Are you truly focused on what matters? Answer these 4 critical questions to find out. 1️⃣Is there a gap between where your business is and where you’d like it to be? 2️⃣Do you make excuses and procrastinate instead of taking personal accountability? 3️⃣Would your business struggle to survive without you? 4️⃣Are you feeling burned out, and is it starting to take a toll on your personal life and health? These challenges are more common than you think—many technical founders face them as they grow. If you answered YES to any of these, you might be holding your business back by not focusing on what truly matters. Real change requires addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms. DM me if you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and start making meaningful progress. -------------- 🖐️ My name is Laurent Notin; I empower business founders to thrive.

The Bottleneck Coach: Getting Entrepreneurs Unstuck
About us
Being an entrepreneur is a calling. You either have it in you, or you don’t. There's no alternative. And it’s one of the hardest jobs! You’ve got to wear many hats, acquire many skills, and make many decisions – fast. All whilst under extreme pressure to deliver quality work for your clients, take care of your employees, and ensure you don’t run out of cash flow. Your biggest risk? Becoming the bottleneck in your business. Many people will tell you it’s cash flow or unsuccessful marketing tactics. But it’s not. Having run several SMEs, including one with 150 people across 3 countries, and mentored hundreds of business owners – I can tell you - the biggest risk your business will ever face is YOU! Why? Because as the entrepreneur, you are responsible for setting the company’s direction and ensuring everyone follows the course and delivers what’s promised. Everything relies on you. You are the heart of the business. It’s engine. And when you get stuck, so does your business. And from this position, no matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to grow. Do you find yourself: 🙇 Constantly busy without progressing? 🙆 Entangled in the day-to-day with little time to reflect on the big picture? 💆 Prioritising your work over your health and family as you’re continually in reactive mode dealing with situations you hired others to handle? 💇 Feeling disconnected from your customers? 💁 Giving more credit to the critical voice in your head with a growing fear you’ll be caught out for not knowing enough? You can be a bottleneck in many ways, but the price you pay is always the same: you're stuck. When this happens, there are 2 things you need to do: 1. Make sure your mindset is in the right place 2. Implement the right tactics to get unstuck As a Bottleneck Coach, I work with business founders who are determined to get unstuck and scale their businesses.

Who hasn’t failed? Failure is one thing I can guarantee every technical founder will face. But some days, it’s hard to understand what’s going wrong. You might just have one of those days where, no matter what you try, nothing works. It’s like when I attempt a lift I’ve done hundreds of times before, but suddenly, I’m failing at it. I feel physically strong, no injuries—and yet, I can’t lift it. (Yes, there’s a technical explanation for this, but that’s not the point.) On days like these, we tend to push harder, and still, nothing changes. Over time, I’ve learned that sometimes the best move is to step back and come at it later. The struggle isn’t always about technique—it’s about knowing when to pause, reflect, and refocus. Don’t dwell on it—doing so only amplifies frustration. Let go. It’s OK. You’re human, and it’s normal to be vulnerable. Building a business is about focusing on what truly matters, not just pushing through every challenge. If you’re ready to focus on what’s most important and stop getting caught in the daily grind, DM me, and let’s talk about how you can move forward with clarity and confidence. -------------- 🖐️ My name is Laurent Notin; I empower business founders to thrive. 📈 Want to unlock your business potential?

I recently stumbled upon that TEDTalk from Ric Elias TEDTalk. Ric had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York in January 2009. What went through his mind as the doomed plane went down? 5 mn worth of anyone’s time. -------------- 🖐️ My name is Laurent Notin, I work with technical founders so they focus on what matters.

Overcoming Entrepreneurial Bottlenecks - A Coaching Case Study My client came to me for coaching because he wanted to grow his business but felt stuck. At first, he thought he was the bottleneck by personally managing all the projects. He said he enjoyed project management. However, through our coaching sessions, it became clear that the real issue was his fear that delegating would lower the quality of work. I helped him acknowledge this fear and encouraged him to see delegation as an opportunity to hire someone who could potentially raise the standards even higher.

We often gravitate toward the easy path to avoid discomfort. I get it—I’m guilty of it too. But every entrepreneur knows that challenges are part of the journey and that overcoming them builds resilience. For technical founders, one of the toughest challenges is embracing imperfection. Sometimes, "good enough" really is good enough. Let go, move forward, and iterate along the way.

Are you playing to your strengths? A key aspect of leadership is knowing when to delegate. If you're wearing too many hats, your business could be suffering. As a Business Coach, I often meet technical entrepreneurs overwhelmed with responsibilities. They’re managing day-to-day operations, marketing their products, handling customer service, troubleshooting tech issues, and more—all while trying to scale their business. It's simply not sustainable. The result? Growth slows down significantly. Doing everything yourself doesn’t equal efficiency or success. The most successful entrepreneurs know when to hand over the reins, freeing them up to focus on strategic growth and innovation. So, are you micro-managing or nurturing your business for growth? The choice is yours! If you’re ready to delegate and focus on scaling, let’s chat. I can help you make the shift.

If I waited for motivation to strike, I’d never get anything done—whether it's going to the gym or tackling work. Don’t rely on motivation to get you moving. Instead, build discipline and focus on consistency. One small step after another will always beat waiting for motivation. Here’s a tip: when I’m not feeling motivated to work out, I think about how good I’ll feel afterward. That’s usually enough to get me moving. I apply the same approach to tasks I don’t enjoy at work—I focus on the satisfaction of having it done. If you’re ready to build discipline and consistency in your business, let’s talk. I can help you develop the habits you need to move forward, even when motivation is nowhere to be found. DM me today.

My journey with imposter syndrome has been a long one, but over time I’ve learned to understand it better. I realized that when imposter syndrome takes hold, I physically withdraw, hunching in on myself. But with growing self-awareness, I discovered a simple way to quiet that inner voice: I just needed to adjust my posture. Standing tall—shoulders back, chest forward—helped me push that feeling aside and regain my confidence. If you’ve faced imposter syndrome, what small action has helped you overcome it?
