22.00.0082: Coming soon: ‘small business’

The small business system is in production. Version 1 will be released before the end of November 2024.

Register now for exclusive early-bird benefits.

We’re calling it ‘small business’, but designing it to suit any sort of small-to-medium enterprise. Think your local beer brewing club, or the kids’ kindergarten that you got roped in to being the President of.[1]

And, of course, small businesses of all shapes and sizes. From 1 to about 50 employees, whatever you do: you might own a food truck, be an accountant, have a shop, be a masseuse, an architect, a landscaper…

More than a folder structure

The ‘life admin’ pack is a folder structure and a set of files to create your JDex. That works to manage your day-to-day life, but in business you need more.

We know: Lucy and I have both been small business people forever.[2] We’ve been contractors, freelancers, and registered business owners. We learned this the hard way.

So ‘small business’ will be:

  • The folder structure, hand-crafted by us.

  • JDex files, full of usage tips and guidance.

  • Your business operations manual.

    • We all do the same basic stuff, and we keep re-inventing it. You don’t have time for that.[3]
  • A private community of your peers. With a common system, we can all help each other.

    • Channels will be structured around the system. Ask targeted questions and get answers from experts.

    • As this knowledge builds over time, we will extract it and present it as part of the system.

    • So you’re never searching for past knowledge: it’s neatly indexed and presented for you.

He knows what works. :wink:


  1. President sounding fancy until you realised how much work it is. ↩︎

  2. In his 28-year career, Johnny has had one full-time salaried job. It lasted 18 months and it wasn’t for him. Lucy was a freelancer for half of her working life. ↩︎

  3. The ops manuals will be built over time, with input from the community. ↩︎

Hi Johnny, really looking forward to this. Not sure if my email went through properly though. Are you able to check please?

Nothing! Want me to put you on the list with the address you’re registered with here? Or DM me an alternative.

Yes please, email I already use. Thank you so much.

Hello Johnny, I’m really stoked for the upcoming development of this project, can’t wait to see where you take it.

I had a look at the website and was curious if I was reading this section right:

Both membership tiers include instant access to all existing Johnny.Decimal products.

Platinum membership gets you everything we do, for life.

With Gold, you get access to anything we release while your membership is current.

Does that include all other products, not related to the business pack? So let’s say the workbook or the workshop if I didn’t own them, as well as any other packs that would be released during the ongoing Gold membership - or ever released in case of Platinum?

Thanks again for all your hard work and good luck with this new ambitious project. It’s going to be grand!

Everything we ever do, forever. And thank you for the kind words!
