Twelve weeks of tasks, with a gate at day 30, 60, and 90.

Pages 5–8

Four bottleneck playbooks

Goal, weekly cadence, five must-do actions, and the metrics that prove it worked.

Scoreboard, calendar, review

A 15-minute Monday scoreboard, a 12-week calendar, and a day-90 review.

Every business breaks in one of four places

The playbook has a page for each. You only run one.

Systems

Sounds like: “I’m the only one who knows how this works.”

In 90 daysYour top three processes run from written docs, each with an owner.

Team

Sounds like: “It’s faster if I just do it myself.”

In 90 daysPeople own outcomes. You approve exceptions, not routine.

Cash

Sounds like: “Revenue’s up. Why is the account tight?”

In 90 daysYou see cash 13 weeks out, and every offer earns its margin.

Time

Sounds like: “I’ll think about strategy when things calm down.”

In 90 daysTwo defended deep-work blocks a week, and fewer than three fires.

Who it’s for

This is for you if

  • You run a growing small business and you’re the bottleneck
  • You’re an operator or executive who knows what’s broken and needs a plan
  • You’ll spend 15 minutes every Monday on a scoreboard
  • You want to fix one thing properly instead of five things halfway

Skip it if

  • You want a motivational ebook
  • You’re looking for a growth hack or a funnel template
  • You won’t hand anything off, even after it’s documented

From an operator, not a theorist

I’ve been raising capital and running companies since 2006, across real estate, manufacturing, and retail. I founded SIMM Capital in 2014.

I’ve built, bought, and exited businesses, including one that went through bankruptcy. This playbook is the sequence I use when a business depends on its owner too much.
