Planning Success 🙌

What will make your business more successful?

As we know, success is a process and not a one-off event.

You may already know of the SMARTER Goals analysis which are...

➡    Special -to you and that stretch you
➡    Measurable -clear, specific, focused and able to be monitored
➡    Actionable -where your actions make a difference
➡    Remember -you can achieve whatever you feel possible
➡    Time based-with a beginning and an end
➡    Evolving- changing and developing
➡    Recorded-so you know you mean it

My role as a facilitator is to guide you through the above process by asking questions to explore and clarify areas including establishing ‘What are your goals in business?’

If you would like to chat with me, book a call through the link in the comment section to complete our Assessment Report personalised to you free of charge.

Remember…. If you don’t know what you are doing…. By taking care…you could just get there!!

How do I achieve my goals?

We often hear people talking about wanting to achieve their goals.
We could see examples such as;

◻ Wanting to achieve £5m annual profits by say 2029;
◻ Build and then sell on my business for £10m;
◻ Retire with £10m in the bank;
◻ Needing to support the cost of further education for my children/grandchildren.

With one of these goals in mind, and by introducing structured strategic planning into your business, you can avoid chaotic progress by wasting resources taking too long and not providing any semblance of control.

It’s so much better having a measured plan of action with a road map to a subtly refining destination.

20 years in business 🙌

It has actually been 20 years since I took the big step and started my own business. 🙌 🥂

After recently reflecting on a time-lapse of the last two decades, I feel a sense of gratitude for good and sometimes turbulent times.

In a quiet moment this week, I contemplated with a cup of tea ☕ and jotted down some words of wisdom to fellow business owners;

⭐ Be supportive and very much a part of your clients progress.

⭐ Don’t hesitate to delegate and create a solid background team to share the load.

⭐ Every year brings new beginnings and opportunities to grasp.

⭐ Maintain focus and structure in your business.

⭐ Take regular breaks and holidays to help keep you motivated and refreshed.

⭐ Remember that your family will be around a lot longer than your business ever will.

Can you think of any more to add or tell us about a recent anecdote you heard that helped inspire YOU 🤩 ? I'd love to hear them in the comments!

PS Photo is of me recharging on holiday!

Finding Inspiration 💡

I’ve been visiting the Isle of Mull now for the last 10 years. With its beautiful landscape and unique wildlife, it provides a sense of escapism and comfort. 🏖 🌲 🦅

There is a beautiful simplicity and rawness about the island that leaves me captivated each time. I realise now maybe I visit repeatedly to seek out that feeling of being vulnerable and exposed to the elements.

Sometimes we have to take ourselves out of the normal conventions of life and experience vulnerabilities to invoke fresh ideas and put our feet back firmly on the ground.

I am very lucky in my job to be working with entrepreneurs who continue to push boundaries and boldly challenge the ordinary. What are your inspirations? Is it a family holiday, or a certain hobby? In what ways do you think this helps achieve your goals?

Let me know in the comments! 👀

📍 Your best business investment? 📈

I want to discuss getting the most from your Accountant.

You may agree that Accountants should be regarded as a business investment helping you to achieve results over a period of time.✔

Looking at your pains and problems with you and helping find solutions 💡

Of course regular Management Accounts are key to this which can help define KPI’S and encourage greater business decisions.

Or, you may be looking for a potential business exit and looking to shape your business into a saleable unit over 3-5 years.

Yes, you can still pay for a business coach AND an Accountant, but why?
We advise around your numbers 🔍After all, we are in the numbers game and can interpret these for you to act upon now.

We can help you with all this, including looking after your Accounts and Taxes, for less than the cost of you employing a junior clerk❕

Not just about the numbers 🔢✍

It’s difficult for numbers to tell a story. Yes, they may tell you if a business has made money historically but there are so many contributing factors to get to that point. How does a business owner interpret this information beneficially?

How can we possibly turn these end-of-year totals into a beginning, middle and end? There is no commentary, no discussions, no interpretation, no nothing. You can't tell a story can you? 🤔

And you can't make that real connection with numbers because they are… just numbers. 🤷‍♂️

Without that connection, there’s no room for ideas, ingenuity, or brainstorming, you miss opportunities due to conforming everything to a narrow field of view for no other reason than ‘something that has to be done each year’ and you grudgingly pay that monthly nominal fee.

But this isn't how it should be, in our opinion. It shouldn't be about ‘a year end figure’ and instantaneously forgotten. It should be about providing a service for the now, in real time, sharing stories, and providing a sound board. 💡

Going on a journey with a team that you are Accountable to. A team that shows up and is proud to be part of your business story.

Come and be accountable to us. Book your discovery call through the link in the comment section.
