The Interruption Test

If you had to step away from your business for two weeks starting Monday, what would break first?

Most one-woman businesses run fine right up until the week their owner can't. Seven questions show you where yours is thin, while things are steady enough to do something about it.

Why two weeks?

Because that's the length of the season nobody schedules. A parent in hospital. A diagnosis. A move. A stretch where the people who need you aren't your clients.

Two weeks is long enough that momentum runs out, and short enough that you'd expect to cope. The gap between expecting to cope and actually coping is what this measures.

What you walk away with

  1. Your result on screen the moment you finish, in plain language
  2. The specific part of your business that gives way first, worked out from your own answers
  3. The Four Decisions Nobody Makes In Time, a short guide to what to settle before a hard season arrives

This is for you if…

You run your business mostly on your own

Things are fine right now, and you have a sneaking feeling you're the only thing holding it up

There are people in your life who could need you at short notice

You'd rather think about this on a good week than in the middle of a hard one

Who's asking

I'm Renee Shupe, and I've been interrupted too

I'm The Quiet Rebel™ Mentor, and I've been running an online business since 2008. That is long enough to have been interrupted by real life more than once.

A parent's health. A stretch where the people who needed me weren't clients. Seasons that showed up without checking whether it was a good week for me.

The first time, I did what most of us do. I kept everything running at full tilt, because stopping felt irresponsible and slowing down felt like falling behind. I paid for that slowly, and the bill arrived long after the season had passed.

What I understand now is that the women who come through a hard stretch intact aren't the ones who pushed harder. They're the ones who'd already decided what to protect, let the rest wait without apologizing for it, and had it written down before they needed it.

That's what this test is for. Two minutes, and you will know where your business is thin while you still have room to do something about it.

FAQ

Before you start

Is it free?

Yes. There is nothing to pay, and you will see your result before I ask for an email.

What do I get for my email?

The part of your business that gives way first, worked out from your lowest-scoring answer, plus the guide. Then four short emails over the following week or so, and after that my regular emails. You can leave any time with one click.

Is there something to buy?

Your result page offers a paid next step, The Life Happens Plan at $27, for when you want the whole plan written out. It is optional. You get the diagnosis and the guide either way.

My business is small. Does this still apply?

It's written for one-person businesses, because they're the ones that stop when their owner does.

I'm in a hard season right now. Should I still take it?

It will still show you where things are thin. If you're in the thick of it, look after yourself first and come back when you've got a breath.
