Founders at your stage. Josh in the chair. Two Boardroom sessions a month, a one to one with Josh every month and a 90-day plan you are held to, so you stop making the big calls on your own. [Book a discovery call](https://www.elev8os.com.au/book?offer=boardroom&hsLang=en-au) [How a month works](https://www.elev8os.com.au/boardroom#how-it-works) Boardroom sessions, chaired by Josh Fortnightly Director Debrief with Josh 1:1 monthly Founder-led businesses $1M to $5M \+ GST a month $2,500 ## Good at running it. Doing it alone. Most founders at this stage are not short of ability. They are short of a room of people who understand the job. - ### No one to think with. Your team brings you problems. Your partner has heard enough. Your accountant sees the numbers once a year. - ### Stuck at a ceiling. The business is doing well. Getting it to the next level needs decisions you keep putting off. - ### Every call is yours. Hiring, pricing, the big customer, the bank. You make them alone and find out later if you were right. ## How a month in the Boardroom works. 1. 01 Fortnightly ### The Boardroom meets Josh chairs. Founders at your revenue stage, real numbers, straight answers. A two-minute check-in before and after, and everyone leaves with commitments the room will follow up. 2. 02 Monthly ### Director Debrief One to one with Josh. Your numbers, your plan and the decision in front of you, reviewed properly. In the third month of each quarter, the strategy session takes its place. 3. 03 Quarterly ### Strategy session One to one with Josh to review the quarter and set the next. Your new 90-day plan arrives within 24 hours. 4. 04 Every day ### Between sessions Your room keeps going on the Boardroom Platform. Ask a question, share a win, check your commitments, reach the Elev8 team. ## Your room does not stop when the meeting ends. Every member gets their own dashboard. Watch your Elev8 Score move month by month, see what you committed to, and walk into every meeting prepared. - Your score and 8 levers, tracked since day one - Meeting prep and deep dive packs in one place - Commitments the room can see, and will ask about - A private feed for your four seats, plus a direct line to Josh elev8os.com.au/members Your Elev8 Score 46 / 80 +24 since joining 0 20 40 60 80 Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Start 22 46 / 80 | Mar | 22 | | --- | --- | | Apr | 26 | | May | 27 | | Jun | 31 | | Jul | 33 | | Aug | 37 | | Sep | 40 | | Oct | 46 | Prep for Tuesday - ✓Submit your October check-in - ○Read Priya's deep dive pack - ○Close out: apprentice induction checklist From Josh, to every room Check-ins close Friday.

Real accountability needs a small room. Four founders means everyone is heard every month, Josh knows every business properly, and nobody gets to hide. When a room is full, it is full. New rooms open as Josh can chair them properly, not before. ## Who the Boardroom is for. ### It is for you if - You run a business turning over $1M to $5M - You have a team, even a small one - You are a capable operator, operating alone at the top - You want a peer room that holds you to what you say ### It is not for - Businesses not trading yet - Founders who want someone to run it for them - Anyone after a networking group or a coaching circle - Sole traders with no plan to build a team Turning over more than $5M, or want Josh closer to the business? He will talk you through Elev8 Platinum on your discovery call. ## Three ways to take a seat. For founders building toward $1M ### Elev8 On your call - One Boardroom session a month, chaired by Josh - A quarterly strategy session - Cohort matched by revenue stage - 90-day plan aligned to your Annual Strategic Business Plan - The Elev8 Boardroom Platform, library and templates - Operational questions answered by the Elev8 team The flagship ### Elev8 Boardroom For founder-led businesses at $1M to $5M $2,500+ GST a month Billed monthly in advance on a 12-month agreement.

Elev8 came in and built exactly that. Twelve months later we are running with three chairs, systems in place, and I am finally working in this business because I want to, not because it cannot function without me. - Solo to team of three - Systems built OwnerHealth and Wellness “ Second to none. > I have seen the results Josh and Elev8 have achieved firsthand, and have applied their systems and frameworks directly inside my own practice. The approach to scaling, building accountability, and removing the owner from every operational decision is second to none. - Systems implemented - Scaling framework applied DirectorAccounting and Professional Services ![Josh Lawrence, founder of Elev8 and chair of the Elev8 Boardroom](https://www.elev8os.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/elev8-site/josh-portrait.jpg?width=640&height=800&name=josh-portrait.jpg) ## Meet Josh. I have run businesses in fitness, security, training and barbering, and I know what it is like to carry every decision yourself. The Boardroom is the room I wanted back then: a few serious operators, real numbers on the table, and someone in the chair who will not let you off the hook. Josh Lawrence Founder of Elev8 · Chair of the Boardroom Every room is chaired by Josh, so seats are limited. ## Fair questions. How is this different from a peer group or coaching?+ A coach asks questions and leaves the work to you. A peer group is often twenty people half listening. The Boardroom is four operators and a chair who has run businesses himself, working on real numbers, with commitments that get followed up. Why only four seats?+ Because that is what makes it work. With four people, everyone gets real airtime every month, Josh knows every business properly, and your deep dive comes round every fourth meeting. It is not a number we move. Where do meetings happen?+ Rooms meet in person across regional NSW, starting in Tamworth, and online for members further afield. Your room agrees the rhythm, and the Boardroom Platform keeps things moving between sessions. What does it cost, and how do I leave?+ $2,500 + GST a month, billed monthly in advance, on a 12-month agreement. After your first 3 months you can leave at any time with 30 days’ written notice. What if I need more than a seat?+ Some members need things done, not just discussed. Elev8 Platinum adds a monthly project delivered by the Elev8 team, Monday team WIPs with Josh and a personal line to him. It is by invitation: Josh will raise it with you when it fits. Nobody gets pitched. What happens on the discovery call?+ Answer a few questions about the business, then pick a time with Josh straight away. The discovery call is 60 minutes on where the business is, what is holding it back and whether a seat makes sense. If it is not the right fit, Josh will tell you and say why. ![](https://www.elev8os.com.au/hubfs/elev8-site/bg-book-room.jpg) ## Take your seat at the table.
