Where you might be starting from

The coaching is for business owners and established or newly self-employed people, as well as those preparing to start.

  1. You are about to become self-employed.

    Before you start, you want to decide how the business should earn money, how much of it should depend on your own hours and what must remain possible outside work.

  2. The business works, and it has turned into a job that consumes you.

    Perhaps you accept work you meant to turn down, carry every client relationship yourself or keep postponing the idea you started the business for.

For founders and senior executives in larger companies, Executive advisory for founders and CEOs offers regular conversations about the company’s decisions and direction.

The idea behind the coaching Your company can recreate the job you left.

You can leave employment and recreate the same workload, the same calendar and the same lack of room for everything outside work.

That is why an offer and a target market are not enough to define a business. The business model also decides how you spend your days, where the pressure lands and how directly your income depends on your own time and energy.

Questions to think with

For me, the useful questions are practical.

  • Which work do I still want to do personally?

  • Which responsibilities give me energy, and which ones empty the tank?

  • How much of the business depends on my hours?

  • What pace can I sustain?

  • What must remain possible outside work?

You are welcome to try them on your own business before we talk.

Take the five-minute check

How it works We begin with what you want from it.

I ask questions and challenge how you see the choices available to you.

The aim is to make the next step concrete enough for you to act on it.

The first conversation stands on its own. Whether we meet again is something you decide afterwards.

What you tell me stays between us.

Your ambition and your business

We can work with your goals, strengths and weaknesses, what gives you energy and what drains it, and how customers, income and time fit with the life you want to live. We look at weaknesses to understand them and plan around them. You do not have to become good at everything.

When practical business sparring would help, we bring customers, offers, income and time into the conversation. That can mean which clients to say yes to, what to sell and how to price it, and how to deliver it with less of your own time.

What happens in the first conversation

Who you will talk to I did not leave a dream job because I wanted less.

In early 2023, I stepped down as Global Head of Sales Engineering at Leapwork to focus on my health. It would have been easier to explain if I had hated the job. I didn’t.

After a few months away, I began asking what I wanted to return to. I wrote down three conditions.

  1. I wanted to work at a pace that felt like mine.

  2. I wanted to use what I had learned from building and scaling companies.

  3. And I wanted to give a longstanding dream of building my own business a real chance.

That became Top Møller Venture & Consult.

In my longer engagements with companies, coaching leaders and teams through the implementation has been part of the work.
