Do you recall back in December we were seeing people posting on social media... “will be glad when 2020 is over and looking forward to 2021”? Like somehow things were going to get better as if by magic on the 1st January. Even in December with the clearance of the first vaccine for use it was obvious that there was little chance of normality until at least the spring. This was confirmed on Monday evening when our Prime Minister announced a lockdown likely to last for at least seven weeks until the vaccines have a chance to protect the most vulnerable.
As business owners we cannot afford to simply do nothing for that length of time and potentially a lot longer.
It’s pretty obvious that we cannot expect our government to solve all of our problems and even if they could, not as quickly as we would like. As entrepreneurs and business owners we have always fought to create a better life for ourselves and our families and accept that we are generally unappreciated by our government for the jobs we create and the substantial taxes we pay. This has been further proven by the total lack of support in the last nine months for small company owners who remunerate themselves by using dividends.
So, regardless of what’s going on in Government or in the world generally, we need to ignore what’s outside of our control, and instead focus on what’s within our control, which is.... what are we going to change in the way we do business to ensure that we not only survive but thrive?
This starts with asking ourselves some questions.
• What changes did Covid force you to make in 2020 which have actually benefitted your business?
• Have you put into place new systems and processes to continue doing these great things?
• How can you become even better and more valuable to your customers in 2021?
• What opportunities are presenting themselves which you may have otherwise missed in the normal daily grind of work, but which have stood out because of Covid 19.
• What would you have to do to double your revenue this year? (Think big and not just in terms of an inflationary increase).
• What’s holding you back? And for this one you really need to be honest. Is it you? Do you need help?
We created our business advisory program “Your Journey To Freedom” long before Covid struck with the objective of Building Better Futures for our clients. Using this philosophy, we now apply this program to help businesses which are facing difficulties because of what happened during 2020.
In summary, there are three key steps to successfully navigating your journey to freedom.
It starts with helping you to STRENGTHEN
your business and personal finances by giving you a secure and stable foundation from which you can grow.
We move to the second level where we help you to OPTIMISE
your businesses to create a sustainable, resilient and growth focused future which is secure, under control and delivering consistent profits and cashflow.
The final level helps you to TRANSFORM
your businesses to ultimately not be dependent on you, but instead to have the team and systems in place to achieve your freedom.
