Two Icons Consulting - Leadership Architecture for Founders
FOR FOUNDERS OF 10–100 EMPLOYEE BUSINESSES

You Built Something Real.
Now It Can't Run Without You.

OVERSIGHT is the leadership architecture that lets your business thrive without you being the glue that holds everything together.

Sound Familiar?

We're growing, but I'm always chasing payments.

I haven't taken a real day off in eighteen months.

My team keeps waiting for me to make every decision.

My kids barely know me. I built this for freedom.

These are real words from real founders. Twenty years of the same conversation. If you recognise yourself in any of them, you're not alone, and this isn't a motivation problem. It's an architecture problem.

I Lived This Before I Built the Solution

Built Icon over 20 years into the largest agency in Southwest Sydney. On paper, a success story. Revenue strong, clients happy, team growing.

But underneath: cash flow stress, decision bottleneck, family strain. Then COVID hit and exposed everything. Culture held together by proximity collapsed overnight. Values on a poster. Systems in my head.

By 2023, sold Icon to an international agency. Not because it was failing. Because I was.

Built OVERSIGHT from that experience. Now helps other founders build the architecture he wished he'd had.

Every Business Tells Two Stories

The Financial Story

  • Revenue growing
  • Team capable
  • Clients happy
  • Margins reasonable
  • Looks sellable

The Human Story

  • Founder working 55+ hours
  • Every decision through one person
  • Clients only want the founder
  • Hourly rate below minimum wage
  • Nothing to sell without them

The Five Drifts: Where Founder Dependency Hides

01

The Fog

Clarity Drift

When direction lives in the founder's head, every decision defaults back to you.

02

The Shift

Alignment Drift

When culture fractures under growth, values become words on a poster.

03

The Gap

Accountability Drift

When ownership has no structure, things fall through cracks and you catch everything.

04

The Drain

Renewal Drift

When your tank is empty, strategic thinking becomes impossible.

05

The Weight

Zero Principle

When the business can't exist without you, it's unsellable and you're trapped.
