Calling All Small Business Owners...
Let’s Find Out Where You’re Losing Time, Money, and Energy
Busy established entrepreneurs miss hidden leaks. This free 2 minute Friction Finder survey shows what’s draining your time, money, and energy.
You Wanted Freedom. Why Does It Still Feel So Hard?
You built your business to have more control. So why does it feel like everything’s running you instead?
Late nights. Bottlenecks. Constantly managing moving parts.
Your business is growing...but so is the friction and admin.
You’ve got a great product. Smart people. Strong intentions.
And still... things don’t flow like they should.
Sometimes, it gets so overwhelming you consider hiring someone—not to grow, but just to survive the week. Just to stop the bleeding.
What you’re really losing isn’t just energy.
It’s time.
Quietly, hour by hour—lost to rework, miscommunication, and tasks that feel heavier than they should.
Time that’s costing you money.
Time that’s creating stress.
Time you can’t afford to keep wasting.
At some point, every small business owner asks:
“Why does this still feel so hard?”
It’s not you.
It’s not your team.
It’s the way everything connects (or doesn’t).
The Real Cost of Staying Stuck
If you're losing even 90 minutes a day to messy systems or repeated tasks, that's around 30 hours every month.
Value your time at just $100/hour?
That’s $3,000/month in lost time—not including the stress and missed opportunities.
You don’t need to work harder.
You just need to fix what’s quietly slowing you down.
At Thinking in Frameworks , we help service-based businesses save time, save money, and reduce operational headaches by installing simple, invisible frameworks that bring clarity and flow to how you work.
We don’t add more to your plate.
We reduce the noise.
We refine what’s already there, remove the chaos, and simply install frameworks that make sense for how you actually run your business—so you can do more with less confusion and fewer decisions.
Most business owners we work with say the same thing:
“I just want things to work how they’re supposed to... without fixing something every day.”
We get it.
We’ve helped over 35 businesses simplify and grow—not by giving them more to manage, but by giving them back control.
You Started for Freedom. Let’s Get You Back There
And it all starts with a short survey.
We call it the Friction Finder—and it takes just 2 minutes.
You’ll walk away with:
- A snapshot of where your time and energy are quietly leaking
- A clearer sense of what’s creating stress in your daily flow
- And whether a framework could simplify things (without disrupting what’s already working).
No pressure. Just clarity.
You started this business for freedom, focus, and control.
Not to keep fixing the same broken process over and over again.
Let’s get you back to that.
Start with the Friction Finder survey.
It might be the simplest step you take all year.

Hi, I’m Ben Stützner.
I’m a South African–German entrepreneur at the intersection of systems thinking and lifestyle design. I help founders, freelancers, and part-time entrepreneurs build flexible businesses using simple frameworks that reduce time, cost, and overwhelm.
After working with over 35 businesses, I’ve seen how the right structure can transform chaos into clarity — and create space for the kind of life you actually want to live.
But I’ve been on the other side too. I’ve juggled startups, solo projects, and multiple gigs at once — chasing freedom but running into burnout. That’s why I became obsessed with building calm, life-first systems that grow sustainably.
If you're an experienced entrepreneur or small business owner looking to simplify operations, reclaim your time, and grow simply — this is the space where clarity meets freedom.
