“I’m tired of being the bottleneck...”

A few weeks ago, I was on a call with a founder running a 7-figure agency.

Halfway through our chat, he sighed and said something that stuck with me:

“I’m tired of being the bottleneck.”

He explained how every team decision somehow circled back to him.

Every question.
Every approval.
Every process.

He felt like his team was smart… but still acted like they didn’t know what to do unless he told them.

Here’s what I told him:

That’s not a team problem.
That’s a systems problem.

You can have the best team in the world, but without a company brain—a centralized place to store your SOPs, decisions, resources, and workflows—they’ll always rely on you.

You’ll be the source of truth.

And you’ll burn out from being the source of everything.

That’s when we mapped out a Second Brain for his company in Notion.

We built a workspace where every:

• SOP

• Meeting note

• Client process

• Hiring doc

• Recurring task

• Team project

…was documented and organized.

His team started moving without pinging him for direction. New hires got up to speed without endless Looms and calls. And he finally got to focus on strategic work—because the operational questions weren’t hitting his inbox anymore.

A Second Brain is not a luxury for growing companies.
It’s the only way to scale without chaos.

Without it:

• Decision fatigue eats your time.

• Autonomy vanishes.

• You become the walking FAQ for your company.

With it?

You create a system that thinks for your business.
One that trains, guides, and enables your team to move fast—without depending on you.

Sounds like something you need for your business?

Reply “Company Brain” and I’ll send you all the details

We’ll:

• Map your workflows

• Turn chaos into SOPs

• Set your team up to move without asking

• Create a single source of truth for everything that matters

Because when your company has a Second Brain…
You get your first brain back.

No fluff. Just systems.
