Why some businesses don’t survive or ever reach their potential, and other’s do

Why do most small business owners fail to achieve the success they dreamed about and end up virtually trapped in their businesses, struggling with long working hours and mediocre results?

The statistics* relating to small and medium sized businesses indicates that running your business successfully is extremely challenging:

· The average working hours for Australian business owners is 56 hours per week
· 60% to 80% of businesses cease to exist within five years of start-up
· 46% of all business owners make less than $100,000 per year

From our experience, business owners make several critical mistakes that limit their success and business survival:

· Short-term focus on “fire-fighting” rather than focus on what’s important
· Reactive sales & marketing tactics
· Lacking understanding and control of key performance indicators
· Ineffective delegation to staff due to lack of business structure

It doesn’t have to be this way.
