Hello!

This isn't a test, and nothing here is scored or judged.

It exists so you walk into Day 1 having already been honest with yourself about where things actually stand — which makes the next two days land differently than if you're figuring that out for the first time in the room.

Make sure to take your time in answering these questions as these will be the foundations that we will be building on.

Where You Are Right Now

For each statement below, choose the phrase that best describes your salon right now — same five options every time:

Not at all true
Mostly not true
Somewhat true
Mostly true
Completely true

There's no passing score — a lot of "not at all true" and "mostly not true" answers just means you're going to get real value out of specific parts of this program.

I could take a full week away from my salon and it would run exactly the same without me.

I spend more of my time doing CEO work — planning, deciding, building systems — than operator work: cutting hair, running the front desk, putting out fires.

Every role in my salon has a clear, written description of what's actually expected.

I have a real, repeatable way to measure whether each team member is performing well — not just a gut feeling about who's "good."

My day-to-day processes are written down somewhere, not just in my head.

If I got sick for two weeks, my team would know exactly what to do without calling me.

I know my salon's actual net profit margin right now — not just whether there's money in the bank.

I understand where my money is actually going, category by category, not just what came in versus what went out.

I have a written, repeatable system for how new clients find me and how existing ones come back.

I could describe what makes my salon different from the one down the street in one clear sentence.
