ATTENTION: overwhelmed small business owners

Build the structure that sets you free.

Ready to step out of the day-to-day grind and reclaim your time?

Structure gives you freedom. The Self-Sustaining Business Blueprint helps small business owners find clarity, control, and calm, while keeping what makes your business unique.

Choose the format that fits you best:

  • Weekly Online Program: Steady accountability, document a new system each week - 12 week minimum.

  • 2-Day Intensive: Fast track, hands-on, immersive. Leave with your systems documented in just two days.

Why stay stuck in the weeds?

Most small businesses run on instinct, not systems. That works ... until it doesn't.

  • Everything runs through you

  • Delegation feels risky

  • Documentation lives in your head

  • Growth is happening, but the back-end hasn't caugh up

  • You're proud of what you've built, but know it could run smoother

You don't need to start from scratch. You just need structure that fits.

What will change when you have supportive systems?

You'll have:

  • More time to lead, plan, or take a well-earned break

  • Confidence that nothing important will fall through the cracks

  • Clarity on how things get done, without micromanaging

  • A business that's easier to trust, easier to grow, and easier to step away from

Curious where you stand right now?

Take the Business Freedom Scorecard to see exactly how your business is tracking.

This quick self-assessment will help you pinpoint your strengths, spot the areas that need attention, and get a clear sense of what to focus on next.

Most owners are surprised by what they discover. The Scorecard is a practical first step to understanding where you are on the journey to a business that runs smoothly, even when you step away.

Still the bottleneck in your own business?

Even when things are running well on the surface, you might still recognise these famililar frustrations:

Every critical decision still runs through you - even the small stuff

If you step away for a week, things slow down or fall apart

Your team waits for your answers, instead of driving things themselves

Growth feels risky, because it just means more things depending on you

If this sounds familiar, you're not alone - and you don't have to stay stuck here. The Self-Sustaining Business Blueprint is designed to break this cycle for small business owners.

Ready to break through and build a business that works - whether you're there or not?

Our Blueprint isn't theory or wishful thinking. It's a step-by-step system built for busy small business owners, with hands-on support, proven frameworks, and real accountability at every stage. Whether you choose the ongoing weekly group or a focused, two-day intensive, you'll be surrounded by expert guidance and a community of people just like you - so you can finally stop being the bottleneck, and start leading with clarity.

Gaining clarity validated why I put off stepping back in - now, with smart systems, I can focus on the things that matter.

What is the Self-Sustaining Business Blueprint?

Watch this quick intro to see how our blueprint gives small business owners a clear, practical way to finally step away from daily firefighting.

How it works: three simple steps

No more overwhelm. Just a proven journey, taken one step at a time.

Choose your program

Pick the format that fits your pace and learning style.

Secure your spot

Register and get ready for practical, guided implementation.

Start your journey

Walk out with systems that work for you, not just on paper.

Whether you're working solo or have a team beside you, these steps build a business that's ready for growth, change - and real freedom.

What makes this different?

This isn't a course you set and forget.

The Self-Sustaining Business Blueprint is a guided implementation journey - whether you join our ongoing weekly program or dive into the two-day Intensive.

We work side by side to help you build, refine, and roll out real systems - inside your business, whether that's just you or a growing team, and always at a pace that fits your schedule.

You'll get support, structure, and step-by-step direction to make sure you don't just learn - you actually implement.

Each block builds on the last, giving you space to think, document, test, and adapt what works for your business.

Here's what to expect:

  • Hands-on help mapping your Critical 10 - right where you're stuck

  • Practical templates, resources, and examples you can actually use

  • Real accountability, so systems get finished (not forgotten)

  • Access to community, feedback, and coaching throughout

  • Flexibility to fit your journey - whether you learn best step-by-step or blitz things in a focused sprint

Delegation used to paralyze me; a hard day meant a thousand tasks I ‘had to do.’ SSB laid out a step-by-step system and showed me I was further than I realised. Gold for solo founders - it gets everything out of your head and moves you forward.

I knew I needed a team to manage the growth, but I had nothing in place to bring someone in. I couldn’t tell my clients that systems prevent hassle and then not practice it myself. Joining SSB was about building the structure before the cracks became failures.

Portrait of Justeen Kirk

Hi, I'm Justeen

I'm the Founder of ISO Matters and creator of the Self-Sustaining Business Blueprint.

I’ve spent years working with small business owners who feel trapped in their own success — constantly busy, constantly needed, and unable to step back without things falling apart.

I created the Blueprint to give you what most courses don't: a clear path, kind accountability, and practical tools that fit the way you actually work.

I’ve combined the best-practice principles of ISO standards with years of hands-on experience supporting small businesses to create practical processes that help owners gain the clarity, confidence, and control they need to build a self-sustaining business — one where they can choose how and when they show up.


If your business feels like it's running you, let's change that.
