The Cadence Method:
The Business Audit
Built a Seven-Figure Business?
Now It's Time to See - And Lead - with Clarity
You've built something real - but you feel the strain. Growth has slowed. The business leans too heavily on you. And the freedom, wealth, and impact you envisioned feel just out of reach.
You're not looking for a quick fix.
You're ready to become the leader your future business needs - and to build something that lasts.
Through The Cadence Method: The Business Audit, you'll gain the clarity, insights, and direction to realign your leadership and redesign your business into a scalable asset - one that grows value, creates wealth, and builds legacy - without depending on you to do it all.
Feeling Stretched Thin - and Ready for Real Answers?
✓ You're proud of what you've built, but deep down you know - something’s off.
✓ Your business generates revenue, but it's no longer generating energy or excitement.
✓ You feel trapped in the day-to-day, making it up as you go - instead of building by design.
✓ Growth has plateaued, but you can’t seem to find the "next gear."
✓ Your vision feels blurry. Your brand feels disconnected. Your culture feels transactional.
✓ You’ve tried hiring, outsourcing, even reading every "business strategy" book you could find - but nothing sticks.
✓ You're stretched thin - at work and at home - and wondering if this is just "the price of success."
✓ You know you were meant for more - but you're not sure how to find your way back.
If you answered YES to the above, let me show you another way.
You don't need to work harder.
You need to work deeper.
In Just One Month, Lead With Clarity, Energy, and Purpose
Picture this:
Just a few weeks after The Business Audit, you wake up feeling lighter, clearer, and more energised.
You have a powerful new lens to view your business through - one that's grounded in clarity, direction, and purpose.
You’re no longer guessing what’s wrong or spinning your wheels trying to fix symptoms. You know exactly where to focus, what to prioritise, and what to let go of.
Your leadership feels aligned. Your vision feels alive again. And your business feels like it's finally moving in the direction you always imagined.
You’re not just surviving the day-to-day.
You’re leading the future you were meant to build.
You're Not Broken. You've Outgrown the Way You're Leading
You're not broken. You're not "bad at business." And you're not alone.
The truth is, you've outgrown the way you're operating.
The systems, habits, and mindsets that got you here are not the ones that will take you where you want to go.
You’ve probably tried patching the symptoms:
✓ New hires
✓ New marketing agencies
✓ New software
✓ New morning routines
But without deeper insight - without truly understanding where your business is aligned and where it's misfiring - those are just surface-level fixes.
The Cadence Method: The Business Audit helps you uncover the root causes. It gives you clarity, not just more noise. A clear map of what's working, what's missing, and where your greatest opportunities lie.
Because you're not looking for another quick fix.
You're ready for deep insight - the kind that leads to real change.
From Scaling Companies to Empowering Leaders: Why I Built The Cadence Method
My name is Liz McMillan.
I'm a Business Strategist, two-time CEO, and the creator of The Cadence Method - a transformative framework designed to help scaling business owners, CEOs, and COOs shift from overwhelmed operator to strategic CEO while redesigning their business into a scalable, wealth-creating, legacy-driven asset.
Over the past two decades, I've spent more than 35,000 hours analysing, shaping, building, and scaling high-growth companies across the US and Australia. From Analyst to Senior Vice President of Corporate Development. From leading bootstrapped startups to executing 8- and 9-figure exits.
I've been where you are. I’ve felt the weight. I’ve lived the "successful outside, stuck inside" story.
And I know - there's another way.
That's why I built The Cadence Method.
To help you reclaim the energy, clarity, and momentum your business - and your life - deserve.
If You're Here, You’re Ready to Lead With Courage and Truth
It tells me something.
It tells me you're ready for real answers.
Ready to stop guessing and finally see clearly what’s truly holding your business back.
Ready to look honestly and bravely at what’s working, what’s not, and what must change - without the noise, without the excuses, without the sugarcoating.
Ready to lead with truth, not hope.
Because clarity is power.
When business owners and leaders face reality with courage, they don't just build stronger businesses - they build stronger futures.
Stronger families. Stronger communities.
And it all starts with seeing clearly.
Clarity Can’t Wait. Your Next Chapter Starts With Seeing Clearly
Because if you don't...
✗ You'll keep feeling stuck without clear answers.
✗ You'll stay trapped in a cycle of reacting instead of leading.
✗ You'll keep solving surface problems instead of the real ones.
✗ You'll miss the critical insights that could unlock your next level of growth.
When you invest in The Cadence Method: The Business Audit, you invest in clarity.
You invest in a true understanding of what's driving your business forward - and what's holding it back.
You invest in better decisions, stronger leadership, and a smarter, more sustainable path forward.
It’s time to stop guessing.
It’s time to get clear.
And it starts now.

The Business Audit
One Day. Five Pillars. Clear Direction
The Cadence Method: The Business Audit isn’t just another workshop.
It’s a one-day, high-impact experience designed to deliver clarity, insight, and strategic direction.
Here’s how it works:
In a focused one-day session (delivered either in person or via Zoom), you’ll be guided through a powerful introspective process.
We’ll work through a structured set of 140 thought-provoking questions mapped across the five value creation pillars:
As we go, we’ll uncover what’s working, what’s missing, and where your biggest opportunities for strategic improvement lie.
At the end of the session, you’ll walk away with:
✓ Five detailed SWOT analyses across the five key value creation pillars of your business.
✓ A focused list of quick wins and critical issues, with clear next steps you can action immediately.
✓ Deep insights into where to prioritise your time, energy, and investment.
✓ A renewed connection to the future you want to build.
No fluff. No overwhelm. Just clarity, direction, and the next steps forward.
Why This Audit Is Different - and Why It Changes Everything.
For years, I led companies through massive transformations - scaling teams, building systems, creating real, transferrable value.
But even when the businesses thrived, I was often the one disappearing behind the scenes - holding it all together at work, at home, and in life.
Until everything collapsed.
I reached a breaking point - and chose to walk away from the life I had built for everyone else, to create something new.
The Cadence Method was born from that experience.
Not just from the wins, but from the hard lessons. From the realisations that sustainable success doesn’t come from hustle. It comes from alignment.
Today, The Business Audit reflects all of that lived wisdom:
✓ It’s not about surface-level fixes. It’s about foundational clarity.
✓ It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what matters most.
✓ It’s not about fitting your business into someone else’s model. It’s about building a business that fits you - and the life you want to live.
When you experience The Business Audit, you’re not getting a cookie-cutter template.
You’re getting a tailored mirror: a clear reflection of where you are, where you’re strong, where you’re stuck, and where your real future lies.
If You Don't Step Back Now, You Risk Building a
Business You Don’t Even Want
Let’s get real for a second:
You didn’t build this business just to survive it.
You didn’t pour years of your life into it just to feel stuck inside it.
You built it to create something bigger - something lasting.
But without stepping back to see the full picture - without real clarity - you risk getting pulled deeper into the noise.
✓ You’ll keep making short-term decisions that undermine long-term value.
✓ You’ll stay trapped in the busyness instead of stepping into strategic leadership.
✓ You’ll watch opportunities pass you by - not because you’re not capable, but because you’re not clear.
And the scariest part?
You risk waking up 5 or 10 years from now...realising you built a business you don’t even want anymore.
That’s not your story.
Not if you choose clarity now.

Outcome:A practical, focused view of where you’re winning and where you're exposed.

Still Wondering If This Is Right For You? Let’s Get Real
