IF YOU HAD 1–3 YESES, you are probably finding it difficult to attract new clients and customers. You may also find that the marketing you are doing is not getting the financial results you desire. And, because of this you are finding it hard to know where best to invest your marketing dollars which results in random acts of marketing. But with some focused work on identifying who your ideal client truly is and what marketplace gaps exist in serving them; you can be on your way to turning things around.

IF YOU HAD 4–5 YESES, you are probably finding that the results of your marketing efforts can be a little ‘all over the map’. You waver between just doing marketing versus executing campaigns and thus some efforts get acceptable results, while other efforts struggle to meet return on investment. You may also have an issue with clients and customers not quite seeing the unique value you offer, so you end up competing with others on price. However, with a few strategic moves, you are extremely close to having a powerful marketing system which inevitably creates loyal clients and customers that refer your business.

IF YOU HAD 6–7 YESES, Congratulations! You are in a position where you have a strong marketing and sales foundation with predictable results. Your clients and customers are keenly aware of both the value and service you offer thus you don’t have to compete with others on price. You operate a refined referral and leveraged marketing engine which drives clients and customers into your business and you are poised to expand and innovate your products and services.

IF YOU HAD 1–3 YESES, you are most likely struggling with the day to day cashflow of your business. You might also be experiencing a sense of overwhelm, because while your revenues are increasing, so have expenses to the detriment of profits. And finally, you do not have a trusted financial team so your financial information is not clear and you’re not really sure what to tackle first. But if you strip away the overwhelm and you focus your energy towards establishing and connecting your financial team you will be on a trajectory for increased sales and profits with timely business information upon which to base decisions.

IF YOU HAD 4–5 YESES, you are probably in a position where you are making a solid income in your business; however, there are some months that are leaner than others. You may also be experiencing periods of stress when large bills such as taxes are due. You are extremely close to breaking through to your desired profitability but will need to optimize your cashflow for your business to become as an asset.

IF YOU HAD 6–7 YESES, Congratulations! We’ve all have heard the statistics regarding the success rates of small businesses and it’s clear you have overcome one of the biggest obstacles that exists, predictable positive cashflow. Having the ability to generate sales and capture profits for both the business and business owner is a powerful position to be in. With your financial team integrated with one another, you are free to do the work you most love to do, because you have broken-free from the world of financial overwhelm that most business owners struggle with.

IF YOU HAD 1–3 YESES, you are probably struggling to walk away from the day to day of the business as so much is dependent upon you. Your business may also be lacking documented practices that would allow you to become proactive rather than mostly reactive when issues arise. And, finally, your confidence in your ability to take this business to the level you desire could be suffering right now. However, if you find support in areas you are not the strongest and focus more on your natural strengths and higher income producing tasks, you can start to shift the way you function for your business and thus increase it’s value to you and the marketplace.

IF YOU HAD 4–5 YESES, you are most likely caught in a tug-of-war of love/hate with your business. The reason is because you know you are really close to making a breakthrough but it’s been difficult to get past the hurdles that seem to keep popping up. The desire is there; however, the “crisis of the day/week” gets exhausting and decreases productivity. Whether it is creating/optimizing clear operating procedures and workflows, implementing routine maintenance, or getting the support of a qualified tech or marketing team, any one of these items or a combination of others could be your difference-maker.

IF YOU HAD 6–7 YESES, Congratulations, because you most likely have a business that is a well oiled machine. You have successfully implemented technology and systems and processes that allow you to focus on the highest income generating tasks in your business rather than getting stuck in the day to day. As a result you have a magnetic way of showing up in your business and your team has great respect for you. Your reputation precedes you, and because of your success people are often asking, “how you do it?”.

IF YOU HAD 1–3 YESES, you are probably finding it difficult to lead yourself let alone alone anyone else at this time. Your “team” are more like employees and are only present on an as needed (project) basis. And, because you can’t grow yourself, you in turn can’t grow your team, and this mean you can’t grow your profits. But with some intentional actions to move from owning your job to assuming an owner’s mindset operating a small business, you can position your business for growth and more efficient profits.

IF YOU HAD 4–5 YESES, You are most likely discovering that some of the “team” you have in place, while they are great people, may be in the wrong roles or working in the completely wrong business (yours!). Likewise, you remain the expert and struggle to train others to replace you so that you can focus on the absolute highest revenue generating items and to develop new, and refine current, profit centers. Yet, there is hope and a “CEO” within you. This is the critical stage where you must obtain support and develop Key Team Members that begin to carry the torch so the external results you know are possible become a reality.

IF YOU HAD 6–7 YESES, Congratulations! You have a flourishing culture that self-mediates and quickly coaches-up or coaches-out fellow team members that don’t fit. Because of this you are spending more time developing leaders and working on your business rather than in it. This also affords you the freedom of time and freedom of money to invest in yourself, your family, and your community with significant impact. You have developed a true asset that you could retire into or away from at a time of your choosing.
