Peter Boolkah - The Transition Guy Author of YOUR BUSINESS SUCKS | Helping founders escape The Hamster Wheel Trap®

Starting a business is one of the most exciting things we get to do and we all have aspirations of achieving great things. In fact I have yet to meet someone who started a business with the intention of failing. As businesses grow some parts of the journey will be easier than others and most Entrepreneurs do not have all the answers. My passion in life is to work with talented Entrepreneurs who ar

e in the process of creating exciting and extraordinary businesses. It is important to remember that businesses do not just grow and develop on their own, it is up to us and our teams to make this happen by making every day purposeful. The way I work is to help you navigate and transition through the crucial growth pains that all growing businesses experience making it as painless and exciting as possible. My hope is to inspire and empower over 100,000 Entrepreneurs to create long term thriving businesses resulting in the creation of 1,000,000 jobs. So if you are scaling up your business and want to know more then let's have a chat.

🏆 Three number-one spots on Amazon, and the book isn't even out yet. People keep asking me why a title this blunt is striking such a nerve. Here's my honest answer, drawn from more than 50,000 hours in the room with business owners.

Most founders never actually build a business. They build themselves a job. A demanding, expensive, all-consuming job, with no boss to hand it back to and nobody to cover the shift. Good revenue, a decent team, a company others admire from the outside, and underneath it all, an exhaustion they can't say out loud.

So when those same owners spot a book called Your Business Sucks, something in them exhales. Finally, someone is telling the truth about what they've actually built, and pointing at the fact that it could be so much better.

That's why it's selling before it ships, and it's exactly who I wrote it for. If you want your copy, check the first comment below. 👇

You’re not the CEO.

You’re the bottleneck.

Most business owners don’t realise they’ve become the biggest constraint in their business.

Every decision goes through them.

Every approval waits for them.

Every problem lands on their desk.

The business slows down because the owner can’t speed up.

I’ve seen this in businesses doing £500,000 and businesses doing £50 million.

The size changes.

The problem doesn’t.

The moment everything requires your involvement…

Growth becomes impossible.

Have you become the bottleneck in your own business?

What if success isn’t what you think it is?

Maybe success isn’t:

More turnover.

More staff.

More offices.

More complexity.

Maybe success is:

Taking a holiday without checking emails.

Sleeping through the night.

Knowing your team can handle problems.

Having choices.

Having freedom.

Having a business that works.

That’s what Your Business Sucks is really about.

Why I called the book “Your Business Sucks.”

Not because your business is bad.

Not because you’re failing.

Not because you’re not successful.

Because many successful businesses quietly destroy the people who built them.

The title is designed to make people stop.

The subtitle tells the real story:

Build a Business That Works Without Destroying Your Life.

That’s the mission.

The question that terrifies most business owners.

Could your team run the business for 30 days without you?

No calls.

No emails.

No WhatsApps.

No Teams messages.

Nothing.

Most owners answer:

“No chance.”

And then immediately tell me their business is an asset.

An asset shouldn’t require its owner to be present every day.

That’s a job.

Confession.

For years I wore busy like a badge of honour.

Back-to-back meetings.

Constant phone calls.

Hundreds of emails.

Always “on.”

I thought it meant I was successful.

Now I know it meant something very different.

It meant I hadn’t built a business capable of functioning without me.

Busy isn’t a success metric.

Freedom is.

The lie business owners tell themselves.

“My business needs me.”

No.

You trained it to need you.

You answer every question.

Approve every decision.

Solve every problem.

Rescue every crisis.

Then wonder why nobody takes ownership.

Businesses behave exactly how leaders train them to behave.

Harsh?

Maybe.

True?

Absolutely.

It’s one of the toughest lessons in my new book.

Nobody tells you this when you start a business.

The bigger your business gets…

The easier it becomes to lose your life.

You work longer.

You worry more.

You earn more.

But somehow feel less free.

I’ve coached business owners doing £500k.

I’ve coached business owners doing £50 million.

The problem is often the same.

The business still depends on them.

Revenue is not freedom.

Systems create freedom.

Leadership creates freedom.

Ownership creates freedom.

Dependency creates stress.

The question is:

Have you built a business…

Or just a bigger job?

The day I realised my business owned me.

Twenty two years ago I started my first business because I wanted freedom.

Freedom of time.
Freedom of money.
Freedom of choice.

Instead I built something that depended on me for everything.

Every decision.

Every customer issue.

Every problem.

Every fire.

The business couldn’t function without me.

And then one day I realised something uncomfortable:

I hadn’t built a business.

I’d built a prison.

That’s where the idea for The Hamster Wheel Trap® was born.

And it’s the reason I wrote:

YOUR BUSINESS SUCKS
Build a Business That Works Without Destroying Your Life.

Question:

How many days could your business survive if you disappeared tomorrow?
