Dear time-poor, underpaid Aussie founder
Sad but true fact: Most seven-figure business owners in Australia are not
‘making it’...
At the weekend BBQ, they can brag
about how they are pulling in $2 million, $3 million, or $5
million a year. But behind the scenes? They’re barely breaking
even. Stressed out at level 4000. Working 100-hour weeks,
missing their kids grow up…
And taking home far less than they deserve when they’re
talented, driven and taking the risk of running a business.
They’re stretching a $180K single income, give or take,
to cover a mortgage, school fees and a car payment.
And when they finally get some time off?
Their phone won’t stop ringing with questions from a team
who can’t handle a single hiccup without checking in.
Does this sound like the Aussie dream?
Not to me…
And so, my question to you is: why put up with it? Especially when there’s a proven system to transform from a
time-poor, low-profit, low-efficiency business…
Into a flexible,
high-margin $10M+ beast
that runs whether you’re on site or not.
I’m
talking about the freedom to go on a
4-, 6-, even 8-week trip to the US or Europe with the fam and come back to
a business that is humming along…
Fully automated and run by a switched-on team you can Trust
I’m talking about income that matches the work you’ve put in.
Not just $180K, a solid income for a professional, but 3, or 4 or even 5
times that…
And I’m talking about control -
the choice to scale and operate your business… and the ability
to invest into property
Or to exit for seven or eight figures and move on to something
you care about more… or even just run it all again, cos you’ve got the systems
to do it.
If that’s something you want, and you’re
sick of settling for
“rich in revenue”, but that feeling of being broke, tired and burned out in
reality…
Keep reading now.

Since 2013, I’ve Helped Over 18,000+ Aussie Founders Earn More, Work Less And Get Their Lives Back…
Hi there.
I’m Nick Psaila, the founder of UpCoach.
Australia’s #1 business coaching program for owners who want to scale from $1 million to $10 million and become the parent, husband and entrepreneur they know they can be.
We’ve worked with thousands of founders who’ve walked in your shoes…
And who are now more profitable, more streamlined, and scaling towards big ambitious goals.
Like The Steelfixing Group…
They came to us losing $289,000 a year.
Fifteen months later, they'd turned that into almost $1 million in net profit... on the same $10 million business.
Or David at Teeny Tiny Homes
He added over $2 million in net profit in about 180 days.
Or John at Boss Construction.
He came to us $280,000 in debt.
Today he's at $3.8 million, he's not stuck at his desk everyday and he's opened a second business in the Cook Islands.
These are just three examples of literally thousands.
But I share them with you so you know I’m not blowing smoke.
And unlike big-wig business consultancies, whose staff have never run a business in their life…
I’ve actually walked in your shoes.
Scaled more than 5 of my own businesses to 8-figures and currently on the board of multiple 7- and 8-figure companies…
Bricks-and-mortar operations that get stuck in everyday doing the hard stuff all across Australia.
All this is to say, what I’m about to share actually works… You can slash your on-site or in business hours by 10 hours per week in the next 90 days…
Free up that time for family, friendships and de-stressing…
And take home an extra $200K-$600K in income over the next 12 months, if you install the right systems for your business’s stage of growth.
But to do so, you’ve first got to address the pink elephant in the room:
FOD.
Presented LIVE To 18,000+ People
My Vision
Help Aussie founders scale from $1M to $10M, increase profit, work fewer hours, and build a business that gives them back time, freedom, and family life.
Nick Psaila
Founder of UpCoach.
Founder Operating Debt (FOD) Is The Secret Reason You’re Stressed Out, Time-Poor & Not Happy With Your Take-Home… Even Though Your Biz Does Seven Figures In Rev…
FOD stands for Founder’s Operational Debt.
It’s the build-up of undocumented
processes, decision-making, lack of AI integration, weak
accountability and YOU-centric systems that are quietly strangling your business's profitability.
Let me say straight out of the gate, if you’re
drowning in FOD, it’s not your fault.
Nobody
teaches you this at TAFE or Uni, and most business
strategists barely understand it.
PLUS…
Full-time admin employees collecting an $80k-a-year paycheck
while scrolling TikTok don’t have to deal with FOD.
Anyway, here's how it works…
When you started, you were the business.
Every price, every quote, every decision was worked
out in your head.
Or maybe in your phone’s note app.
And that was fine.
It was fast. Nobody
had to
ask permission.
You just did it.
Then you made your first few
hires.
You showed them the ropes on the job. They picked it
up. Away you went.
Still no problem.
Then the work doubled.
And you doubled again.
Now you've got 14 people on the books.
And your head is still the system. Nobody knows how you price a job... because it's never
been written down.
Nobody knows what to do
when a supplier stuffs up a delivery... because you've
always just handled it.
Your
2IC doesn't know
if he's allowed to sign off on a
$4,000 upgrade or variation, so he calls you.
Every single one of those calls is a small loan you
took out years ago.
Back when your business was less sophisticated and
hardly anyone was relying on you.
It made more sense to run everything through you.
But it doesn’t anymore.
That's the debt.
You borrowed against your own time to grow
faster.
Now it's time to pay it back.
And the interest is
brutal.
Presented LIVE To 18,000+ People
The business turns over $2… $5… $7 million, and you’re like, “Where the heck is it all going?”...
Because it’s certainly not your bank account.
That’s Founder’s Operating Debt.
It’s not a cash-flow problem. It’s not a lead problem.
It’s that the business got bigger and the operating
system didn’t mature.
And the worst part?
Every extra dollar of revenue makes it worse.
More jobs, more staff, more suppliers, more decisions...
all still funnelling through one person.
Which is why
working harder makes it worse, not better.
So what’s the alternative?
Operational Maturity, achieved through something I call the S3 Operational Maturity Matrix - a three-stage process I take every owner I work with through.
Presented LIVE To 18,000+ People
How 18,000’s Of Aussie Owners Are Building Streamlined, Profitable Businesses While Slashing 10s Of Hours Per Week Off Their Workload With The S3 Operational Maturity Matrix…
Right now your business looks like this.
Highs and lows. No stability. A
tonne of effort going in every week and no idea what’s coming out
the other end.
A cracker month where you think you’ve finally
cracked it, then a quarter where you’re sweating on wages.
We want it to look like this.
0.8% better margin this month.
Another percent next month.
Boring to watch. But hold that for a year, and it’s ten or 12 points of margin your business has never had.
On a $3 million business,
that’s $300,000 a year.
So how do you improve your business bit by bit like this? And finally win back your time, your headspace and family life?
First, you focus on stability.
Presented LIVE To 18,000+ People
Stability:
Plug The Leaks And Find The $200K Already Sitting In Your Business…
Stability is the first part of the S3 Operational Maturity Matrix. It’s where we flatten out those swings and make your money predictable.
And there are three parts to it.First, your pipeline - we fix your lead flow so it’s consistent and predictable.
You can keep your word of mouth and referrals; that’s gold.
But we’ll show you (or even run it for you) a system that goes way beyond that and gets leads into your inbox like clockwork. Once your leads are flowing, the next step of stability is fixing your conversion process. You have to know that every lead that hits your pipeline is treated with the respect it deserves. Because at the end of the day, you’ve paid for that lead, either in cash, attention or energy. We build one way of quoting that everybody in your business uses. Same rules, same margins, every time.
We map out what happens from the first enquiry to the signed job, so nothing sits in someone's inbox for a fortnight. And we build a handover checklist so the job that got sold is the job that gets delivered. No more winning work you lose money on. No more finding out at the end whether it went well. Third, we look at your money management.
We look at the deals you’re making.Are you doing jobs that help your cash flow, or are you getting the raw end of the deal?
Can you renegotiate costs? Are you making the right investments at the right time? Or are you winging it, and leaving yourself up a creek without a paddle come payday? Once we get that stabilised, your business is virtually running on autopilot.
You’ve got leads arriving predictably.They are getting consistently converted into paying customers. And you're handling the cash in a smart way that helps you grow, and not hold you back. The next step is to optimise your structure.
Presented LIVE To 18,000+ People
Structure:
Get 8 To 10 Hours A Week Back And Build A Business That Runs While You’re Kicking Your Feet Up…
The truth is, your business will never get to
$10, $20, $30 million if every process revolves around you like you’re the centre
of the universe.
So structure is where we take
the burden of work off you and put it onto a gun team that
can perform even better than you - believe it or not.
First, your time.
We audit where your week actually goes. Not where you think
it goes, but where it actually goes.
Then we work
out your hourly rate. Take what you paid yourself last year
and use the $$ per hour formula… divide it by 3,000 hours.
And when we look at your diary, a big chunk of your week is
probably spent doing work you
could pay someone $30 an hour to do.
Chasing a delivery. Redoing a quote someone got wrong.
Sitting in a meeting you don't need to be in.
We
hand that work off to a support role. Even if they take
longer than you would, you're miles in front.
Second, Your Team.
We work out who's responsible for what, who answers to who,
and what a good job actually looks like in every role.
Then we model how efficient each person really is,
so you can see it in
black and white instead of guessing.
Some staff lift the second
someone tells them what they're accountable for.
And now and then you find out you're carrying someone the
business can't afford.
We help you hire the right
ones too, and then build the culture that keeps them,
because losing a good employee and starting again costs you
a fortune every time.
Third, Your Systems.
We write down how the work actually gets done. Quoting,
running a job, tendering, site handover, invoicing, how the
office talks to the site.
Not a dusty manual
nobody opens. Loom recordings, checklists,
apps your team can pull up on their phone.
Your business stops running on your memory and starts
running on process.
That's the difference between
a business you can leave for two weeks and one that rings
you on day three of your holiday.
Presented LIVE To 18,000+ People
Scalability:
Build A $10 Million Business That Runs Without You, Or An Asset You Can Sell For Seven Figures (Or More)…
The third S is Scalability.
And it comes last for a
reason.
Scaling a business that's still leaking money
and still runs through your head just gives you a bigger mess to
manage.
That's what you've been doing for years.
Totally different game.
So with scale, we start with what you actually want. The
income, the hours, the size of the thing, whether you want
to be out of it in five years.
Most owners have
never once sat down and really thought about this.
Maybe you actually like the work, you like a big fat $500k PA income, but you just want to do less - cut back to 20 hours per week so you can actually see your kids grow up.
Or maybe you’re like “no way!”. Once you hit $7… $8… $10 mill, you’re out. Ready to sell and settle for an exit that will last the rest of your life.
There is no wrong answer.
Once you've picked, we design the business backwards from that
answer.
Second, your model.
We set the twelve-month number and build the plan to hit
it. We lift your gross and net profit deliberately, month by month.
We line the team up behind that number so everybody's
pulling the same way.
And we add a second division or
another income stream when the business is strong enough to
carry one.
Third, your assets.
We split your money into three buckets.
01.
What the business needs to run.
02.
What gets put aside for tax, in a trust.
03.
And what gets drip-fed into investments outside the company.
Could be crypto… could be a rental home in Perth… It's up to you.
Either way, you're building wealth
for your family that doesn't live or die on whether the business
has a good year.
A $10 million business that runs
without you standing over it and pays you what you're actually worth.
Or an asset somebody else wants badly enough to write you
a seven- or eight-figure cheque for.
Either way, the S3 System can get you there.

Emily Mitchell
Upcoach transformed our business and gave us back control.
Working with Chris and the team from Upcoach over the past year has been nothing short of transformational. His insight, advice, and steady guidance have been truly unmatched. We've not only learned so much about how to run and manage our business more effectively, but also about ourselves—our strengths, blind spots, and how to lead with confidence. Thanks to Chris, we've gained back control—not just of our business, but of our time, energy, and personal lives too. He helped us step back from the chaos and reconnect with our purpose and vision, while giving us the practical tools and accountability we needed to make lasting change. We're genuinely so grateful for his support. If you're lucky enough to work with Chris and any of the team at Upcoach, we highly recommend you take the opportunity—you won't regret it.

Hopefully you've had a read through some of our
testimonials and seen what Operational Maturity looks like.
With over 110 five-star reviews on Google from genuine
Aussie founders, you can tell we’re serious about changing the lives of our
clients.
But you might be sitting there thinking
that's great for them, but it'd never work for me.
At a different level of growth…
Facing unique problems…
I get it.
Here's the thing though...
Whether you're time-poor,
running thin margins, or you just know in your gut the business should be
giving you more than it is…
We've Sat Across From Founders With Your Exact Problems Dozens Of Times - Turning Their Businesses Around To Achieve Operational Maturity.
Take John at Boss Construction.
He was ten years in the game and $280,000 in the hole.
Losing hundreds of thousands a year on top of that.
He was a gun on the tools.
But nobody had ever shown him how to run the business
behind them.
Using the S3 Operational Maturity Matrix, we fixed his pricing and got his numbers visible…
Trained his blokes…
And built the builder relationships that brought the
work in.
He's off the tools now, and he's opened
a second business in the Cook Islands.
In his words:
"Within the first 10 months we pushed to $2.4 million. And currently $3.8 million."
Or Matt and Mitch at Skellskaff.
When they rang me, it was chaos.
They were bleeding thousands on mistakes and
callbacks.
And going through hellish weeks where
they weren't sure they'd make payday.
Using the
S3 System, we got their numbers straight and rebuilt their
business model.
His Team Was Trained
John's blokes were trained so the business could rely less on John personally handling everything.
Put in an end-to-end system…
Redesigned the whole yard…
They doubled their
net profit to over $550,000 in ten months.
Cleared every cent of debt…
And they're both under 25 hours a week now.
As Matt puts it:
"We can both take 8 weeks of holidays and the business will run without us with no hassles."
That's operational maturity.
Then there's
Dimitri at Direct Cable Supplies.
He was logging
100-hour weeks, flying to China every single month, and about to shut
the doors over cash flow.
Using the S3 System, we overhauled his business, built
the systems and put the right people in.
He goes
to
China twice a year now.
And he's at every school pickup and every rep soccer
game for his kids.
Here's what he says about the numbers:
"In the past 12 months, we've had a 30% increase. We've had a target to meet $1.5 million. And we've already met that and still have a quarter to go."
Three businesses, four good blokes, and a lot of hard work
was done here.
But they are now reaping the
rewards.
And the rewards aren't small.
Now, up to this point, I've shown you what's broken in
most Aussie businesses and how we fix it…
The ins
and outs of the S3 System that's worked for over 1,000
Aussie founders.
And what Operational Maturity -
a stable, growing, independent business
- looks like.
24 months, 4% increase.
12 months, 30% increase.
Which usually leads to the same question…
What would that actually look like in my business?
There's only one way to answer that properly, and it's
to look at your numbers.
So that's what I'd
propose we do.
