Founder doing most tasks
This happens when a business owner is trapped working 'in' the business (answering emails, fulfilling orders) instead of 'on' it. It creates a bottleneck where revenue is capped by how many hours the founder can stay awake.
Almost every small business suffers from this. It is easy to start solving this by creating simple checklists, but offers massive potential for high-ticket consulting as you get better at systems.

Market Motivation
The psychology of the buyer
Because they are exhausted and their business cannot grow.
If the founder is the only one who knows how to do the work, the business is fragile—if they get sick, revenue stops. They pay to remove themselves as the bottleneck so they can scale up and get their life back.
Three Ways to Monetize
Proven entry points for this market.
The Delegation Matrix
A decision-making worksheet to help founders strictly categorize tasks into 'Delete', 'Automate', or 'Delegate'.
Provides immediate clarity and emotional relief for overwhelmed owners.
SOP Starter Toolkit
A library of pre-written Standard Operating Procedure templates for common tasks (hiring, invoicing, support) that they can just hand to an assistant.
Saves them dozens of hours of writing manuals from scratch.
Operations Extraction Service
Interview the founder, record them doing a task, and turn that recording into a step-by-step written manual for their team.
High-value 'Done-For-You' service that literally buys them their time back.
Execution Plan
Sell a 'Process Extraction' session
Start by selling the $27 'Delegation Matrix' to help them identify what they hate doing. Then, offer a service where you hop on a Zoom call, watch them do that specific task, and write the procedure document for them so they never have to do it again.
