    Quick Facts

    7 Reasons Businesses Get Stuck

    Lack of Freedom

    Long hours, no vacations and carrying all of the business responsibilities on owner’s shoulders. Time is your most scarce resource.

    Not in Control

    You are not running the business, instead the business is running you.

    Measly Profit

    Profitability is slim and unpredictable. Owners find it difficult to take a regularly salary because cash flow is a mine field. And taxes and compliance are eating your lunch.

    People Pain

    Babysitting staff, daily drama, nobody listens or follows through.

    Diminishing Growth

    More sales are made, BUT as the business grows new sales diminish in comparison to customer attrition. It takes more effort to go a shorter distance.

    Spinning Wheels

    Despite your efforts it does not feel like you are making real, measurable change. The magic you used to have seems to have dissipated.

    Losing Competitive Edge

    Today’s business environment is a race against time, and your company may be losing the battle. Some business is always ready to take your spot.
