Priya's car wash is dying and she doesn't know why. Choose marketing tactics — the expensive one isn't always the right one.
Teaches: Revenue, expenses, profit
Boss challenge: Make the business profitable before the month ends.
An owner wants out and the asking price is above your cash. Read the books, talk to the staff, then choose: cash, seller financing, partnership, or walk.
Teaches: Deal structuring
Boss challenge: Close a good deal without bankrupting yourself.
Employees, managers, complaints and a calendar that hates you. Do everything yourself and performance quietly collapses.
Teaches: Hiring, systems, delegation
Boss challenge: Leave the business alone for three days and keep it running.

Teaches: Ownership and control
Boss challenge: Close the partnership without crippling the company.
Your biggest customer leaves, the equipment breaks and a supplier raises prices in the same week. There is no obviously correct answer.
Teaches: Prioritisation under pressure

Teaches: Due diligence and the big close
Boss challenge: Ask smart questions before you sign.
