You don’t need to be working longer & harder. Actually, quite the opposite. The problem is simple, and so is the solution.
Adrienne Dorison – Run Like Clockwork Lite
If you’re an entrepreneur who’s feeling like YOU’RE the bottleneck to more growth, more freedom + more impact, this is your chance to finally say goodbye to overwork, overwhelm, and limited growth.
This is your opportunity to start designing your business to run like clockwork!
Unfortunately that’s what happens to so many business owners, and I get it!
There are SO many pieces involved + SO MUCH TO DO to keep a business running. And too much of that (or all of it) is currently falling on YOU.
Maybe you even hired some team members thinking that would free up your time…
…(ya know — so that you can focus on the high level work), only to now be bogged down all day with questions + interruptions from the very team members that were hired to make your life easier…
And then you find yourself mumbling under your breath…
and you start having fantasies about firing your entire team, burning half the business to the ground and pretending you’d just be happier as a solopreneur.
But, I’m calling BS on that.
‘Cause that’s not who you are, and growing a team & a business that runs without you doesn’t have to feel this way. You don’t need to be working longer & harder. Actually, quite the opposite. The problem is simple, and so is the solution.
YOU’VE JUST BEEN FOCUSED ON THE WRONG THINGS.
You’ve put in the work. You had the idea. You built this baby from the ground up. You did EVERYTHING until you realized that growing more wouldn’t be possible by just ‘doing more’ yourself, you now know it means building the systems + team to properly support you.
How Long Could You Step Away From the Business Before Things Start Falling Apart … or Grinding to a Halt?
An hour, a day…maybe two…a week at the max?
Our 4-week vacation is the ultimate litmus test for an entrepreneur… can your business run and GROW without you being present for an entire 4 weeks?
The good news is that you can!
The great news is the Run Like Clockwork Accelerator is how you make it your reality.
But to get your business running like clockwork… the first step is always KNOWING WHERE YOU ARE NOW, and getting clear on WHERE YOU’RE HEADED!
Overwhelm + overworking stop you from achieving the vision you’re truly capable of. We use our 4D Mix Framework to get clear on the phase of business you’re currently in and this framework helps you focus on exactly what you need right now, while giving you the exact milestones you need to hit to graduate to the next phase.
Then your job becomes really clear + simple: get to the next phase.

Phase One: DOING
- You’re still DOING the majority of the time.
- You’re spending your days executing tasks + projects.
- You may even have team members, but without you continuing to do the actual work, the business wouldn’t survive.
- You’re essential to the day-to-day operation and quite frankly there wouldn’t be a business without you there everyday making it happen.
Phase Three: Delegating
- You spend a good chunk of your time training, elevating + mentoring the team to make sure they are able to be autonomous in their roles.
- You’re working on getting team members to a place where they can operate without you.
- Your team members know exactly what to do to achieve the outcomes they’re responsible for and don’t need your approval to make decisions.
- Your team members can make decisions without involving you.
- They’re experts in their roles and quite honestly they can do the doing even better than you!
Phase Two: Deciding
- You spend a lot of time answering questions, approving, reviewing + giving feedback to team members.
- You thought having team members would free you up, but at this point all it’s done is bog you down.
- You often feel like you’ve answered lots of questions + made 407 decisions at the end of the day.
- You’re exhausted & often feel like you never have time to get any of your own work done.
Phase Four: Designing
- You spend the majority of your time in the visionary seat of your business.
- You have tons of time to strategize, dream up the bigger picture and have lots of SPACE within your work days and weeks.
- You’re no longer involved in the day-to-day operation and the business actually grows without your involvement each + every day.
If you’re in the DOING, DECIDING, or DELEGATING phase of your business… it’s time to get things running like clockwork.
So, are you wondering just what exactly IS a business that ‘Runs Like Clockwork?’
A business that Runs Like Clockwork is one that leverages your team, optimizes your systems + scales with efficiency while creating the freedom for you to LIVE your life again!
When you as the CEO get to Phase 4 (DESIGNING) you’ll have a business that allows you to leverage your unique STRENGTHS, a team that SUPPORTS your vision, SYSTEMS that are fully optimized & efficient, and the mental space to focus on the future STRATEGY.
This is your CLOCKWORK business.
A Clockworked business will unblock the bottlenecks and allow things to easily flow, meaning that things do not have to feel like a constant struggle. A bigger business doesn’t have to feel like more work… it can actually be less, when you clockwork it…and you’ll finally be able to pass our 4-week vacation litmus test.
We’ve helped hundreds of small business owners create faster more sustainable growth, remove themselves as the bottleneck, AND unplug for a full 4-week vacation…the ultimate clockwork litmus test!
It’s our metric to know whether or not your business is fully Clockworked.
It’s the ultimate litmus test for an entrepreneur… can your business run and GROW without you being present for an entire 4 weeks? Completely unplugged, that means… no need to check-in, no sneaking in work early in the morning before the family wakes up… a full exit for 4-weeks.
Why 4 weeks?
Because everything in a business will typically happen within that 4 week cycle, giving us REALLY solid data on how well the business can run without you.
And we know you didn’t ever start this business with the intention of becoming imprisoned by it… but for so many of us, that’s how it ends up. We basket weave ourselves into every department, every project, every decision… stunting the overall growth of the business and in-turn, ourselves.
The Run Like Clockwork Accelerator is your chance to finally grow & scale your business efficiently, while actually freeing up your own time.
Sound too good to be true? It’s not.
We’ve helped hundreds of small business owners implement our proven Clockwork system so that they can create faster, more sustainable growth, remove themselves as the bottleneck, and pass our ultimate clockwork litmus test: the 4-week vacation!
And while we often talk about getting your business ready so that you could pass our “4-week vacation test”, while the business runs without you — let’s take a moment to talk about those life events that aren’t exactly…a vacation?
Like…
a global pandemic?!,
homeschooling your children,
parental leave,
a life threatening diagnosis,
natural disasters,
new business opportunities,
finally writing that book,
a family member who needs care,
the list goes on…
We’ve got to stop treating this “rainy day” preparedness as if there’s never going to be a rainy day…
We often talk about having a financial emergency fund for our finances, not because we want emergencies to happen, but because we can be pretty confident that eventually, they WILL…
- the tire is going to go flat,
- the kids are going to need to do to the doctor,
- our dishwasher is going to break…
and the same thing goes for preparing our business to run regardless of our life events by removing ourselves as the linchpin.
We like to think of Clockworking your business as the entrepreneur’s version of insurance.
Getting your business to run like Clockwork isn’t just about taking some luxurious 4-week getaway (although, that’s nice too!), but rather as a way to ensure your business will be okay during any unexpected events.
This is about creating a LEGACY and making sure that your family, your team, and your clients are all able to be supported by the business, independent of you.
However, that isn’t going to happen anytime soon if you keep things running the way they are, and you know that.
Before we go any further, hi, I’m Adrienne! Co-founder of Run Like Clockwork.
I spent most of 2018 pushing off the idea of pregnancy, the Clockwork book was launching, we were building a new business, growing a team, I was speaking and traveling all over the world…
I’ve spent 10+ years mastering operational efficiency, systems, teams & lean think and it STILL felt downright SCARY to throw a pregnancy into that mix just because there are so many unknowns, but then I realized this was the perfect time to run the 4-week vacation litmus test on my own business.
I know that same fear is true for so many business owners that I speak with. They delay starting a family because they can’t fathom running the business AND having a baby, they suffocate the newest business idea because they don’t even have time for the current business, let alone another start another one, they feel the pressure of being on vacation and rush back to work, they shutdown the business when a parent gets ill because they have no idea how to take care of both…
I want you to be able to take the maternity or paternity leave that corporate never gave you, enjoy the time with an elderly parent, take the sabbatical, start the next business idea, or heck… even just stay home with your family and let them get some uninterrupted QT with you… without worrying about the business tanking in your absence.
This year I took my own “4-week vacation” — although I’m sure all the mamas out there will be LOLing when they read this because I’m sure they know this wasn’t be a real “vacation” to take care of our newborn. I personally ended up taking 6 weeks completely off and then slowly weaned myself back over the next 4 months. But honestly, having our business in a place where I can take time off COMPLETELY unplugged without having to stress about the business is what I’ve worked for, it’s what our team has worked for, and I’m so incredibly grateful we clockworked the business so that I can sleep at night (hahah just kidding, no one sleeps through the night around here) knowing our clients are being supported, our company is growing, and I don’t need to be there to make things run.
