Small Business Strategy
Managing a business and growing revenue is hard and often overwhelming.
Many owners have experienced moments when they're unable to expand the business because of being stuck in a cycle of sacrificing time for minimal results. They go through moments of disorganization and feel like they're the only ones who can be trusted to complete the company's meaningful work. Their reoccurring sleepless nights have become routine while worrying about cash flow and making payroll, and they may even experience some months when they are not getting paid because everything else comes first. And don't forget about what's most important, the mounting responsibility at home for a family.
Welcome to entrepreneurship!
4 common questions to ask when you experience the "stuck" in your business:
- Do I need to inject life into our sales and marketing?
- Can I fix the missing system in this operation that's intruding on my life?
- Is the team still with me, working hard, or just collecting a paycheck?
- What is the future beyond my sacrifices and hard work?
As the leader of your organization, you'll take actionable steps to alleviate any stress from these answers. Your objective then is to learn new strategies & tactics that tighten up the business and achieve your growth expectations. The only question is: What does the next level look like for you & your business?
You're Ready For Solutions:
- When you need help putting together a strategic plan to transition a business from a solo business to an agency or firm model.
- When you want to reinvent your model so you're not working so much – to change it from a job to a business.
- When you need help with sales processes and marketing to close better clients and bigger projects
- When you experience doubt and question your answers. You want someone with experience that can see things differently, has skillsets in other areas, and will provide objective feedback.
- When you need accountability to make sure you get the right things done and avoid distractions.

It feels like you’re busy all the time, but you’re not making any progress. You feel disorganized like things are slipping. You know you should create systems and streamline processes, but you’re too busy putting out fires. Vacation? What’s that??
“I can’t take time off. The place would fall apart without me.”
TEAM

You can’t seem to hire the right people. Sometimes it seems like it would be easier to do the work yourself than manage your employees. Yet you know you need people in order to expand and make your business profitable.
“I’m putting up with shit from my staff, but I can’t confront them for fear they’ll quit.”

Sleepless nights worried about cash flow and making payroll. Maybe some months you don’t get paid because everything else comes first. No matter how much is coming in, it’s never enough.
“I get statements from my accountant, but I don’t really understand them. It seems like the business is making money but I’m not really sure.”
