Sound familiar?

You built something people want. Now it runs you.

The same four problems show up in almost every small business I help. None of them mean you’re doing it wrong. They mean the business outgrew the way you’ve been running it.

You’re guessing where customers come from

So you can’t tell which marketing is worth the money.

Your prices were set years ago

And nobody has checked them against what a job really costs.

The process lives in your head

So the business only runs when you’re there.

Great work, hard to find

Customers nearby search for what you do and find someone else.

What’s inside

Everything you need to run it like a system.

Start with the assessment. It tells you which module to open first, so you’re never working through the whole thing at once.

Who it’s for

For owners who do the work and run the business.

It’s built for service businesses, makers and anyone running a business of one (or a few). If you’re the one doing the jobs and answering the emails at 10pm, I wrote it for you.

I’m Mel. I’ve spent 15 years in retail and digital commerce, and today I lead a 12-person ecommerce operations team. The Blueprint is the same discipline, sized for a small business.
