Description
This episode introduces the business audit framework I use in my own work: a two-score system for assessing every single asset in your business. 1) Does it work, and 2) Is it aligned? Not as yes/no questions, but on a sliding scale, through four specific lenses each. Because good and bad, ethical and unethical, working and broken — none of it is actually binary. Some of what I share might open a can of worms for you. That's kind of the point.
In this episode:
Why "profitable" doesn't mean your offer is actually working
The two scores every business asset needs and the four lenses behind each one
Why your alignment score being higher than your work score is not a badge of honor
What I discovered when I audited my own social media
The membership I closed — not because it wasn't making money, but because it wasn't getting results
Why operations are where your values either become infrastructure or stay performative
What to do when both scores are low (and why it's actually the easiest place to start)
