The Innovators Wheel 

Build a Purpose-Driven Service Business

Transform Adversity into Agency for Your Business

Service business owners, consultants, coaches, creatives, and healthpreneurs face universal challenges: standing out in a crowded market, retaining clients, and avoiding burnout.

Many struggle to align their vision with scalable systems, risking disconnection or stagnation.

The Innovators Wheel is your guide to building a thriving service business by combining the structure of a living business, its anatomy and physiology, with the power of purposeful storytelling.

As Kate Markland, Story Architect, I use my neuroscience-backed StoryQuest™ framework to help you craft a business that motivates your team, connects with clients, and fulfills your purpose.

What You’ll Discover Inside

The Innovators Wheel reimagines your business as a living organism, with a clear structure (anatomy: systems, processes) and dynamic function (physiology: operations, relationships).

By weaving the stories of you (the owner), your team, and your clients, it creates motivation, connection, and purpose. Drawing on my experience building four award-winning clinics (impacting 5,000+ lives) and coaching service business owners, this book simplifies complex concepts to help you:

  • Define Your Why: Uncover your business’s purpose to drive resilience and growth, rooted in your personal story.

  • Know Your Clients: Identify your ideal clients’ needs and desires, crafting a business that serves and inspires them.

  • Craft Compelling Offers: Design services, coaching, consulting, or workshops, that resonate and boosting engagement.

  • Amplify Your Story: Use storytelling, 22x more memorable (Stanford, 2019), to stand out in a noisy market.

  • Build Team Connection: Inspire motivation and collaboration, reducing burnout.

  • Triage Risks: Strengthen your business’s foundation to navigate market shifts and prevent instability.

  • Master Finances: Optimise pricing, planning, and metrics for profitability, aligning form with function.
