Who it is for

Home service owners. It sits on the Run the Business shelf: rhythm, systems, and building something worth more than your time.

Like every Playbook, it is written for the owner who runs the business day to day, in plain English, with no invented numbers.

What's inside

Every Playbook follows the same eight parts, in the same order, so you always know where to look.

1. The Argument. Why this part of the business matters, and what it costs you to get it wrong.
2. What Good Looks Like. The standard to aim for, described plainly enough that you can tell when you are there.
3. The path. What to do, who does it and when, opened by the path on one page. It is named for the book's job — How to Build It, How to Run It, How to Handle It, How to Choose or How to Find the Leak — and it is the largest part of every book.
4. The Rhythm. What to do every week, month and season to keep it working once it is built.
5. The Scoreboard. The few numbers that tell you whether it is working.
6. Where It Goes Wrong. The common ways it fails, including a case where the book's own advice is the wrong call.
7. Related Playbooks. The other books this one leans on, and where to read next.
8. Already Built For You. What GameTime OS already does for this, so you do not build it twice.
