I started 2026 off with a bang and I slipped and fell on the stairs. Hit my bum - kicker I did this exact thing exactly 5 years ago. It made me think - what if something happens to me and I can't work? I am lucky as I have a great team supporting me and they can do the work - work itself. But, what happens to what I have built and still building - my company, my legacy? Do you have everything in place? Insurances, wills etc?Free Start-of-Year Business Review System (Dashboards + Workbooks)
Hey Jobber Community 👋 Ryaan Tuttle from Best Handyman Boston, here. Every January I see the same thing happen: Good operators stay busy… but repeat the same problems year after year because they never slow down long enough to review the business. So I put together a Start-of-Year Business Review system that I normally walk owners through live and I’m making it 100% free for anyone here to use. This isn’t theory. It’s a practical, plug-and-play review you can complete in January and then use all year long. What’s Included (All Free) 📊 KPI Dashboards (Excel) These are designed to give you clarity without overwhelm. Recurring Revenue KPI Dashboard Tracks: Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) Lifetime Value (LTV) LTV : CAC ratio CAC payback period Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) Churn rate This helps you answer: Is my marketing actually making me money? Start of Year Review -2026 Weekly KPI Dashboard Tracks: Quotes sent Quote-to-job conversion Jobs scheduled Weekly revenue Gross profit per job Gross margin Takes ~5 minutes per week and shows problems before they become expensive. ___________________________________________________________________________ 📘 Business Review Workbooks These walk you step-by-step through a full January deep dive: Budget Audit Workbook Cut waste, renegotiate vendors, and usually find $500–$2,000/month in savings. Vendor Scorecard Grade every vendor (subs, marketing, software, suppliers) and decide who stays, improves, or goes. Tech Stack Worksheet Identify redundant tools, manual work, and where your systems are costing you time and money. Team Review Matrix A simple framework to evaluate performance, attitude, growth, and future hiring needs. One Goal Worksheet Helps you identify the single constraint holding your business back and set one clear, measurable goal for the year. 🗓 Bonus January Action Calendar to turn the review into execution Weekly review rhythm so this doesn’t turn into a “one-and-done” exercise How to Use It Fill out the workbooks in order Plug real numbers into the dashboards Pick ONE goal that makes everything else easier this year If you do nothing else in January, do this. 🔗 Free Download Everything is available here (no opt-in, no catch): 👉 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OgSjf7xT6JUDjBeV7HrbQ3uS7bB9i92L?usp=share_link January is when winning operators separate themselves. Know your numbers. Cut the fat. Focus on what actually moves the needle. Hope this helps a few of you make 2026 your best year yet 💪 — RyaanHow do you structure an ESOP and when should you decide to create that? Revenue or Profit Metric?
I would really like to structure my business as an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan — ESOPs are qualified retirement plans benefiting the selling owner, company and employees). If you have/had an ESOP can you please share as many details as possible on the pro's & con's? How you started it? Managed it? And presented the idea to your employees? Look forward to hearing some feedback on this topic.
