Private Small Business Evaluation

---

Before you invest in another course, tactic, or outside service, it’s worth knowing what actually applies to your business—and what doesn’t.

There are hundreds of business solutions available today. Most assume businesses are interchangeable. They aren’t.

Every small business operates in a specific market, with specific customers, constraints, and realities. What worked for someone else—somewhere else—often doesn’t translate. Guessing can be costly.

This private evaluation exists to help you understand what truly matters for your business right now, and where effort may be misdirected—before you commit more time or money in the wrong direction.

This evaluation is designed for:

• Owner-operated small businesses
   
• Owners who feel stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed by conflicting advice
   
• Businesses that have tried “doing the right things” without clear results
   
• Owners who value clarity and judgment over hype or tactics
   

This evaluation is not for:

• Startups looking for step-by-step training
   
• Businesses seeking hands-on execution or agency services
   
• Anyone looking for free advice or generic solutions
   

This is not a consultation or a sales call.

It’s a paid, one-on-one evaluation designed to identify:

• What’s helping your business
   
• What may be holding it back
   
• Where effort and attention are best applied
   
• What you can safely stop worrying about
   

In some cases, the conclusion may be that you do not need outside help at all.

That clarity alone is often the most valuable outcome.

If this feels relevant, you can request a private evaluation here.

Step 1: Pre-Session Intake

You’ll complete a short questionnaire and share a few existing materials (website, social presence, etc.), allowing me to review your situation in advance.

Step 2: Independent Review

I review your business positioning, visibility, and current approach—looking for misalignment, wasted effort, and overlooked leverage.

Step 3: Private Zoom Evaluation

We meet one-on-one for approximately 60 minutes. I’ll reflect what I see, explain what’s likely helping or hurting, and clarify what deserves focus now.

Step 4: Clear Direction

You leave with a practical understanding of next steps—whether you choose to act on them independently or seek further help elsewhere.

No jargon.
No pressure.
No obligation to continue.

After the evaluation, you should have:

• A clearer understanding of your market position
   
• Insight into where time and money may be misdirected
   
• Perspective on whether marketing or social media is truly serving you
   
• A focused priority for the next 60–90 days
   
• Relief from second-guessing and conflicting advice
   

Many owners find this saves months of trial and error.

To be clear, this evaluation does not include:

• Team or staff assessments
   
• Employee interviews
   
• Operational audits
   
• Marketing execution or management
   
• Tactical or technical training
   

The purpose is clarity and direction, not implementation.

Most small business struggles aren’t caused by lack of effort.

They’re caused by effort applied in the wrong places.

If you’re unsure what deserves your attention—and what doesn’t—this evaluation can help you stop guessing and move forward with confidence.

I’ve spent decades as a business owner and operator, working inside the real-world challenges small businesses face—not theory.

I’m the author of The Small Biz Guide, and my work focuses on helping owners cut through noise, clarify priorities, and make better decisions without hype or pressure.

This is a paid evaluation. Availability is limited to ensure each session receives proper attention.

If you’re not sure whether this evaluation is appropriate for your situation, you’re welcome to reach out with a brief question before booking.
