It only works if you have an answer.

If the one build decision feels right, but you want to pressure test your pick before you commit a quarter to it, I built something for exactly this.

The Business Bourbon and Cigars Workbook.

This is the same tool me plus Altra members use at our leadership retreats.

And at its core is the SMAC planning process, which maps directly onto what we just did.

You define the situation honestly, which is the constraint test on paper.

You're going to name your mission, the one mechanic, written as a sentence with a finish line.

Then you're going to lay out the actions with owners and timelines attached, which forces the ownership test whether you like the answer or not.

This thing is free.

I want you to go to meplusultra.com slash workbook, or you can grab the link in the show notes.

Make sure you download this.

Run your build list decision through it this week before the quarter gets loud.

Don't read it.

Fill it out.

The exercises are where the thinking happens.

And the operators who work them on paper make a noticeably sharper choice than the ones who run the filters in their head between meetings.

I will leave you with the December test.

I want you to picture two operators having that year-end banking conversation 12 months from now.

One of those operators closed 40 plus fixes and added nothing that produces.

The other business leader closed 20 to 30 fixes, let a few things stay broken on purpose, and finished one mechanic that now runs without them.
