Working ON your business versus Working IN in it
Are you currently working in or on your business and is this setting you up to achieve your growth goals?
Hands up if you often find yourself buried in the day-to-day running of your business? Sometimes as an owner you have no option other than to get on with it yourself. However, we all know working in your business is a constant juggling act between delivering your services, conducting sales and marketing, hiring, training (you get the gist). They're essential to getting the job done and earning revenue, but can come at the cost of the bigger picture like working on your business.
Things like:
Goal setting
Strategic planning
Developing your systems and processes
We see the goal of a business owner being to build and take their business to the next level, ultimately expanding its value. These roles require you to recognise and then make use of opportunities that come your way, and while it can be a scary thing to hand over your pride and joy, you can really only navigate these opportunities when you're in the headspace of levelling up your business.
The line between working in and on your business is certainly blurry but once you find the right solution for you and your business it can strike you with the perfect balance. Setting you up to expand your business into new opportunities and achieve your growth goals!
So how can you be able to work on your business? Some questions to ask yourself:
