For experienced business owners who know something needs to change, but figuring out what’s actually going on and what to do about it isn’t simple, obvious, or easy.
You can have a business that still works in a lot of ways and still know that something about it needs to change.
Maybe the reason is obvious, like a personal health crisis, shifts in family and home life, or a changing industry landscape. Or maybe it’s subtle, like a quiet sense that something isn’t right, even if you can’t point to anything specific.
I write about what happens then: how to understand what’s no longer working and why, tease apart the threads of strategy, money, history, habits, personal circumstances, and the gap between what you think you should want and what you actually want, and be deliberate about what to do next.
