What foundational criteria must our business meet in terms of revenue, team size, and leader mindset before we can officially sign an engagement agreement with you?

Before we sign an engagement agreement, your business needs to meet three specific criteria. First, you must have a leadership team of three to eight people who are genuinely willing to be open, honest, and vulnerable. If your department heads are still protective of their turf or unwilling to hear tough feedback, the system will not work.

Second, your business needs to have achieved a level of product market fit where you are generating at least two million dollars in annual revenue. Below this threshold, your primary challenge is usually survival and sales, not organizational structure. The tools we implement are designed to scale existing operations, not to invent a business model from scratch.

Third, you as the owner must be ready to commit to the 24-month process. This means protecting the session days on your calendar with zero exceptions. It also means preparing your budget to support the implementation. You must be willing to make hard people decisions. If you are holding onto toxic high performers because you fear losing their revenue, you are not ready.

My recommendation is to conduct an honest assessment of your leadership team. If everyone is ready to look in the mirror, acknowledge your organizational weaknesses, and dedicate the necessary time and capital, then we are ready to schedule your first Focus Day.
