survived the 2008 crash)


I’ve experienced the good, bad, and ugly 

I've seen the lot from working for a wide variety of leaders and being the leader myself. I've seen what works well, and what doesn’t. I’ve acquired businesses (and failed twice because of the owner's over-estimation of what their business was worth). I've made my fair share of mistakes, and had success too.

Like you, I'm a business owner

Besides this advisory business, I own three manufacturing direct-to-consumer companies in the animal supplement space: Nibble&Gnaw, EquiNutritive and The Wagateur.  I apply everything I teach in this programme to my own businesess. So this isn't some theortical nonsense - it's battle-tested

I get a buzz from seeing my clients succeed

Over the last five years I've chaired peer advisory boards. I've sat on the boards of various businesses (as Chair, as non-executive director and as Honorary Treasure) I've advised and mentored 70+ business owners on how to get the most from their business.  I love sharing what I’ve learnt and helping other leaders avoid the mistakes I've made, and I get a huge buzz from seeing my clients succeed.  I hope we get to work together.

Book your Discovery Call Now

The only way you'll discover if this right for you is to book a Discovery Dall and have a chat with me about the programme.

Working with Richard has genuinely been one of the best things we’ve ever done – it has had an amazing impact on our focus and performance

I had been struggling for a while to translate my vision for the business into reality; to get everyday life in the business connected to delivery of our mission, vision and values. I knew where I wanted to go, but just wasn’t getting the traction I wanted. The business felt stuck and I was very frustrated that I couldn’t get things moving as well as I wanted.

Richard was recommended to me ...

by another business owner, whom he'd already helped overcome similar problems in his business.

Richard took us back to first principles to re-affirm our mission, vision and values, and to get us clear on what we wanted to achieve, and our strategy for how we were going to deliver that.

Once we had that clarity, we worked with Richard to develop our plan to implement the strategy, and put in place a revised organisational structure, and a new performance management approach to ensure we delivered what we said we would.

We now have complete clarity

We now have complete clarity on what we want to achieve, and how we will deliver that. Our strategic intent is to keep ahead of the competition through product innovation, and we have a drumbeat in the business that keeps us focused on annual delivery of new market-leading products. All of which are delivering our vision of making a massive difference to the quality of life of children with special needs.

and have strengthened our top team

One outcome of the process has been that we have strengthened our top team to ensure we have the right people in place to deliver our strategy.

And the strategy implementation process we are following (and I recommend people don’t deviate from this) has had a significant improvement on how we function as a team. Our team communicates well, we solve issues together effectively and efficiently, and our performance is improving in all areas of the business.

Would I recommend Richard?

Richard is brilliant at helping people define and implement their strategy. If you want help in making your business vision a reality, take your business to the next level, or simply get ‘unstuck’, then I highly recommend you engage Richard to guide you through that journey.

Working with Richard to make these changes in our business has genuinely been one of the best things we’ve ever done – it has had an amazing impact on our focus and performance

JAMES LECKEY // Managing Director & Owner

There’s now a marked difference on people’s focus on delivering, and the results...we’re getting better numbers too!

I had a fairly new management team, we were reasonably inexperienced in the roles, and not as productive as I wanted us to be.

The company had grown, but the management approach had stayed the same. We weren’t focused on where we were going, there was ambiguity over who was responsible for what and who was accountable. I roughly knew the direction but wanted us to have a definitive version. We also had some new senior recruits joining and I wanted to get them involved in setting the direction.

My big concern was about not everyone buying into what I wanted to do

I was concerned that I’d tried stuff before, and never made it really stick the way I wanted. So I needed to make sure that whatever I did, it wouldn’t fizzle out but would stick.

I also wanted someone who’d been in a similar position to me, who’d experienced a similar journey, and experienced what I wanted to do and had done it. Someone who’d a system for growing the business and had implemented it themselves.

Personality was also really important – I needed someone to click with, and who got me and what I was facing.

The work on attitudes and behaviours really helped

It’s so powerful for recurring, retaining and coaching people. And it’s given us a process and the confidence to deal with people whose behaviours aren’t what we wanted. We’re now able to deal with the people who deliver but don’t behave the way we expect and want for our company.

We’ve exited people because of this, and I realised that we had to do that if I wanted to build a great team and maintain morale. You have to remove the organisational terrorists who suck the happiness from people. You can’t be walking around on eggshells. It takes too much emotional energy.

Previously our meetings weren’t working

Probably the biggest benefit is the structured weekly meeting with the team. Previously, our meetings weren’t working, we’d no timelines, lots of talk, no action, people were frustrated, there were no guidelines.

Now everything is tied together, we know how this week leads to the quarterly promises, to the one-year milestone to the three-year ambition to the five-year courageous vision.

We’re getting better outcomes across the business

The quarterly promise setting process really gets us focused on where we are going. It also allows me to hear what the team think and get their buy-in, but I still influence the process and ultimately make the decision. It’s given me confidence in my decision making and to structure things. There’s much better clarity on responsibility and accountability.

There’s now a marked difference on people’s focus on delivering, and the results we’re getting. I still need to work on building individual accountability but I’m getting there.

We’re getting better numbers too – sales for the first nine months of this year are already ahead of last year’s total!

Would I recommend Richard?

Yes.

I’ve a real passion for what I’ve been through and how it’s helped me. It’s a very powerful tool to run a business by. It’s working for me and the business.

Personally, you helped me understand what was needed and how to make the changes necessary in the business to get the growth we want. I know the whole team feel the same way, and everyone got lots from working with you.

COLM GRIMES // Managing Director 

If you want to really create something, these conversations are essential

Before working with Richard we had no clear vision for the company. We'd been trading for 12 years and we had an idea of where we wanted to go but no clear vision and definitely no idea of how to get there.

Our main concern about bringing in external help was price and possibly a bit of embarrassment

We were running this business for 12 years and it is embarrassing to admit that we didn't really know what direction we were driving in. That was difficult. Consultancy fees are also often automatically labelled as waste before the consultant as ever done anything!

We got a lot of clarity ...

Over the course of a few sessions we defined the company vision, ten-year goal and the strategy for how we are going to get there. The key thing was that while we started with looking at the long-term vision for the company this was eventually broken right down to a 1 year and first quarter plan which brought the vision to life. Vital!

total honesty ...

At times there was way too much of it! It's tough to hear that your ideas are often not the best fit for the company, unlikely to pay dividends or just downright awful! On reflection though, it's much better to hear that at the planning stage than finding out multiple years and cash investment into a project.

and an impartial perspective

I think this is the key to creating a successful strategy: having someone independent of the business but with a good understanding and plenty of experience to offer an objective view on the strategy and even more importantly to force us to look at the strategy from different perspectives ourselves and really shake down major concerns.

Richard brought outside perspective but with excellent business knowledge, and experience of running companies big & small that is very applicable. And he gave us clarity over where a discussion should be going. This can be very difficult when trying to take a wide-angle lens and then dig down to the details of potential issues

Would I recommend Richard?

Yes.  

You get high quality questions that force more thoughtful analysis, ensuring that you start and finish with the goal in mind and brutal honesty when it can't be found within. You need to want to take your business somewhere special. If you want to tick along these conversations will be too tough.

If you want to really create something, these conversations are essential, and you’ll get the return on your investment.  Honesty is cheap in the long run; compliments can be expensive
