Personal Guidance, Thoughtfully Explained
Understanding Your Concern
Business owners consult for a narrower reason than most clients: they have a decision with a date attached and they want to know whether the timing is sound. That is the kind of question the method handles best.
The Decisions That Come Up
Launching a line, opening a second location, taking on a partner, signing a long lease, borrowing for expansion. Each has a window in which it can be done and each is reversible only at cost.
The reading works from the owner's chart rather than from an abstract idea of a good day, because the same week can support one person's expansion and strain another's.
- Launch, expansion and the opening of a second location
- Taking on a partner, and where friction is structurally likely
- Long leases and borrowings, which are costly to reverse
- Read from the owner's chart, not from a general calendar
What It Does Not Substitute For
It does not substitute for the numbers. A business that does not work arithmetically does not become viable because the launch date was well chosen, and anyone implying otherwise is doing harm to somebody's livelihood.
What timing contributes is at the margin, and the margin is worth having when a decision is already sound. It is not worth anything when the decision is not.
- No substitute for the financial case, which comes first
- A good date does not rescue an unsound proposition
- Timing contributes at the margin of a sound decision
- Where the plan itself looks weak, that is said rather than timed
