Checking in With Reality

As we work one on one with business owners to grow their businesses we get to see their many and varied challenges. One learning that we have as a team in our own business is to constantly check our systems against reality. It is very easy to add more complexity to a company when what is really needed is a simple tweak to the current process to get better results or information. New systems for the sake of them do not save time. Checking reality with the desired outcome is all that is required to see is a system is performing.

Each business we work with has a different structure, industry, market and their own unique financial and management challenges and whilst there are similarities in the evolution of each business a universal approach to growth does not work. Likewise the owner operator has differing needs than a larger company with a management team. One common theme is that all business owners experience the isolation of leading. Sometimes the network we provide by getting our clients together regularly or by simply listening to their issues, gives that sounding board they need to re energise and overcome the latest challenge.
