Seven questions.
One business battle plan.
Sixteen years in the British Army taught Nick how to plan under pressure: the Combat Estimate, seven questions, asked in order. This is the business version. Answer it honestly and you get a clear twelve-month plan for building the business and buying back your time.

01 · The method
The Combat Estimate is how the British Army turns a mess into a mission: seven questions, in order, no step skipped. Nick planned with it for 16 years as an officer.
02 · The adaptation
He has spent a decade running his own companies and adapted the same seven questions for owner-led businesses. They force the clarity most planning sessions dance around.
03 · The output
A practical twelve-month battle plan: the constraint, the mission, the first 90 days, what to stop doing and what to hand off. On screen in minutes, printable, and a starting point rather than legal, financial or investment advice.

Plan in hand. What next?
A plan only works if someone holds you to it. Pick the route that fits: an hour with Nick on the real constraint, or a seat on the list for the next practical workshop.
Workshops are practical upskilling days, announced to the waiting list before anyone else. Free to join.
You are on the list. Dates land with you first.
