Did you know:
- 20% of small businesses don’t make it past the first year
- 50% don’t make it past 5 years
- 75% are no longer running after 15 years
The odds aren’t the best, but it’s not random. YOU have the power to skew the odds in your favour!
Something I share is this: Building a business is like building a bonfire.
Lighting the bonfire itself is fun. You can see and feel the flames. But it will eventually fizzle out into embers if you aren’t simultaneously gathering more firewood
Lighting the bonfire in your business is the work that gets more results. Replying emails and phone calls, lead generation, making sales
Gathering more firewood in your business is the progressive and innovative work behind the scenes. Systemisation, nurturing relationships, personal development.
In business, it’s not just about chasing more results, it’s about building the foundations that the results rely on.
