Think Like a Board, Not a Bottleneck

You Don’t Need Another Operator. You Need Clarity.

Board-level decision architecture for 7- & 8-figure founders.

From the desk of Frankie Lee
Dubai, UAE - 8th October 2025


Dear founder,

I get it.

Building a real company is hard. Really hard.

You wake up, open Slack, and there are ten fires before coffee.
Revenue’s up. Headcount’s up. Your calendar is Tetris.
And yet it feels like you’re one weird week away from the whole machine wobbling.

From the outside you look unstoppable.
On the inside you’re running on fumes.

If that’s you, this letter is for you.

You can be grateful for what you built and still redesign it to be livable. That’s not quitting - it’s graduating.

The uncomfortable truth nobody tells you


You don’t have an operations problem.
You don’t have a team problem.
You have a clarity problem.

You’re still making calls like the scrappy founder who built this… not the board-level CEO who should be running it now.

So you throw software at the chaos. You hire an agency. You add another “must-do” playbook.

But clarity isn’t something you can outsource. Clarity is altitude. Lose it, and everything feels heavier than it should.

Meanwhile, the questions loop:

  • “Do we launch another offer or prune what we’ve got?”
  • “Hire more… or simplify and raise standards?”
  • “Why does growth feel harder, not easier?”

Your real fear isn’t failure - it’s collapse. Two weeks off shouldn’t threaten your livelihood or your relevance.

This isn’t about grinding harder. It’s about thinking higher and making fewer, cleaner decisions that carry 10× the impact.

Leverage8 - The Clarity Board™


Private, fractional board advisory for 7- & 8-figure founders

Eight weeks. Private. High-touch.
You and me - no fluff, no busywork. I act as your private board and strategic partner so every decision compounds.

What we rebuild together

  • Strategic Clarity - exactly what moves the business in the next 12 months (and what’s noise).
  • Decision Architecture - the mental model that turns chaos into clean, confident choices.
  • Founder Alignment - boundaries, energy, and authority so you lead from calm precision again.
  • Controlled Delegation - handoffs that stick, with decision rules your team can actually use.

This isn’t a course. It isn’t life coaching.

It’s a board-level engagement designed to make your next moves inevitable.

What happens when clarity returns


Founders who complete Leverage8 typically:

  • Cut 30-40% of their workload without touching revenue.
  • Replace reactive firefighting with a weekly operating cadence that compounds.
  • Stop oscillating between burnout and bravado and start leading from calm precision.
  • Watch teams relax, projects ship, and margin expand - because the signal is louder than the noise.
  • Delivery stabilizes, client LTV lifts, and media spend buys time - not fires.

I’ve worked behind the scenes with founders scaling from $1M to $50M+. The pattern repeats: When the founder gets clear, the whole company aligns.

Meetings shrink. Decisions speed up. Profit climbs.

Getting clarity on one key decision - pricing, offer mix, or hiring sequence - can conservatively add hundreds of thousands of pounds in the next 12 months.

In practice, founders see: higher effective hourly value, fewer moving parts, cleaner margins, and the ability to step away without the machine wobbling.

How the 8 weeks run (simple and surgical)


Format: 1:1 private board advisory.


Weeks 1-2 - Deep Diagnostic
We map true constraints across model, people, economics, and your operating rhythm.


Weeks 3-6 - Strategic Redesign
Sharpen vision and priorities, tune pricing and offer mix, set operating cadence, and install decision rules.

Weeks 7-8 - Implementation Oversight + Leadership Recalibration
Tight feedback loops as you execute. We refine, remove friction, and lock in the new cadence.


Afterwards, many founders continue on a light-touch Board Advisory Retainer for ongoing governance and decision support.

Who this is for


  • Founders doing $1M-$15M+ with lean teams
  • Burned by “implementation gurus” or agency roulette
  • Successful but foggy; hungry for the next level without more chaos
  • People who say, “I don’t need a coach. I need someone who gets it.”

I’m not a coach. I’m the exoskeleton around your decision-making - structure without spreadsheets, strategy without overwhelm, accountability without hand-holding.

Why me (in one breath)


I built ContentRemoval.com into a 7-figure company and advise major brands, celebrities, and entrepreneurs.

I’ve hosted 250+ long-form conversations with elite operators - distilling their playbooks into practical, board-level clarity you can plug straight into your business.

My gift isn’t doing the work for you; it’s making your next right move obvious - and the wrong ones impossible to justify.

What you get (and what you don’t)


You get:

  • Weekly 60-minute board sessions (8 total)
  • Priority async line (24-48h response) for decisions between sessions
  • A lighter mental load and a business that runs on precision, not pressure

You don’t get:

  • Project management, hiring, or implementation work
  • A bloated “playbook” or 97-step checklist
  • Another person to manage


This is board-level partnership. Few, vital moves. No noise.

If a single decision we make together doesn’t pay for itself, we’ve both missed the mark.

My aim is that you feel the lift in week one - less noise, cleaner moves, compounding momentum.


If previous “systems” added tasks to your plate, this will feel like the opposite: subtraction first, then scale.

Frequently asked (and answered)


“Will you work with my team?”
I’ll meet select leaders to remove friction, but my focus is you. When you get clear, your team gets effective.

“Can we squeeze this into four weeks?”
If you want surface-level advice, sure. If you want durable clarity, eight weeks is the minimum viable arc.

“What if I’m already drowning?”
Perfect. We start by stopping. We cut what doesn’t compound, then rebuild your decision cadence.

“How soon will I feel the shift?”
Most founders feel relief in the first two sessions. Your calendar - and blood pressure - will show it.

Your next move


If success feels heavy, don’t burn it down. Step back.

P.S. If you’re a 7- or 8-figure founder who looks unstoppable from the outside but secretly lives in success fatigue - decision overload, control addiction, fear that two weeks off would trigger collapse - this was written for you. You don’t need another operator. You need clarity. In eight weeks, we’ll cut the non-compounding work, install decision architecture, and give you back the altitude to lead with calm precision.

Getting clarity on one key decision can be worth hundreds of thousands to millions of pounds over the next year - often more.

If you’re ready to stop being the bottleneck and start thinking like a board, apply now and let’s bring your clarity back online.
