Should I Start
the Business?
Eight honest questions across four dimensions. The assessment most people are too scared to take. Only 34% earn a ready verdict; the rest find out what is missing before they bet everything on it.
The other two-thirds find out what is missing.
That is not failure. That is exactly what this tool exists for. Better to know now than to learn the hard way after you have invested everything.
What This Actually Measures
Most readiness quizzes ask if you have a business plan. This goes deeper into the four dimensions that actually predict survival.
Do you have real runway? Can you survive 18 months of zero? Not hope. Math.
Can you name people who would pay you? Not a demographic. Actual humans with phone numbers.
Are you running toward something or away from something? One lasts. One does not.
Do the people who matter know what this requires? Alignment at home matters more than you think.
Why Most People Are Not Ready
After 300+ business advisory engagements, certain patterns repeat. The ones who fail are not stupid or lazy. They skip steps they did not know existed.
A Note Before You Start
This assessment works best when you answer honestly, not aspirationally. Do not answer how you want things to be. Answer how they actually are right now. The insights are only as good as your honesty.
