Sixteen questions about four parts of your business. It takes about seven minutes.
Answer honestly. A good score is of no use to you. Most owners score lower than they expect, and the low scores are the useful ones.
There is a fifth thing this scorecard does not measure: what the business is for. When that is clear, the four above become easier. There is a short set of questions on it at the end.
Enter your email to see your score, your rating for each of the four parts, and where you have the most room to improve. You can also download it as a PDF.
You will also get The 100 Year Letter — one useful idea a week. No advertising. Leave any time.
Worth naming. The rest gets built on top of this.
Below all four parts sits one question no scorecard can mark. Sit with these — first on your own, then with the family.
When these have clear answers, most of what you scored above becomes easier. People take ownership without being given shares, and the next generation finds a reason to want the work that has nothing to do with inheritance.
A one-page PDF with your score, your four ratings and your weakest areas. Useful to show the family, or to look at again in six months.
