THE COMPANION JOURNAL
The questions are the work.
Every chapter of the book ends with questions about your business, your role in it, and what is actually in the way. This is where you answer them.
You can start right now. Nothing is locked. Read any question, write in any box, and sign in only when you want it kept.
WHY IT EXISTS
Most business books get read once and shelved. This one asks you to answer back.
Your words, not ours
The prompts are targeted at the ceiling you are standing under right now. No templates, no scoring, no advice you did not ask for.
Dated and kept
Every answer is saved with a date stamp, and earlier versions are kept. Come back in a year and you can see exactly how far your thinking has moved.
Private by default
Nobody reads what you write. The one exception is a single entry you choose to share with Brett for feedback, and you can change your mind.
