Are You Really Ready to Scale? Take the 12-Point Readiness Assessment.

Before you scale, stop and ask: Should you?

In this video, I introduce one of the first tools I use with every entrepreneur, the Scaling Readiness Assessment.

It’s a 12-question diagnostic that gives you a fast, high-level view of whether your company is truly ready to grow or whether you’re setting yourself up for unnecessary stress and stalled momentum.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• What “readiness” really means across operations, sales, quality, and cash

• The 4 red-flag areas that should stop any scaling attempt

• How to use the spider graph to visualise your strengths and risks

• A simple roadmap to plan your next 6–12 months of focus

• Why mindset and leadership readiness often matter more than product or profit

This assessment isn’t theory. It’s a strategic filter.

Use it to decide when to scale and how to do it without breaking your business.
