Mostly A’s | The ROI Hawk
The Spreadsheet Maximalist in a Manual Dungeon
Profile:
DIY-til-I-die energy. Independent. Spreadsheet loyalist. Thinks marketing budgets are optional.
Why They Exist:
Because no one told them “marketing spend” isn’t a moral failure.
Where They Stall:
Wants ROI from ops but refuses to budget for it. Thinks “manual” is safer.
Pain Point:
Stuck in 2008, copy-pasting like it’s a lifestyle. Paralysed by perfection + budget caution = stagnation.
What They Need:
Low-effort, high-clarity structure that proves systems don’t mean selling your soul.
Wants:
No-nonsense support for the chaos club with commitment issues.
Herb: Vetiver
The root that drags you back to earth
Vetiver calms the hyper-logical brain that’s convinced feelings are inefficiencies.
Herbal vibe: Rooted. Earthy. Reconnects the brain to the body.
Mostly B’s | The Too-Busy Tech-Optimist
High-Functioning Chaos With a Zapier Dependency
Profile:
Overloaded consultant, solo strategist, addicted to tools, allergic to onboarding.
Why They Exist:
Systems are sexy. People are not.
Where They Stall:
Delegation bottlenecks. “I’m the only one who can do this” syndrome.
Pain Point:
Invisible limits. Calendar nightmares. Self-sabotage disguised as productivity.
What They Need:
A translator fluent in spreadsheet and breakdown.
Wants:
No more tools. Just someone to make the ones they have work.
Herb: Ashwagandha
The adaptogen for self-overloaded perfectionists
Supports the endocrine system that’s been held together with porridge and desperation.
Herbal vibe: Chill. Sustainable. The only thing more adaptive than their Zapier setup.
Mostly C’s | The Creative Catastrophist
The Chaos-Creative With Staff but No Structure
Profile:
Visionary. Idea fountain. Allergic to admin.
Bonus points if you’ve got a partner-shaped liability.
Why They Exist:
Because the people who dream big rarely love Asana.
Where They Stall:
Staffed up, but still doing £20 tasks and pretending it’s fine.
Pain Point:
Burnout dressed as innovation. No one set up the SOPs.
What They Need:
Gentle accountability and systems that don’t kill the buzz.
Wants:
Structure that respects their flutter-by brain.
Herb: Rosemary
For mental clarity, memory, and cleaning up creative chaos
Rosemary has the crispness to cut through the fog of idea spirals.
Herbal vibe: Sharp, fragrant, loyal. Just like the visionary they are.
Mostly D’s | The Phantom Co-Founder
Emotionally Checked Out, Technically Still Employed
Profile:
Avoids conflict via Slack silence. Wistfully dreams of relocating.
Why They Exist:
One co-founder’s dragging the ship. The other’s pretending they’re not burned out.
Where They Stall:
Avoidance. Indecision. Muted Zoom mics.
Pain Point:
Unequal workload and unspoken resentment.
What They Need:
A calm third party to steer before someone rage-deletes the Dropbox.
Wants:
Honestly? To disappear. But responsibly.
Herb: Agrimony
The “smiling through gritted teeth” flower
Agrimony is for people who perform “fine” while actively dissociating.
Herbal vibe: Hidden conflict, masked tension, helps clear away the issues surrounding them.
Mostly E’s | The Recovering Overachiever
The Burnt-Out Functional Genius
Profile:
Post-burnout. Reflective. Deeply tired. Still very good at what they do.
Why They Exist:
Because they thought “being capable” meant “doing it all.”
Where They Stall:
Recovery mode. Distrustful of solutions, allergic to fluff.
Pain Point:
Cynical. Low energy. Internal screaming, but make it chic.
What They Need:
Honest, low-pressure systems from someone who gets it.
Wants:
To be left alone… but also helped.
Herb: Reishi Mushroom
For post-burnout ghosts who used to slay corporate dragons for breakfast.
Reishi isn’t technically an herb, but let’s not get botanical here
Herbal vibe: Grows on dead wood. Which, honestly… same.
Or just sit with the existential truth of it all. That’s also valid.
So… now what?
Got your result? Want to do something about it?
Or just sit with the existential truth of it all. That’s also valid.
