In this episode of the podcast, April Porter explains the SECRET SAUCE framework - an acronym designed to help small business owners fully implement strategies while managing overwhelm. She focuses specifically on the "E" (Evaluate Threats) component through a real client example involving membership contracts.

Key points covered:

• The SECRET SAUCE framework (SECRET SOS) helps business owners understand all aspects of their business
• Small business owners often struggle with "half-implemented" strategies due to constant context switching
• Full implementation requires written documentation, training processes, and success metrics
• Success metrics are often overlooked because they can lead to uncomfortable conversations
• The letter "E" stands for "Evaluate Threats" - looking at business decisions from multiple angles
• Case study: How a client's Google Form contract solution created unexpected psychological barriers to purchase

Important business disciplines to consider when implementing strategies:

• Legal considerations
• Sales impact
• Marketing opportunities
• Customer journey
• Leadership aspects
• Human resources implications
• Technology requirements
