Are you like so many small to medium business owners and started or bought a business because you have marketable skills or wanted to run your own show – what about running your business, what’s you training or experience in this area and is that enough to safely navigate all the areas of business? 

 

1.    How are you with strategy, planning, marketing, finances, staff, legislation, IT and the list goes on?

2.    When did you last step away from day to day operations to evaluate your strategy or progress?  Do you even have a strategy or at least clear goals?

3.    Do you have clear objectives established and have you recently (or ever) measured your company’s performance against these objectives?

4.    Have you evaluated revenues and profitability by identifying the most profitable products, services or customers and the least profitable contributors to your business?

5.    When was the last time you collaborated with an objective business expert on your competitive marketplace?  Do you know what this might do for your business?

6.    Do you take time to measure the return on your marketing investment to know which marketing strategy is helping you reach your target audience most effectively?  Do you even have a marketing strategy?

7.    How often do you spend time with your customers to ask about their needs and how you are doing in fulfilling these needs?

8.    Do your staff understand their role in supporting the company achieve the goal?  Do they even know the goal?

9.    Do you spend time focusing on using your strengths, interests and abilities to drive the business or do you feel like you spend most of the time on areas that are not your area of expertise but have to be done because they are part of business?

10. Do you ever wish there was someone that you could turn to for advice, guidance or help with these areas that take so much time to master?
