You open your books and the business is profitable. You open your bank account and there’s barely enough to cover this week’s payroll. If you’ve typed something like “business profitable but no cash” into Google late at night, you’re not imagining the gap, and you’re not doing anything obviously wrong. You’re just looking at two…
Most small business owners are not short on customer feedback. They’re short on a way to read it. If you run a small business, you already have reviews, DMs, emails, a few awkward conversations you’d rather forget, and maybe a survey you sent out once and never looked at again.

You sat down and did the work. You mapped your customer segments, wrote out your value proposition, picked your channels, worked out your pricing. On paper, all of it made sense.
