An important question for business owners is whether they are working “in” or “on” their business?
Too often our time is consumed with firefighting, problem solving, being the person on call. At the end of the day we wonder where the time went and why our business is stuck. This is working “in” the business.
Start working “on” your business to unlock value and create success by:
• Defining company vision/value – Where are you going?
• Identifying your Strategic Advantage – Why do business with you?
• Building your Strategic Plan – How do you get there?
• Review Key Performance Indicators – How are you progressing?
