The Single Point of Failure | Owner-Dependency Test (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You took the two-week vacation, came back, and the business was still standing — so you decided you'd solved owner dependency. A buyer looks at those same two weeks and sees the opposite. Adam Coffey, bestselling author and CEO, has built billion-dollar companies and personally bought 58 of them — and he can usually tell in the first hour on site whether an owner has built a real asset or just a very demanding job.

For a $1M–$10M landscape company, commercial maintenance is what turns unpredictable projec

David Jenyns, author of Systemology and Systems Champion, has helped thousands of owners turn a chaotic mental backlog into a sequence they can actually execute.
