Founder reading

Your chart as a blueprint for your work

This one is for your work. It is for you if you run your own business, work for yourself, or are about to. It is just as useful if you want to change career and need to know which direction suits you.

We look at your chart as a blueprint for how you work best: the kind of offers and clients that suit you, how you’re built to sell and be visible, how you make sound decisions, where you lose energy, and the timing of the next few years. The reading is built around your business and the question that’s on your mind, so you leave with something you can use on Monday morning.

It opens with an overview of the four systems and your chart, so you can take it without the personal reading first. If the four systems are new to you, read The four systems, simply.

€650 · a live call of about 90 minutes and a written reading of around 40 pages. See sample pages.

Who it’s for

  • Coaches, consultants, therapists, freelancers and makers who are their own business

  • You’re starting out and want to build something that fits you from the first day

  • You’ve been going for years and something keeps costing you more than it should: selling, pricing, being visible, or doing everything alone

  • You’re about to leave a job and want to know what kind of work, and what way of working, suits you

What’s in your reading

  • Your business, in your own words. Where you are, what you offer, and the question you came with.

  • Your chart at a glance. The four systems, a paragraph each, and your essentials.

  • How you work. Your energy and when you work best, how you decide, your working gifts one by one, and a working week designed for the way you’re built.

  • Your offer and your clients. What you’re really selling, who it is for according to your chart, the shape of your offer, and how to say what you do.

  • Being found. How visibility works for you, the channels that suit you, words you can use, and what a month of it might look like.

  • Money. How money comes to you most naturally, how to set your prices and hold them, and what your current ten-year cycle means for earning.

  • People and capacity. How much you can carry, who helps, your boundaries with clients, and what to hand over.

  • Where the four systems agree about your work, and where they pull apart.

  • Timing. The next eighteen months, a business calendar month by month, and your working life decade by decade.

  • Your next ninety days. A plan in two-week steps, the decisions to take, what to stop doing, and questions to come back to in six months.

What you receive

  • A short form about your work and the question that’s on your mind

  • Your summary reading by email before the call, around 8 pages, with your chart in all four systems at a glance (if you’ve already asked for the free one, you have it)

  • A live call of about 90 minutes, online, where I walk you through everything and you ask whatever you like

  • Your full written reading as a PDF afterwards, around 40 pages, yours to keep and come back to

Questions people ask

Do I need the personal reading first? No. The founder reading opens with an overview of the four systems and your chart, so it stands on its own. Many people take both, because the two answer different questions.

I don’t have a business yet. Is it still for me? Yes. It is a good moment for it, because you can build something that fits you from the first day.

I don’t know my birth time. Can I still have a reading? Yes. Tell me what you know, even “in the morning”. Some parts of the reading need the exact time and I’ll tell you clearly which ones we can and can’t rely on.

Can I offer one to someone? Yes, with a gift voucher.

A reading is for personal insight. It does not replace medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.

What people say

“That is the most clarity I ever had! I felt frustrated that there are things ‘you ought to do in your business’ and I wasn’t able to be consistent with them. Now, I understand why. And more importantly, after the reading with Catherine, I know what to do instead. Now, I have a clear list of activities and how to do things that will help my business in a way that I will find a lot easier and more enjoyable.”
