Deciding to own your business is something you did at some point in time. Sometimes you would not be able to think about how you did it or how you reached this point.
It is interesting when you do reflect on why you went into business to see if it has worked out well for you or not.
Sometimes hard to do – many of us are not 100% of the why so we do not often reflect as we just get on with it; go to work, pay the bills, do the BAS, market etc...
We do not have all your answers – that is part of the point of this course. The answers exist to your next step or your growth plan and direction, part of the challenge is knowing the questions to ask.
The questions are sometimes the challenge – until you know the question you can of course not secure an answer.
This monthly session we will do together will help you see the whole picture and where your gaps may well be.
