See How Your Business Holds Up as It Grows

A clear look at what’s holding together and what’s starting to strain.

Expansion Readiness Assessment

Most business owners don’t struggle because they’re doing things wrong.
They struggle because the business has outgrown how it’s set up to run.

As businesses grow, pressure increases with more decisions, more people, and more moving parts. What worked before can quietly (or not so quietly) start working against you. This assessment is designed to help you step back and see how your business is actually holding up under that pressure.

This isn’t about grading your performance. It’s about understanding whether your business can expand without putting more weight on you.

Instructions:

This assessment takes about 5 minutes to complete.

There are no right or wrong answers, so answer honestly based on your real experience, not how you think things should work. Your answers will help us identify patterns that reveal the risks associated with expanding your business.

Upon completion, you will receive a personalized Expansion Readiness Summary, a diagnostic snapshot of how your business is currently operating, and how continued growth is likely to impact the business if nothing changes.

You're All Set

Thank you for taking the time to complete the Assessment. Your Expansion Readiness Summary will be emailed to you within the next 24 hours and will provide a clear snapshot of how your business is currently operating and what continued growth is likely to create if nothing changes. Most business owners don’t slow down long enough to look at how their business is actually holding up as it grows. So, for now, take a moment to sit with what you noticed while completing the assessment. That awareness is part of the work.
