An invitation from your coach

How much of your business runs without you?

I'm inviting my clients to take the Transferable Value Index. Twelve questions, about four minutes, and a personalized report lands in your inbox about thirty seconds after you finish.

12 questions About 4 minutes No prep, no wrong answers

Why I'm sharing this

Every business lands somewhere on the map.

The Transferable Value Index measures how much of your company's value lives in the business itself, and how much still lives in you. It isn't a grade and there's no passing score. It's a snapshot of where you stand today.

I took it for my own practice. I'd like you to take it for yours, because where you land is one of the most useful starting points a coaching conversation can have.

How your results are handled

Your report goes straight to you, and a copy comes to me as your coach, so we can put it to work together in our next session. That's the whole arrangement: no sales calls, no follow-up you didn't ask for.

What you'll get

A personalized report, about thirty seconds after you finish.

The map

Four quadrants. No wrong ones.

Plenty of excellent businesses sit in the owner-run and owner-dependent quadrants. The map doesn't tell you what to do; it shows you where you're standing, so the work we do together starts from reality.

Knowing your quadrant turns a vague feeling about the business into something we can actually work on.
