You know what's wrong.This installs the fix.
The book showed you the hurdle. The Scorecard told you which section is holding you back. Neither one does the work. That's what these are for.
100 days to decide. If they don't earn their keep, I refund you and you keep the files.
Each one sits down with your actual business — your revenue, your staff list, your prices, your week — and produces something you can hand to a person or put into use on Monday.
Not another explanation of delegation.
A delegation ladder with your people's names on it, in the order you should hand things over.
Not advice about pricing.
Your margin by line, the costs you've been absorbing without deciding to, and an increase plan with dates on it.
Not a chapter on measurement.
Five numbers chosen for your business, with an owner and a review day, on a tracker that logs a year of weeks.
Not a reminder that credibility matters.
A list of what a buyer can get only from you, and where it's missing at the moment they decide.
- 1
Open the Playbook that matches your lowest Scorecard section. That section is your constraint. START HERE tells you which one, and in what order.
- 2
Paste the training file into an AI assistant. About 1,100 words of instruction, written for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini — whichever you already use. Plain text, so it copies cleanly.
- 3
Answer its questions about your business. Not generic ones. Your numbers, your people, your prices, and what you've already tried.
- 4
Put the output to work. What comes back is yours. It won't fit the shop down the road, because it was built from your answers.
You don't need to be technical. If you can paste text into a chat box, you can run these.
On your data. The training files ask about your numbers and your people. You choose what to type. Use an assistant you already trust with business information, leave out anything you wouldn't put in an email, and use initials instead of names where it doesn't change the answer.
- Hurdle Math
- Where your next million actually comes from. Run this first, always.
- Playbook Zero
- The numbers everything else depends on.
- Playbook A
- Credibility. Why you're not being chosen before anyone talks to you.
- Playbook B
- Revenue flow and lead handling. Where the leads you already paid for are leaking out.
- Playbook C
- Culture and management. Turning it into something that runs without you in the room.
- Playbook D
- Owner dependence. The delegation ladder, with names and dates.
- Playbook P
- What you charge. The only lever that adds revenue without adding customers, capacity, or cost.
Plus the AI Training Files, four worksheets and trackers in Word and Excel, and a START HERE that tells you which one to run first. Every document comes as both a PDF and an editable Word file.
Your call, and both work.
The $97 Deep Diagnostic scores you across all 84 questions and tells you exactly where you stand, in writing. If you want to be certain before you start, do that first.
But the Scorecard is printed in Chapter 2 of the book, and it's free at milliondollarhurdle.com/scorecard. If you've filled it in and you know which section is lowest, you already have what you need. Start here.
What doesn't work is running all six at once. One at a time, in order.
These are built for an owner or operator working on their own business — one business, your numbers, your people. If you advise other people's companies as a consultant, coach, fractional CFO, or agency, the standard license doesn't cover using them with clients. Get in touch and we'll sort out one that does: reports@fitzgeraldgrowthpartners.com
$47. Emailed to you in minutes.
A hundred days to decide.
Use them for a hundred days. If they haven't earned their keep, email me and I'll refund you in full — and you keep the files. I'm not asking you to trust me. I'm asking you to try it.
