Great business. Quietly cooked?

Evidence-Based Performance Coaching

You built the business for the lifestyle, and the business ate it.

The team won't move till you say so, the week is gone before you touch the work that matters, and it's been months since anything made you feel alive.

Impacter is evidence-based performance and executive coaching for business owners in Southeast Queensland. The business keeps growing. You get back a quiet head, a focused day, and energy to spare.

Free. 3 minutes. Shows you where your week leaks.

Who this is for

You're home but you're not there. Your body is at the dinner table but your head is still solving problems from 3pm.

You're shorter with the kids than you want to be. You haven't trained properly in months.

You wouldn't call it burnout. You'd probably just say you've got a lot on. That's exactly the problem.

You keep saying “once this phase is done.” It's not done. It won't be.

How it works

Switched On

You tell yourself you just need to switch off. I don't think that's the problem. You're not switched on too much, you're stuck on, and there's a big difference between the two. Being switched on means you own the switch. Over 12 weeks we build it into your real week, and we measure everything at the start and again at the end, so you can see the change in real numbers, not just feel it.

01

The day runs you

Your phone gets the first hour, and whoever shouts loudest gets the rest.

Clear Day

One full day back, every week.

02

You’re the system

Every quote, every decision and every “quick question” still comes through you.

Smart Systems

The business runs on systems, not on you.

03

Your head won’t stop

At 2am your head is back at work, running a board meeting nobody asked for.

Calm Mind

The business leaves your head by dinner.

Built to stick: you stop knowing and start doing.

The Extra Workday Scorecard

How many hours a week are you handing back for free?

You're losing 7 to 10 hours a week to low-value meetings, busywork, and the phone. That's a full workday, gone. The scorecard shows you exactly where it goes, and what to fix first.

Takes 3 minutes. Free. Instant results.

7-10

Hours lost / week

Low-value meetings, tasks, and screen time, before you ever touch the work that moves the business.

Next Step

Another year of this, or a day a week back?

You've been cooked long enough to call it normal. Working harder won't fix that. Changing how the work gets done will. The free 3-minute scorecard shows you where to start.
