The Owner Dependency Tax™ Series
The part you write in, not the part you read on a plane. Score yourself on the ODT gauge, then run the 90-Day Sprint™ — the workbook that turns Owner Optional into a plan.
By Joe Lorenz | Growth Advisor | BEI Owner Based Planner | Former Vistage Chair | Former EOS Implementer
A guided quarter of work — diagnosis, plan, and the pages to track it.
Where you rank today across decision-making, client relationships, operations, sales & marketing, and knowledge transfer.
A quarter-by-quarter plan to pull yourself off the critical path, one dependency area at a time.
Decision logs, client-transition maps, and SOP triage — structured so the work happens on the page, not in your head.
Short, repeatable reviews that keep the score moving and surface where you're slipping back into the bottleneck.
Read the argument in Owner Optional, then do the work here. Each chapter maps to a section of the Field Guide.
Owners who are done reading about owner dependency and ready to remove it — best used alongside Owner Optional.
The 90-Day Sprint workbook is already live. Start scoring yourself and working the plan before the printed Field Guide ships.
