Private 1:1 on Zoom

Walk away with your #1 bottleneck identified

For business owners doing €500K–€2M

You Started Your Business for Freedom. So why does it still depend on you?

Most business owners at the €500k–€2M level face the same quiet problem:

The team exists, but decisions still flow back to you

Stepping away creates friction, stress, or slowdown

Growth is possible, but freedom keeps getting postponed

On paper, the business works. In reality, you are the system. If your business needs you to approve, fix, or decide things daily, you don’t own a true business asset yet. This workshop is for owners who are done with that.

Your business has grown. Your freedom hasn’t.

The answer isn’t more work. It isn’t even more revenue. It’s a better design.

You’ve done everything right. Built something real from nothing. Hired a team. You hit numbers other people only talk about.

And yet…

Every morning, you open your phone to a wall of messages from people who can’t move without you. Every vacation comes with a laptop and a knot in your stomach. Every “day off” is a fiction.

The problem isn’t your team. The problem isn’t your effort. The problem is how your business is designed.

What Happens If Nothing Changes?

Let’s be honest about what founder-dependency actually costs you:

Your health.
You’re running on fumes. The stress isn’t temporary — it’s compounding. And your body is keeping score.

Your family.
The dinners missed. The weekends half-present. The guilt that follows you everywhere because the business always wins.

Your growth.
You can’t think strategically when you’re buried in operations. The business plateaus because you plateau. There are only so many hours in a day, and you’re using all of them just keeping things running.

Your legacy.
Right now, you don’t own a business. You own a job. And it is the most stressful, underpaid, never-ending job you’ve ever had. And if you stopped showing up tomorrow, what would be left?

The longer you stay the bottleneck, the less your business is worth — to buyers, to your team, and to you.

Who This Is For

The Discovery Call with Dr. Philip Zimmermann is designed for established business owners, typically doing €500k–€2M, who:

Have real traction and a team in place

Feel the business still depends too much on them
Want to step out of daily operations without breaking the business

This is NOT for you if:

This is not for early-stage founders, side hustles, or anyone looking for shortcuts.

About Dr. Philip Zimmmermann

Dr. Philip Zimmermann isn’t a consultant who studied business from the outside. He’s a founder who built it from the inside — eight-plus businesses, from the ground up.

His doctorate is in strategic leadership, but his expertise doesn’t come from theory. It comes from decades of building, scaling, and designing companies that operate without him. He is the co-founder and CEO of Medici Global Ventures and one of the leading experts in designing and implementing Self-Managing Businesses.

Philip has spoken live to more than 500,000 people and shared the stage with Prime Ministers.
He’s helped hundreds of business owners remove themselves from daily operations and build companies that grow without constant founder involvement.

He also has a deep heart for philanthropy — because he believes business freedom isn’t just about what you gain. It’s about what you’re finally free to give.

When you book your discovery call, you’re getting a focused conversation with someone who’s been exactly where you are — and can help you engineer your way out.

"The Self-Managing Business Program gives you actionable tools you can implement immediately, not abstract theory. It helps you think differently about your business, bringing clarity to what matters most and how to execute with focus. It’s a powerful investment in becoming a more intentional and effective leader."

"Cris and Philip have condensed a lifetime of wisdom into practical, bite-size tools that are easy to apply. The program has been an invaluable investment in myself and in my company, offering clarity and direction exactly where I need it. You get as much out of it as you put in—and for me, the return has been tremendous."

"What I love most is that the program shifts your mindset from working in the business to intentionally working on the business. It brings structure, clarity, and a strategic lens that helps you design a company that truly runs on systems. It has made me a more thoughtful leader and given me a clearer vision for the future."

"The Self-Managing Business Program has helped me stay consistently focused on my company by building a weekly rhythm of reflection and intentional decision-making. I love the interaction with other business owners, which gives me fresh perspective and deeper understanding. It keeps me accountable and thinking strategically about the choices I make."
