Build a Business That Grows Without You

Most companies don’t fail because the founders aren’t working hard enough. They fail because the business is built around founder dependency—no clear strategy, no owned execution, no repeatable systems. The Vacation Test Playbook is a practical, operator-grade framework to build a fundable strategy and install the execution systems that make growth predictable. The goal is simple: you should be able to step away for weeks (even months) and return to a business that’s stronger than when you left. Inside, you’ll learn how to: 1. Define an investor-grade strategy (ICP, positioning, business model, GTM motion) 2. Make real trade-offs with a “stop-doing list” (strategy = subtraction) 3. Set 3 clear 90-day bets with measurable outcomes and kill criteria 4. Install 4 core systems: Growth, Ownership, Operating Rhythm, and Process Playbooks 5. Align execution with fundability so capital turns into proof—fast This is not theory. It’s a step-by-step blueprint built from real founder cases across the industry — designed to help you Get Fundable + Scale Up = Business Freedom.
