Power In The Pause · A four-minute check

Where Does Your Business Go Next?

Two questions, really. Whether you know, and whether the business could take you there.

Twelve statements, about four minutes. You'll get two scores: how unresolved the direction is, and how much would have to change to follow it. Then an honest read on what they mean together.

It isn't a quiz that tells you you're doing brilliantly. The most uncomfortable result is the one where both numbers come out low.

Six statements are about the directionSix are about what the business would need

How true is each of these, right now?

0 of 12 answered

1. I change my mind about the direction depending on the week.
2. If I changed direction tomorrow, money would be tight while it happened.
3. If someone asked what the business looks like in two years, I'd struggle to answer specifically.
4. Any change would mean more work before it meant less.
5. I've been going round the same decision for months without landing it.
6. Nothing is set up that would let me take my attention off the day-to-day.
7. I know I want something to be different. I'm less sure what.
8. What I sell now is what pays the bills, and there's no room to test something else.
9. I check other people's opinions on the direction before trusting my own.
10. My income depends on me personally showing up, week by week.
11. I have several possible next steps and no way of choosing between them.
12. Changing direction would mean letting down clients who rely on how things work now.

All twelve, honestly. Nobody else sees this.
