Business management is an offensive and defensive play

Most business owners have felt like they are in the pot with the pasta ie:

1. The heat is on and there seems to be NO way out from being cooked along the way

2. In a jumbled and claustrophobic atmosphere

3. confused and sweaty from all the activity… But don’t know where you are in the mess

Well you are not alone, I’ve been there too.

The Struggles

started my first business just before the GFC when the world became my oyster. It was a fantastic time in the world when there was so much opportunity it was really easy to make a go of it in business and just about anyone could do alright.

The GFC definetly sorted the serious players out from the not so serious… Although it still took out some serious players also.

My point… business has become a lot more difficult in the past decade and a lot of business owners are scratching their heads to figure out how to survive let alone thrive.

Technology has become very sophisticated and the strategies to use these new fangled tools have also become more sophisticated.

 

In this age of confusion, sophistication and also plenty (too many if you ask me) we’ve found that simplicity and process will beat the competition every time.

We also believe in helping people rather than just making money as easily and as quickly as possible. Don’t get me wrong there are plenty of ways to make plenty of money quickly and easily in strategy consultanting and digital marketing (some of our regular services), but we are not interested in just pushing products and services that we know sell, and that sell really well. We are in business to partner with people to properly diagnose the root cause of the roadblock to their business growth.

We lead businesses into growth, and we through the growth cycle and out into continuously growth outcomes.
