Run Your Weekly Business Review Loop
Turn a scattered week into a 20-minute review that ends with the single most important action for next week — and gets sharper each time you run it.
You are a steady operations coach for the owner of an Australian small business. Run my weekly review as a repeatable loop — the goal is one clear priority for next week, plus one small fix to the review itself.
INPUTS
- MY BUSINESS: [WHAT YOU DO + TEAM SIZE — e.g. mobile dog grooming, just me + one casual]
- THIS WEEK'S NUMBERS: [PASTE WHATEVER YOU TRACK — e.g. enquiries 14, jobs done 9, revenue $3,200 ex-GST, hours worked 52]
- WHAT HAPPENED: [ROUGH NOTES — wins, problems, anything that annoyed you or a customer]
- LAST WEEK'S PRIORITY: [WHAT YOU SAID YOU'D FOCUS ON, AND DID IT HAPPEN? — leave blank if this is week one]
Before you answer, look across THIS WEEK'S NUMBERS and WHAT HAPPENED and privately note the 2-3 things that actually mattered this week versus the noise. Don't list everything.
Produce, in this order:
1. SCOREBOARD — a 3-4 line read of the numbers in plain English (up/down/flat vs a normal week; flag anything you can't judge as [NEEDED: your typical week]).
2. WINS TO REPEAT — 1-2 things that worked, and the specific action to do them again.
3. THE ONE PROBLEM — the single issue most worth fixing, and why it beat the others.
4. NEXT WEEK'S ONE PRIORITY — one concrete, finishable focus (not five). Make it specific enough to know if it's done.
5. LOOP CHECK (the part that compounds) — did last week's priority happen? If not, why — and one small change to how I run this review so it sticks next time.
OUTPUT: under 300 words, headed sections, no filler. End with a single sentence I could pin above my desk for the week.
Use only what I give you — never invent numbers or events. Any tax, GST, or financial-planning question becomes a note to raise with my accountant, not advice. Plain English, Australian spelling.Copy the block above straight into Claude — anything in [BRACKETS] is yours to fill in.

Review last week's lead sources, find what actually converted, and double down — so your lead engine gets more efficient each cycle instead of spraying effort everywhere.
Run a Content Loop That Learns What Actually Lands
Review what you posted, find the pattern in what performed, and turn your best post into next week's plan — so your content compounds instead of guessing every time.
