Take this 5-minute Scale-Up Self-Assessment to evaluate your structural readiness across revenue consistency, leadership depth, systems, financial reserves, and operational strength, so you can determine whether now is the right time to scale.
Shannon's been there, she's done that, and she knows how to scale. I can't count the number of times I have been lacking clarity and she's been able to provide immense clarity on the right steps and the right action plan. Her network is crazy valuable.

Inside this complimentary Scale-Up Self-Assessment, you will:
Evaluate your readiness across 8 structural categories including financial health, team leadership, systems, and market demand
Receive a clear readiness ranking from Not Ready to Ready to Scale
Identify which areas of your business would multiply stability - and which would multiply stress - if you expanded
Determine whether franchising, licensing, or multi-location growth is strategically sound right now
Who This Is For
This assessment is designed for founders who:
Generate consistent 6- or 7-figure revenue
Are exploring franchising, licensing, or multi-location expansion
Feel pressure to “scale” but are unsure if the infrastructure is ready
Are still deeply involved in daily operations
Want expansion to increase enterprise value - not operational chaos
If you’re considering growth beyond your current structure, this assessment will give you clarity before complexity.
What’s Inside
You will answer 21 diagnostic questions across five key areas:
Business metrics and financial health
Team structure and leadership
Market demand and offer strength
Processes and systems
Your vision and readiness to lead at the next level
Each question is scored to reveal your overall readiness level, and highlight the specific areas that require strengthening before expansion.
Why Learn from Shannon
I’m Shannon Wilburn—co-founder of Just Between Friends, which grew to 150+ locations in 33 states, and now CEO of SHINE Executive Coaching.
I’ve seen founders rush into expansion before their structure could support it, and I’ve seen others delay scaling when they were more ready than they realized. Both are costly. This assessment helps you avoid both mistakes.
For years, I lived inside real growth. Hiring teams. Supporting franchise owners. Refining systems. Leading through seasons that felt smooth and seasons that felt anything but.
I know what it feels like when the business looks successful on paper but inside it feels messy, reactive, or heavier than you expected.
And I also know what it takes to steady the foundation so growth feels sustainable again.
Working with Shannon has been a game-changer for both my business and my mindset. She brought clarity, structure, and strategy to areas that had previously felt overwhelming.
She has an exceptional ability to zoom out and help craft a big-picture growth strategy, while keeping me focused on actionable steps.
~ Autumn Worten
She broadened my perspective on key determinants that will help elevate my business and was refreshingly honest about the mindset shifts I needed to make as a businesswoman.
In just one hour, I walked away with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
~ Ranelle Bracy-Lewis
Shannon is a unicorn. She is a consummate professional while keeping a bubbly, optimistic personality. She is straightforward and honest while being incredibly kind.
I'd recommend getting in touch if you're ready to grow in your business, your habits, and your confidence.
~ Kevin Peters
