Free Virtual Workshop for Australian Business Owners

This Workshop Is For You If…

  • Every decision still comes back to you.
  • Your business is growing—but your calendar and to-do list are more hectic than ever.
  • You feel like your team relies on you more than you’d like.
  • You know you need help, but you’re unsure who to hire next.
  • You’re looking for a smarter way to grow without adding more complexity.
  • You want more personal freedom without sacrificing business growth.

During this free workshop, you’ll learn how to:

  • Understand why some businesses become increasingly dependent on the founder while others create more freedom.
  • Identify the operational bottlenecks that quietly limit your business growth.
  • Build a business that creates genuine capacity instead of simply adding more people.

Most founders think hiring is the problem.

It’s not.

After helping more than 2,000 business owners in Australia, the US, New Zealand and Canada over the past 11 years, we’ve found that the real challenge isn’t lack of people. It’s founder dependency.

As businesses grow, it’s easy for every decision, approval, and problem to land back on the founder’s desk, making the business increasingly reliant on the very person trying to have more freedom.

The result isn’t just a busier calendar. It becomes harder to think strategically, harder to step away, and harder to build the business you originally set out to create.

That’s the cycle we’ll unpack in this workshop, along with the principles behind the 5D Freedom Staffing System™—a practical framework for building a business that creates more capacity.

Meet Linh Podetti

15 years ago, I became an entrepreneur because I wanted more freedom. Instead, I found myself with a business that still depended on me for almost every decision.

That experience changed the way I think about growth and led to the creation of the 5D Freedom Staffing System™.

Since then, we’ve helped more than 2,000 business owners build stronger teams, create genuine capacity, and reduce founder dependency.

Today, I have time to spend with my family, the freedom to travel, and a business that no longer relies on me to keep moving every day. That’s the journey I hope to help you begin in this workshop.

“Kathleen has been with me for four years and runs both my personal and business life. I could not achieve what I do without her help. She has even come to Australia for our team days and the team members love her. I say to people, everybody needs a Kathleen.”

    Founder, Co.Lab Space, Sydney, Australia

“We could try to do it all, but our time is much better spent on income-producing activities which is how a virtual assistant can help us. I just came back from a 2-week holiday and [on social media] it looked like I was working, but I wasn’t! Because I was able to duplicate myself.”

“I really wasn’t doing what I should be doing in terms of developing the business. I found a lot of my time was actually spent doing administrative work, and I reached out to Linh, and she was terrific in guiding me through the process. I just can’t speak highly enough about it.”

“The biggest impact is I don’t have to worry. I don’t have to worry about the back office, in terms of managing and hiring. So I just sort of rock up, interview the people, and also just training the staff so [Outsourcing Angel] takes care of it, I think that’s the biggest bonus of all things.”

    Sandra Gallicchio
    Director, Pillar Bookkeeping Services Pty Ltd, Melbourne, Australia

I was working really late, burnt out, doing a lot of the repetitive bookkeeping, admin tasks, finding new clients…I realised that was when I needed help. My senior bookkeeper has just been amazing. I’ve been able to go away on holidays. Yes, I still bring my laptop, but I only have to check it for an hour, probably. If I didn’t have her, I wouldn’t know what to do. I rely on her now.
