The Buyer-Ready Leadership Team
Build the team a buyer pays top-dollar for. For owners of 25 to 120-person companies. Find out which jobs still carry your name, then hand each one to someone who will own it, so buyers don't discount your life's work by 30-50%.
If any of these sound familiar, keep reading.
- You go away for a week and the phone does not stop. Not emergencies. Approvals.
- Your ops manager brings you the same problem for the third month running, with a better explanation each time.
- Somebody asked you about selling, or a valuation came back lower than the number in your head, and you have not been able to put your finger on why.
- You know what everybody is meant to do. You cannot say who answers for it.
That is not a management problem. It is a count problem, and nobody has ever given you the number.
Most owners are sitting on seven of eleven
There are about eleven jobs that have to get done in any company of twenty to a hundred and fifty people: direction, demand, what you sell next, winning work, delivery, cash, the books, systems, hiring, growing people, keeping clients. If you own a business, run a site, or run a product group, that is your own twelfth job on top.
In most companies, the owner is still the name against seven of them. Officially, or in practice, which is the part that costs money. It shows up as a lower valuation, a team that waits, and every decision taking a week.
The count is the whole point. Yours is probably seven. It could be five. Nobody has ever told you.
What changes when the jobs leave your desk
- Your managers stop bringing you decisions that are theirs to make.
- The problem that keeps coming back finally has one person who answers for it.
- You take a week off, and the company keeps moving while you're away.
- When someone approaches you about selling, you will get a top-dollar offer because you are no longer needed in every room.
How it works
- See where you stand. You write down who really owns each part of the business today. Most owners find their own name in far more places than they expected.
- Decide who owns what. One person for each job. Where nobody is ready yet, you set a date and a plan.
- Hand it over. You run the same session with your leadership team, with a script for the conversation. You come out with everyone agreeing who answers for what.
A coach, not a template
A blank chart is easy to fill in and easy to get wrong. The hard part is being honest, and that's where most owners go easy on themselves.
The coach built into this course is there to stop that. When you type "we all do that", it asks who, by name. It won't let you round your number down, and it never tells you who to pick. Those decisions stay yours.
This is the conversation owners usually pay a facilitator to run. Here you can have it whenever you have an hour.

What this is
This is a course you can talk to.
The lessons are here, and you can read them like any course. But the AI has read all of them too. When something doesn't click, ask. When you're not sure how it applies to you, ask. It answers from Marian's material, not from the internet. It's like hiring Marian as a coach, without paying thousands of dollars for it.

About marianwulz
marianwulz
The more your company needs you, the less it's worth. I help owners of $3–20M businesses build the leadership team and the operating system a buyer pays top-dollar for. I draw from my time advising family-owned businesses at Porsche Consulting, my experience helping scale Europe's #1 pet food e-retailer to €2B+, and the 30+ companies I've worked with across different industries. I've also served as COO of an 8-figure scale-up with P&L responsibility across 4 countries and a team of 50+. This isn't theory. It's what I've built from the inside. If you want to build a company that runs without you, so you can sell it for top-dollar - or keep it in the family - this course is for you.
Questions
Who is this for?
An owner of a business with twenty to a hundred and fifty people who is still the answer to most questions. Usually ten years in or more. It works in professional services, trades and manufacturing, agencies, and any business where the owner is still in the middle of the work.
How long does it take?
You can complete the 7 modules in three or four sittings easily. The half-day with your team is four hours plus a ninety-minute follow-up. The map is then reviewed quarterly, which is the part that keeps it true.
How is this different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT will help you fill in a table and then agree with you. It cannot hold a rule. Ask it about a seat where you and your co-founder both take the calls and it will pick one and move on. This course's AI asks who gets the phone call at ten at night, logs the answer, and will not take "we all do" as an answer at all.
What if it turns out I am the owner of nine jobs?
Then you have just found the most valuable number in your business, and module six turns it into a plan. The target is one senior outside hire every six to nine months, which means this is a twelve to eighteen month job rather than a weekend.
Do I share it with my team, or is it just for me?
Both, in that order. You run it alone first, which is where the honest count comes from. Then you run the half-day with your leadership team using the plan in the resources.
What if my company is smaller than eighty people?
It works at smaller sizes, but the honest count is usually lower and the fixes are simpler. If you have fewer than ten people, most rows are genuinely you, and this will confirm that with less drama than you would expect.
What happens after I buy?
It opens in your free Eden account right away, on web and phone. You keep it. When Marian updates the lessons, your copy updates too.
How does this work?
You get the lessons and an AI that has read every one of them. Read in order, or ask it where to start. Whenever something doesn't click, ask. It answers from Marian's material, for your situation.
Refunds
If you have completed the lessons, ran the first pass and the map still adds nothing to how you see your business, email within thirty days and it is refunded.
