Build A Business That Works
A workshop designed for the way you actually think — not the way you “should” think
2 in person days | Central London | 29th June & 6th July 2026
plus 3 months membership of The Genius Group
When your business works, it’s wonderful
It’s fun, exciting, and satisfying — and it supports the life and lifestyle you really want
But when it’s not, it can be hell
You get sucked into the daily whirlwind as
self-doubt, stress, overwhelm, and exhaustion set in
But it doesn’t have to be that way
Imagine a business that works for you, rather than you working for it
A business designed for the way that you actually think, feel and operate
Build A Business That Works is a 3 month business and personal transformation programme
putting you at the heart of your business
Most programmes focus on strategy, systems, and productivity but
Self-awareness is the most powerful business tool there is
And almost nobody teaches it
Self Awareness changes everything
You stop working against yourself
And start building your life and business on your values and what’s really important to you
Accessing ways of working that energise rather than drain
Allowing you to make your best decisions
And take consistent powerful action
And when you understand how you work, you begin to see how others work
which opens a whole new layer of possibility
When you truly understand yourself everything else becomes easier
Acrastination®
The Toolbox at the heart of Build a Business That works
Developed by Doug Mather over 20 years of research across psychology, neuroscience
and behavioural design Acrastination® is built on one core insight:
Consistent high performance becomes natural when you’re operating in full alignment with who you are
It’s not another productivity system. Not another set of rules.
It’s a way of understanding yourself and others that makes everything else easier
Enabling you to
Do What Matters, When it Matters
