ABOUT YOU

HOW LONG HAS THE BUSINESS OPERATED FOR?

HOW MANY STAFF ON YOUR TEAM (INCLUDING YOU)?

WHAT'S YOUR CURRENT ANNUAL REVENUE (APPROXIMATE IS FINE)?

This is a tool to help you see what’s working in your business and where your biggest opportunities for improvement are.

You’ll see a series of statements that reflect common business patterns. For each one, score it from 1 to 10 based on how true it feels right now.

1 means this isn’t something you’re dealing with.
10 means it’s showing up regularly and needs attention.

There’s no perfect score. Just answer honestly based on where things are today, not where you want them to be.

Your answers will generate a personalised report with practical insight you can use straight away.

The more accurate your input, the more valuable the output.

Take a minute, slow down, and give each question a proper score. It’s a quick step that’ll give you clarity on where to focus next.

You spend your day bouncing between tasks, emails, sales, and team issues, then finish overwhelmed by how much is still undone.

You regularly catch yourself thinking, “It’s just quicker / better if I do it myself.”

You can’t take time away from the business without worrying something important will slip through the cracks.

You feel mentally drained from juggling deadlines, decisions, client issues, and staff questions all at once.

One or two team members hold critical knowledge or relationships. If they leave tomorrow, you’re unsure how the business will cope.

You often can’t decide without checking with someone else first.

You feel as if key staff are holding you hostage. Not by intention, but because no one else can perform their tasks.

You’ve delayed making changes or growing certain areas of the business because you’re afraid of overloading the people you rely on most.

Some months, your financial results look great; others drop off, and you're not always sure why.

You work hard every month, but the results don’t match the effort and you’re not sure why.

You often wait until the end of the month to “see how things landed” before making key decisions.

You avoid planning too far ahead because your profits aren’t reliable.

You sometimes delay paying yourself, or suppliers, not because the business isn’t profitable but because the cash isn’t there yet.

You feel nervous making everyday decisions like hiring or paying bills so you check the bank account often.

You’ve made short-term calls just to get through the month even when you know they hurt long-term.

Financial stress still weighs on you even when things look successful.

You often win work by being the cheapest, not necessarily because you’re the best option.

You’ve lost potential clients who said, “We really like you, but we found someone cheaper.”

You struggle to defend your pricing when prospects push back.

You feel like you’re working just as hard as others in your industry but not making as much profit because you’ve had to keep your prices low.

You don’t have a steady flow of new enquiries; most leads come from referrals or repeat clients.

When a potential job falls through, panic sets in because there aren’t many other leads in the pipeline.

You feel pressure to say yes to work, which you’d typically avoid to keep things moving.

You spend more time hoping for work than confidently forecasting it.

You’ve been running hard to stay in the same place revenue or client numbers haven’t meaningfully changed in months (or years).

You’re putting in effort, but the business is treading water instead of moving forward.

You feel like growth is happening to other businesses and you’re missing something they’ve figured out.

You’re unsure what to try next nothing seems to create a meaningful, sustained lift in results.

You’re not getting the referrals or glowing testimonials you expected even from jobs you thought went well.

You sense your team is focused on getting things done rather than getting things right.

You hesitate to ask clients how they’re feeling in case the answer isn’t great.

You’ve had more complaints, negative feedback, or rework than you’d like to admit and it stings because you care.
