    5×5 business map

    Find the growth bottlenecks

    We used the 5×5 map to look across Sean’s business. Two constraints were limiting revenue growth:

    Physical space

    Growth depended on the studio and Sean being there.

    Client administration

    Managing coaching plans and communication added overhead to every client.

    Decision: Focus on growth beyond the studio and capacity for more clients.

  2. 02

    Opportunity rubric

    Decide what was worth building

    An online client portal scored high enough to justify investment. It could address both constraints: support clients between visits and bring coaching administration together.

    • Business impact
    • Likelihood of success
    • Adoption friction
    • Time to evidence
    • Cost and risk

    Decision: Invest in a first portal Sean and his clients could use.

  3. 03

    Smallest useful experiment

    Let real use shape the next step

    Sean and his clients tried the portal in everyday coaching. Their feedback showed where community features, routines and workshop signup were too complicated. We simplified them.

    Decision: Improve what people actually use.

  4. 04

    Review and reinvest

    Expand where the business needs it

    Paid online workshops opened a way to reach groups beyond the studio. Private coaching brought plans, media and communication together, replacing Google Sheets. We strengthened recording reliability and private-client access as more delivery depended on the portal.

    Decision: Build on the service and revenue opportunity.

The business payoff

Better client service

Coaching plans, media and communication came together to support clients between sessions.

Revenue potential beyond the studio

Online workshops at $35 each created a way to serve paying groups beyond Sean's physical location.

Capacity for more clients

Less administration and more effective delivery created room to serve additional paying coaching clients.

Measures to track next

Track workshop revenue and delivery costs, revenue from additional coaching clients, and client retention. Compare the financial improvement with the cost of building and running the portal. Added capacity matters when it becomes profitable work or reduced spending.

Where could better service create room for growth?

We can start with that problem and work out whether there is a useful next step.
