Before we meet

Before we meet

A few questions before we sit down

This takes about two minutes. It is not a test and there is no score to chase. It tells me where your business actually sits before we meet, so we spend our time on your situation instead of me asking questions I could have asked in advance.

How many people are in the business, including you?

Everyone on the payroll, full time equivalent. Count a steady sub-trade you rely on week in and week out. Your best estimate is fine.

Name, email and a number of people, please.

Before we meet

Two questions, then you are done

Which of these are you feeling right now?

Tick every one that is true. Tick none if none of them are. There is no right answer here and nothing is scored against you.

And where are these three at?

Answer how it really is on a normal week, not how you would like it to be.

In your own words, what is the biggest thing getting in the way right now?

One or two lines is plenty. This is the part I read twice.


Something went wrong sending that. Try once more.

Your answers come straight to me and nowhere else. No list, no drip, no newsletter. We will go through them together when we meet.

Got it

Thanks, that is exactly what I needed.

I will read this before we meet and bring what it tells me to the conversation. Nothing else is needed from you between now and then.

If anything changes, or you think of something you left out, reply to my email and tell me.
