A practical starting point for business owners who want clarity before correction becomes crisis.

Simple. Focused. Designed to help you look at runway, alignment, margin, and blind spots — without overwhelm.

Download. Review. Act.

Full Product Description

Most businesses don’t collapse overnight.

They erode.

Margins tighten quietly.
Payroll drifts upward.
Ownership grows misaligned.
Blind spots go unexamined.

The Take Inventory Worksheet™ is a simple tool designed to help you pause and look — clearly and honestly — at the areas that matter most.

This isn’t a comprehensive audit.

It’s a starting point.

A Note From Carl

I’ve built businesses.
Sold them.
Watched them erode.
Rebuilt.

This worksheet isn’t theory.

It’s a distillation of hard lessons — simplified so you can act earlier than I did.

Still standing isn’t accidental.

It’s maintained.
