MudLabs gives you two things most programs ignore: a clear plan to get paying customers, and a dedicated advisor who makes sure you don't burn out building it. We call it your Founder OS.
The only program with parallel tracks
Most business programs hand you a plan and say "go." They teach you how to find customers, how to pitch, how to grow.
But nobody asks: are you okay? Can you keep this up? What happens to your business when you hit a wall?
The truth is: your business is not your identity, but your health as the founder determines your success. When you burn out, lose focus, or start making decisions from exhaustion instead of clarity—everything falls apart.
The Reality
65% of new businesses fail because of people problems—burnout, conflict, losing your sense of direction—not because the idea was bad.
New businesses fail from burnout and people problems
Time most programs spend on the emotional health of the person doing all the work
Business success depends on the person behind it being healthy enough to keep going
The founder breaks before the business does. If you don't protect founder health, you're building on a crumbling foundation.
MudLabs is the only program that spends equal time on your business plan and on you—because one can't survive without the other.

Staying Healthy as Things Get Hard
Weekly check-ins that catch burnout before it catches you
MudLabs treats your business strategy and your personal health as equally important—because if you break down, everything you're building breaks with you. We call this your Founder OS.

We offer flexible payment options and can discuss custom arrangements for founders in unique situations. Reach out after your assessment.
We've seen too many talented people burn out, lose themselves, or quit—not because their ideas were bad, but because no one helped them sustain the journey.
Most business programs push you to grow fast, pitch investors, and chase numbers—but they ignore what it costs you personally.
Coaches offer emotional support and mindset work—but they don't help you build a business plan you can actually execute.
The result? People who are either burned out with a "successful" business, or feeling great but struggling to get traction.
You don't have to choose between building a successful business and protecting your health. You need both—systematically.
Building a real business takes a clear plan and the discipline to follow it
Staying healthy takes self-awareness, resilience, and people who have your back
Both matter equally—and neither can be an afterthought
We help you build a complete plan: who you serve, how you reach them, and a weekly rhythm that turns ideas into paying customers—based on real evidence, not guesswork.
We help you understand your stress patterns, what drives you under pressure, and who supports you—then build habits that keep you healthy as the demands grow.
Someone who checks in every week, challenges your thinking, and makes sure you're making progress without running yourself into the ground.
MudLabs exists because you deserve a program that helps you build a great business and stay healthy doing it.
