The problem

You built it,and now it owns you.

The symptomWhat it looks like
Everything waits for youYour team is good. They still queue outside your calendar for calls they are perfectly capable of making, because you are the only written record of how this is supposed to work.
The second seat is emptySomeone has to turn what you see into dates, owners and a number. If nobody holds that seat, you are sitting in it, on top of the one you are supposed to be in.
Growth copied the messYou did not fix how work moves before you doubled the team. So now it is broken twice, and it costs more to unpick than it did last year.

Questions

Before you register

Is it really free?

Yes. It exists so founders can watch how we think before anybody talks about money.

Who is it for?

Founders past the startup stage who are still running the detail themselves and know it is costing them.

Do I have to speak?

No. Plenty of people join, work quietly, and never unmute.

Where does it run?

On Skool. Registering puts you in the group and on the list for the next session.

What if I miss one?

Come to the next one. You register once and stay on the list until you tell us otherwise.

The CEO Guide cover

Which seat are you actually in?

Most owners hold three jobs and call it one title.

The CEO Guide names the five seats in a growing company, shows why one person cannot fill them all, and helps you decide, in writing, where you sit.

Kati Peterman, founder of Visionary Problems
Who runs it

Built by an operator.

Kati Peterman has spent her career inside growing companies rather than advising them from outside. Chief of staff first, then operator, then scaling multiple seven and eight figure businesses.

She has held the integrator seat herself. That is why she can tell within about ten minutes whether a founder needs one, or needs to stop undermining the one they already hired.

Visionary Problems started because the same founder kept showing up. Brilliant, in demand, and quietly drowning in work that should never have reached their desk.

Kati PetermanFounder, Visionary Problems
How she works

Four moves. In order.

Taking jobs off your desk before the vision is written down just moves the problem to somebody else's desk.

AlignMission, strategy and numbers saying the same thing. Until the vision exists somewhere other than your head, nobody can take it off you.
EmpowerFind the integrator, scope the seat properly, and build the rhythm that lets them actually run it.
ScaleStructure, ownership and reporting, so capacity goes up without the chaos going up with it.
LeadYou go back to the seat only you can hold. Direction, judgement, relationships, and whatever nobody else has spotted yet.
