The Scaling Blueprint is LBD Startup Bodyshop's flagship business growth system. It's a diagnostic and intervention framework designed to help entrepreneurs identify and eliminate the single biggest constraint holding back their business growth. It focuses on clarity, control, and capacity — giving founders the structure and tools to scale sustainably and profitably. We use the 5 Levers Framework to diagnose your business, then give you a tactical roadmap to fix your bottleneck.
Step 1: Attend the 2-day workshop. Learn the 5 Levers Framework, identify your constraint, and build your 90-day plan. Step 2: Choose your path: DIY: Execute the plan yourself Done-With-You: Get expert coaching for 90 days). Includes deep audit, 6 coaching calls, and daily WhatsApp support. Step 3: Eliminate your constraint in 90 days. See measurable results (average 30-50% revenue increase).
Clarity: Know exactly what's holding you back—no more guessing. Focus: Stop wasting time on problems that don't matter. Attack the ONE constraint choking your growth. Results: Average 30-50% revenue increase in 90 - 180 days. 80% of Done-With-You participants execute fully (vs 5% DIY success rate). System: Learn a repeatable method you can use endlessly. After fixing one constraint, you can tackle the next.
Most programs give generic advice. "Do more marketing." "Improve your operations." "Work on your mindset." We use the Theory of Constraints to identify your specific bottleneck, then give you a constraint-specific solution. The Difference? We diagnose before prescribing (most programs guess) We focus on ONE constraint at a time (most programs overwhelm you) We track results (30-50% average increase, not vague promises) We guarantee it (If you do the work and see zero results, we work with you until you get the results at no additional costs)
