This isn't a cheerleading exercise. It's 8 questions designed to surface the things you haven't thought through. Only 34% get a "Ready" verdict. Most people need to hear that.

34%

get a "Ready" verdict.

The other 66% find out what's missing. That's not failure. That's exactly what this is for. Better to know now than to learn the hard way after you've invested everything.

What This Measures

Most "readiness quizzes" ask if you have a business plan. This goes deeper into four dimensions that actually predict survival.

1
Financial Reality

Do you have real runway? Can you survive 18 months of zero? Not hope. Math.

2
Market Validation

Can you name people who'd pay you? Not a demographic. Actual humans with phone numbers.

3
Motivation Quality

Are you running toward something or away from something? One lasts. One doesn't.

4
Support System

Do the people who matter know what this requires? Alignment at home matters more than you think.

Why Most People Aren't Ready

After 15+ years advising business owners, I've seen patterns. The ones who fail aren't stupid or lazy โ€” they skipped steps they didn't know existed.

They built before they validated.Spent months on a product nobody wanted to buy.
They were escaping, not building.The new thing got hard, and the motivation disappeared.
They had hope but not runway.Desperation made every decision worse.
They didn't align with the people who mattered.Home stress plus work stress equals burnout.

A Note Before You Start

This assessment works best when you answer honestly, not aspirationally. Don't answer how you want things to be. Answer how they actually are right now. The insights are only as good as your honesty.
