Most owner-led firms are never designed. They grow around one person's calendar, the referrals that happen to land, and whatever delivery the founder can still hold — so when growth stalls, the money goes to the only place the stall is visible. Beyond Limits applies engineering discipline at the scale of a firm one person still carries.
The method
Each move is carried by named frameworks, and each one produces something you can put on a wall.
Draw the whole practice as one structure and locate the branch that actually carries the load. Mining and infrastructure cured themselves of changing live circuits without a drawing decades ago.
Instrument the loaded branches. A small set of readings taken on a schedule, so every move gets a verdict instead of an opinion.
Run the proposed change against the model before the money leaves. Trial runs on paper cost a marker pen; trial runs in production cost the quarter.
Install the operating rhythm. Constraints move, so a diagnosis is a snapshot — the rhythm keeps the current constraint visible as it shifts.
Where to get it
Australian links. Outside Australia, the same ASINs work on your local Amazon store.
290 pages, 6×9. Twelve chapters, six named frameworks, a ninety-day build sequence set out week by week, and a field guide that compresses the method for the desk.
Buy the paperback →The same book, readable tonight. No DRM, so it opens on whatever you already read on.
Buy the Kindle edition →Before you buy it
The diagnostic the book is built on is free and takes about three minutes. If it tells you nothing you did not already know, you do not need the book.
The diagnostic the book is built on. Three minutes, no email, and it tells you which branch is carrying the load before you spend anything on the one that is loudest.
Run the diagnostic →The book is the method written down. Growth advisory is the same method run with you — strategy, delivery, cash and automation installed as one operating system.
Explore growth advisory →A practice that has never been drawn cannot be diagnosed.
The first edition promised a doubling in ninety days. This edition keeps the ninety days and retires the guarantee — because a book that promises every reader the same multiple has already told you it is not doing diagnosis.
What it offers instead is the sequence, six named frameworks, and an honest account of what AI actually changes inside an owner-led firm, and what it does not.
