Peter Boolkah

Hi, I’m Peter Boolkah, an award-winning business coach, author, speaker and creator of The Hamster Wheel Trap®. Since 2005, I’ve helped business owners scale profitable, valuable companies that can operate without depending on them. A major focus of my work is founder dependency, what happens when the owner becomes the bottleneck and too much of the business relies on their decisions, knowledge or involvement. I help founders break that dependency by strengthening leadership, systems, accountability, profit quality and predictable performance. The goal isn’t simply to build a bigger business. It’s to build a stronger, more transferable business that can continue to perform without you at the centre of everything. That gives you something most business owners originally started their company to achieve: choice. The choice to stay and grow it, step back from the day-to-day, or prepare the business for an eventual exit. I’m also the author of Your Business Sucks: Build a Business That Works Without Destroying Your Life and was inducted into the coaching Hall of Fame in 2013.
