You Know Anything Is Possible—And You Want to Prove It

You believe that your business is capable of far more than it is achieving right now.

If not: Identify what’s holding you back—fear, uncertainty, or lack of a clear roadmap?

Action: Define the "impossible" goal that excites and challenges you.

You Are Committed to a Business That Honors People, Performance, Profit, and Planet

You understand that a truly sustainable business succeeds in all four areas—like four tires on a car, none can be left deflated.

If not: Are you focusing too much on one while ignoring the others?

Action: Assess your business using the Possibility Heatmap—where are you thriving, and where are you lagging?

You Believe in the Power of Entrepreneurship to Transform Communities

You see business as a force for positive economic change, and you believe wealth creation can be kind to people, financially sustainable, and in harmony with nature.

If not: Are you treating business as a survival game rather than a vehicle for transformation?

Action: Reframe your mindset—your business is a system that creates jobs, opportunity, and innovation.

Your Business Model Is Scalable

You’ve built an enterprise capable of handling increased workload without a drop in performance, effectiveness, or reliability.

If not: Are you still too involved in the day-to-day? Does your growth depend entirely on you?

Action: Identify the weakest link in your business systems and commit to solving it within the next quarter.

You Have a Growth Mindset

You are committed to personal and professional growth, making course corrections when needed.

Your Knowledge and Expertise Are Systemized

You’ve created documented processes so others can execute tasks you’ve mastered.

If not: Do you still operate as the “bottleneck” in your business?

Action: Start by documenting one key process per week and training a team member to own it.

You Are Emotionally Mature

You can identify, assess, and positively influence your emotions and those of your team, clients, and stakeholders.

If not: Do emotions dictate your decisions, or do you lead with clarity and conviction?

Action: Adopt Conscious Communication strategies to navigate difficult conversations with confidence.

You Are Ready to Scale Beyond Your Current Market

You have a plan to expand regionally, sector-specifically, nationally, or internationally.

If not: Are you trapped in “playing small” due to discomfort or fear?

You Are Committed to Continuous Improvement

You regularly refine your systems, ensuring better results for your clients and team.

If not: Do you react to problems rather than proactively improve systems?

If not: Are you hesitating to step fully into the leader’s seat of your business?

Action: Define the boldest promise you are willing to make to your market—and commit to delivering it.

If you meet these conditions, you are ready.
