"Inefficiency is just part of growing a business."
"Just hire more people to handle the workload."
"Every business has waste — it's unavoidable."
"Invest in new equipment and the problems will sort themselves."
"If bigger companies can't eliminate waste, what chance do you have?"
Exposing the 7 hidden types of waste that are silently draining your profits every single day (Hint: most of them are invisible to you right now)
A practical, shop-floor-proven framework that works whether you're in manufacturing, services, or any operation with processes
Discovering how to turn your own team into waste-hunting machines - without consultants on retainer
Real, battle-tested systems used across industries from food manufacturing to mining to the NHS
I've walked into operations where the owner is working 60-hour weeks, the team is flat out, and everyone's "busy" - but the business is barely breaking even. I've seen production lines grinding to a halt at 3 AM while maintenance scrambles. I've watched skilled people doing the same rework for the fifth time that week because nobody stopped to ask why.
That was the signal every time: the problem isn't effort. It's the invisible waste hiding inside processes that nobody's been shown how to see.
- Most strategies are built for corporations with Six Sigma departments and dedicated improvement teams - not owner-managers wearing five hats.
- They ignore the reality that you can't shut down production to "fix things" - you need improvements that happen while the work continues.
- So they throw jargon at you - Kaizen events, value stream mapping, statistical process control - without showing you where to actually start.
- Waste gets normalised as "the cost of doing business," without giving you tools to find it, measure it, and kill it.
If you're thinking, "We've tried to improve things before and it didn't stick," I hear you. I've seen it hundreds of times. Most improvement efforts fail because they start in the wrong place.

Built without the overwhelm, with NONE of the typical consulting jargon.
Instead, this 7-Day "Cut £500 of Waste" Challenge uses simple daily steps so you can find and fix what's quietly costing you thousands:
Within 24 hours of starting, you'll spot waste you've walked past every day for years.
By day 7, you'll have:
- A mapped process with every waste point identified and costed - so you know exactly where money is leaking
-Proven tools to eliminate inefficiencies your team can use without you standing over them
Each day, you'll get a short, practical lesson designed to fit around a real operation - between meetings, on the shop floor, or in those ten minutes before your first call:
Day 1: The 7 Waste Types Revealed - Learn the TIMWOOD framework and immediately identify which wastes are costing you the most (with £ estimates)
Day 2: Map It & See It - Pick one process and map every step. You'll spot waste hiding in plain sight that's been there for years
Day 3: Organise & Eliminate - Use the 5S method to cut waste from one specific area - desk, workstation, or process step
Day 4: The Quick Fix - Implement one change that removes duplication or unnecessary steps. Measure the time and cost saved
Day 5: Calculate Your Savings - Before-and-after evidence with actual £ figures. Even if it's 30 minutes per day saved, you'll see it adds up fast
Day 6: Multiply The Effect - Train one team member on what you've learned so waste-spotting isn't dependent on you
Day 7: Build The Habit - Create a waste-hunting checklist your team can use to find more opportunities - permanently
- Knows exactly where money is leaking from your processes - not guessing
- Has eliminated at least £500 of documented waste from one process alone
- Owns a repeatable method to find savings across every area of the business
- Has a team member already trained to spot waste without you
- Can calculate the ROI of systematic improvement - and the real cost of doing nothing
- Sees the path from £500 saved this week to £50k+ saved this year

That's because most improvement efforts start with theory, not results. This challenge starts with finding real money in your first session. When you see £500 disappear from your waste column in a week, "sticking with it" stops being discipline - it becomes obvious.
15 minutes a day. That's it. And here's the irony - being "flat out" is usually the symptom of the waste we're about to find. The busiest operations I've worked with had the most waste hiding inside them. You'll gain time by doing this, not lose it.
