Doug Mather’s
Build A Business That Works Workshop

Create clarity, confidence, and consistent results so your business supports the life you truly want

A workshop series of 3 in person half days 14:00 – 18:00 Mondays 16th & 23rd February and 2nd March 2026
taking place at Creo London, 9 Holborn, London EC1N 2LL

When your business works it’s wonderful

It’s fun, exciting and satisfying and it supports the life and lifestyle that you really want
You feel confident, in control and have plenty of time – you’re enjoying life!

But when it’s not, it can be hell

You get sucked into the daily whirlwind of trying to fix things
Uncertain about what and how to prioritise
Procrastinating and spinning your wheels
Having negative thoughts and feelings like
Self-doubt, stress, overwhelm, exhaustion, fear and resignation

And then what I call the World-Mind Conspiracy kicks in.
Something happens in the world – say a deal doesn’t come off – and your mind starts piling meaning on top of it,
and before you know it you’re immersed in “what ifs’, “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts”

Running a business shouldn’t feel like that
You deserve better

I know what it’s like, I’ve been there

I’m Doug Mather and during 5 decades in which I’ve
Built and led a £3m, 35-person, engineering business
Spent more than 30 years studying human behaviour
Gained a Postgrad Diploma in Psychology
Helped hundreds of business owners get their lives back
Developed my Acrastination® model to create consistent, sustainable success

I’ve learned that

It doesn’t have to be that way

The path to change is really simple

1. Attend the Build A Business That Works workshop
2. Create your personal plan
3. Execute with confidence

What You’ll Learn

Acrastination®: Doing What Matters, When it Matters

1. Clarity – set your direction:

  • Identify your core values and what really matters
  • Design a powerful long-term vision for your business and life
  • Set clear, confidence building, mid-term objectives
  • Create short-term “sprint” goals for immediate action
  • Make better, faster decisions to enable the results you want

2. Focus – Get and stay on track:

  • Clearly identify where best to place your attention
  • How intention and attention work together
  • Understand how your attention span works
  • Learn how to maintain focus even in the midst of the whirlwind
  • Prioritise what moves the needle and let go of the rest

3. Action – Execute your plans consistently for sustainable results

  • Turn clarity into focus; focus into action; and action into results
  • Automate your actions – develop simple habits that keep you moving forward
  • Understand procrastination and why it need never be a problem again
  • Learn how to quiet the internal “noise” that can stop you in your tracks
  • Discover why mediocre action taken consistently will always outperform great action taken occasionally

Imagine The Difference of A Business That Works

By applying the Acrastination® tools you will feel:

  • Clear and optimistic
  • Calm and in control
  • Focused and productive
  • Confident in your decision making
  • Aligned with your goals and values
  • Equipped to cause bigger, better and faster results

And your business will be more:

  • Predictable
  • Resilient
  • Enjoyable
  • Aigned with the life you really want
  • Consistently successful

It’s Time for Change

You’re too capable and work too hard to stay stuck in the same old cycle

And What About Your Team? Bring Them With You!

It’s not just business owners who feel the effects of the World–Mind Conspiracy.

Your team also suffer from
Stress, Uncertainty, Confusion, Decision Paralysis and the Daily Whirlwind,
slowing everything down

Create a Shared Framework for Success

When the whole team use the same tools, principles and shared language,
everything becomes easier, faster and more aligned.

Give your team the power of

  • Clarity, Focus, and Action tools
  • A common way of thinking and working
  • Improved daily operations through better decision making
  • Shared ownership of goals and priorities

Build Buy-In and Commitment

People commit more fully when they understand the big picture.
When your team can see the vision – and their part in it – they will act with more confidence, intention, and initiative.

This is how to Build A Team That Works the way you really want them to
A team that amplifies your efforts
