Free working files

Free Solo Business Operations Toolkit

Five plain CSV worksheets for keeping client commitments, software decisions, and automation changes visible. No email address, account, or payment is required.

Before you start

Use the files as working prompts, not automatic truth.

Each download contains a clearly marked synthetic example row or column. Delete the example, adapt the fields to your work, and verify vendor-specific dates or obligations against current records. Never store passwords, recovery codes, payment-card data, or unnecessary client details in these files.

The toolkit

Download only what helps the next decision.

CSV · spreadsheet-compatible · no macros

01

Client-delivery dashboard

Track one row per active engagement: the next milestone, owner, risk, decision, and client update.

02

Software and service inventory

Create a safe operating record of purpose, access, integrations, renewal timing, export, and fallback paths.

03

Quarterly tool audit

Review value, use, permissions, dependencies, portability, and the next keep-or-change decision.

04

Renewal and cancellation calendar

Move review, export, cancellation, and evidence deadlines ahead of the vendor's renewal date.

05

Automation change and rollback plan

Define the approved baseline, release evidence, rollback trigger, restoration steps, and manual fallback before a workflow changes.

A 30-minute setup

Build the smallest useful control system.

Start with current work and active services. Completeness can come later.
