52X Business Evaluator

My commitment is to help you start a business and profit this year. The 52X Business Evaluator is a framework for research, thought, and scoring to help you more objectively evaluate your business ideas and determine their success potential. It’s a simple yet effective method that will ensure you’re confident with your chosen path.

Whether you want to outright quit your job or you simply want to earn $20,000 on the side–this is for you.

The 52X Business Evaluator is a simple Excel spreadsheet that is broken down into four phases. Each phase is represented by a tab. You do not need to be a math whiz, financial expert, or business guru. This is a simple, effective approach.

You will begin with numerous business ideas and rank them against one another. You’ll apply real-world business success principles to your ideas.

Pre-Requisites

This Evaluator assumes you’ve taken my free 5-lesson email course or have read my bestselling books Leave the Grind Behind or The Book on Small Business Ideas. These will help you pick the ideas to evaluate.
