If you could rewind to the early stages of your business…

what would you structure differently?

Most founders only recognise the real constraint once growth begins to slow.

Not because something went wrong.

But because something formed - quietly - while everything was working.

A pattern where progress depends on them.

By the time it’s visible, it’s already built in.

That’s the founder bottleneck.

I’ve put together a short insight on how to see it earlier - and avoid building into it from the start:

This Business Manchester feature feels lovely to share.

It talks about the work I do helping entrepreneurs transform ideas into tangible online businesses, which is such a big part of what I love.

Because so many people are carrying ideas that matter.

They might have years of experience, wisdom, teaching, mentoring, or a real heart to help people. They can feel there is something there. Something useful. Something meaningful. Something that could become a programme, membership, course, community, service, launch, or new venture.

But knowing something matters and knowing how to build it are two very different things.

That is where the overwhelm can creep in.

What is the offer? Who is it for? What needs to come first? How do you make it clear? What do you build? What can wait? How do you turn the idea into something real?

That is where I love to come alongside founders.

Not just to give advice from a distance, and not just to do random tasks, but to help take hold of the vision, see the next steps, and bring structure around it.

Because some ideas are too important to stay in someone’s head.

They need a way into the world.

There’s a stage in most businesses where nothing is obviously wrong…

…but everything still depends on you.

Decisions flow through you.
Progress slows when you step away.
You’re still holding more than you should be.

From the outside, it looks like momentum.

From the inside, it starts to feel like weight.

This is what I call the founder bottleneck - and it often forms long before it’s recognised.

I’ve put together a short insight on how to see it earlier (and build differently while it still matters):

This is another lovely feature to share.

Z News Service wrote about my work helping experts and coaches build thriving online businesses.

And that really is such a big part of what I love doing.

Because so many people are carrying something valuable already.

Years of knowledge. Experience. A way of helping people. A message. A method. A mentoring gift. A perspective that has been shaped over time.

But turning that into something clear and structured can feel overwhelming.

Should it become a course? A programme? A membership? A workshop? A community? A new service? A launch?

And how do you actually make it simple enough for people to understand, but strong enough to really help them?

That is where I love coming alongside founders.

Not just to give advice from the outside, and not just to do random tasks, but to help take hold of the vision, see what matters next, and bring the right structure around it.

I really believe more experts, coaches, educators and mentors are carrying work that could help people deeply.

Sometimes the next step is not inventing something new.

It is shaping what is already there and finally bringing it to life.

Marketing is not one-size-fits-all. When it comes to generating leads and converting clients, the Challenge Framework and Webinar Marketing are two powerhouse strategies- but which one fits your business best? Each has its strengths: challenges drive high engagement, while webinars offer in-depth value in one sitting.

In my blog, https://www.mitsgriffin.com/challenge-vs-webinar/ I break down the pros and cons of each strategy, helping you decide which approach will deliver the biggest results for your business. 🛠️

Some of the most worthwhile work begins with helping people feel better understood, better supported and more able to thrive.

That is why I am pleased to share the free Preschool Autism Summit, hosted by my friend Tara, and running next week from 13–16 July.

The summit brings together autistic educators and other experienced professionals to share practical guidance on communication, play, sensory needs, regulation, AAC, inclusion and supporting autistic children with greater understanding.

It is particularly relevant for parents, carers, teachers, early-years educators, homeschoolers, therapists and anyone whose work brings them alongside autistic children and their families.

As someone whose business often sits at the intersection of education, communication, strategy and meaningful change, I know how important it is for valuable knowledge to reach the people who can put it into practice.

The summit is completely free to attend.

🎟️ Reserve your place here:

Please share this with someone who may benefit. The right insight, at the right moment, can change how a child is understood and supported.

Intrapreneurs don’t need to be at the top to lead.

They thrive within the team, driving innovation and leading by example.

Intrapreneurs lead from within, guiding innovation and change.

Most founders don’t need more advice. They need someone who can help make the idea real. That is why the word 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘂𝗿 means so much to me.

When I won Best Brand Innovation for *Mits Griffin - The Intrapreneur, it felt like people were recognising a way of working that I think many founders deeply need, but may not know exists yet.

Because when you have a big idea, especially one that feels meaningful, it can be hard to know what to do with it.

You might be brilliant at what you do. You might care deeply about the people you want to help. You might have years of experience, wisdom, knowledge or passion behind you.

But then suddenly you’re faced with all the other bits…

The offer.

The messaging.

The launch plan.

The website.

The funnel.

The content.

The systems.

The technology.

The next steps.

And it can feel like a lot.

An intrapreneur comes alongside the founder in that space. Not as a traditional consultant. Not as an agency. Not as an employee. Not just as someone doing tasks.

But as a strategic partner who can take hold of the vision, see what matters next, and help bring it into the real world.

That is the work I love.

Helping founders move from “I have this idea…” to “I can finally see how this could work.”

And I really believe this kind of support is going to become more important as visionary founders build meaningful businesses with smaller, smarter, more trusted teams.

After building a Custom GPT, here is what I see more clearly. The real shift is not from bad prompts to better prompts. It is from using AI occasionally… to designing support around the way a business actually thinks. And that is a very different thing.

At the start of this week, I shared the idea that there are different stages of using AI.

Most people begin at Stage 1.

You open ChatGPT or Claude.
You ask a question.
You get an answer.
You improve the prompt.
You try again.

That is useful.

But Custom GPTs move us into something more intentional.

They ask us to define:

What is this for?
Who is it helping?
What should it know?
How should it behave?
What standards matter?
What should it avoid?
What does useful actually look like?

Those are not just AI questions.

They are business-building questions.

And that is what I have found so interesting about the process.

A Custom GPT is not impressive because it is complicated.

It is useful because it forces clarity.

It makes you look at your knowledge, your standards, your process, your tone, your audience, your repeated decisions and your ways of working…

and ask how they could become easier to access and apply.

For experts, educators, consultants and founders, I think this matters enormously.

Because so much of the value in these businesses is not sitting neatly in one place.

It is spread across conversations, documents, notes, frameworks, workshops, courses, experience and instinct.

AI does not magically fix that.

But used thoughtfully, it can help organise it.

That is where I think the opportunity really is.

Not chasing every new tool.

Not handing everything over to AI.

Not trying to replace the human judgement that makes the work valuable.

But building smarter support around the vision.

This week was about Custom GPTs.

But the bigger conversation is this:

How do we build businesses where knowledge is easier to use, standards are easier to protect, and founders do not have to carry every piece of thinking alone?

That is where AI becomes genuinely interesting to me.
