😤 When What Got You Here Won't Get You There
You're burning out trying to hold it all together. Sound familiar?
You're the Bottleneck
Every decision flows through you. Your team waits for approvals. Growth stalls because you can't be everywhere.
Revenue Plateau
You hit your first major milestone, then... nothing. The tactics that got you here aren't scaling.
Constant Firefighting
Your days are consumed by urgent issues. Strategic work gets pushed aside for the next crisis.
Team Chaos
Hiring feels random. People aren't clear on priorities. You're building a team, not a system.
💡 Here's the Truth:
Most business advice focuses on startups or late-stage companies. There's this brutal middle ground where founders get stuck - and that's exactly where we specialize.

👋 Hi, I'm Andrew - Your Guide Through Second-Stage Growth
I'm Andrew Halliburton, founder of Build Better Labs. I know exactly what it's like to work 80-hour weeks while business growth flatlines because I've been there - building my first agency from a college dorm room, hitting that painful second stage where what got me started wasn't enough to scale.
Over 12+ years, I've founded 4 companies and launched 48 products across industries from FinTech to HealthTech to IoT. Along the way, I learned that most business advice focuses on the startup phase or late-stage scaling - but there's this brutal middle ground where founders get stuck.
The Problem I Discovered
That's the stage where your initial momentum fades, you're firefighting daily, and you're working harder than ever but moving backwards. It's where good ideas go to die because founders don't know how to build systematic, scalable businesses around them.
My Breakthrough
The breakthrough came when I developed the XFramework™: a systematic approach to diagnosing and solving the core issues that keep businesses stuck in second-stage paralysis. Today, I use this framework to help other founders break through the same challenges I faced.
Whether through coaching, fractional leadership, or full execution partnerships, my goal is simple: help you build a business that grows without requiring your constant involvement.
