Are You Recognising Yourself In These Situations?

Is Your Business Vision Turned Into A Nightmare And You Can’t See The Light At The End Of The Tunnel?

When you started your business, you had some great expectations and plans but as you worked in your business the problems and challenges turned out to be harder and nastier than you expected. As your business began there was a specific vision in line with what you worked for and built your organisation towards.

The practices and strategies used in the organisation were in line with this ultimate vision, and you structured your business towards the vision. However, somewhere along the line, your vision was corrupted and somewhat lost. The commitments you made became more time-consuming, costs ran over your head, underestimated and miscalculated, and projects went negative, straying you from your goals and rewards.

Really, do you have a bad job or a business that needs some serious re-shaping and reinvention?

• Are you a business owner, entrepreneur or CEO of a small to medium-sized business who works excessively long hours and despite being determined cannot efficiently execute their own priorities?
• Has your business been based on random unplanned activities or a well-rounded strategy?
• Are you struggling to motivate your employees? Do you often find that after you invest your time and effort in their training and education, it’s practically impossible to retain them for a long period of time?
• Do you know what is really happening in your business? Are you neglecting your most important priorities in life?
• Why are you settling for less than you are worth?
• Are you always last in line for rewards? Do you pay yourself first or last

Are You Proactive Or Reactive In Setting Objectives And Measuring Results In Your Business?

Can you answer yes to any of these questions? If you can, then you need help and should consider Effecta’s coaching and consulting services, which can be tailored to suit your business needs.

• Are your KPIs improving or declining?
• Does your USP generate a sufficient number of quality leads or does your prospecting stagnate and phone lines remain silent?
• Are you aware of your business’s critical success factors and most important numbers?
• What are you doing to improve them?
• Are you a business owner struggling with effective time management, delegation, team building, and communication, and therefore needing someone to guide you through the process?
• How often do you analyse financial statements and ratios? Do you procrastinate with your finances?
• Do you have clearly written SMART goals for the business and your life? Are they aligned with a meaningful blueprint for your success?
• Are you at the cause or the effect side of the equation in life? Is your management style proactive or reactive?
• Have you identified the missing ingredient that, if provided, could make a huge difference?
• Are you willing to reinvent the person you are at the present moment, step out of your comfort zone, stretch yourself and achieve more in the process of becoming someone more valuable?
• Are you clear on your success resolution and on the things and events that could skyrocket it or break it down?

You Are in Control

Only you can answer WHAT is important to you and only you can make the choices based on your thinking and according to your plans. This is your life journey and nobody can plan it and do it better than you do! Effecta can assist you in arriving at the most appropriate solution to your unique situation. The final blueprint and master plan however will be yours truly!

Decisions and commitments will only work for you if they represent something that you hold important.

So, what are your biggest and most important goals, and objectives? What do you love to do? What inspires you?

If You Are An Entrepreneur In A Newly Established Business, What Is Your Core Priority?

You will need to answer the questions below to determine if you are lacking direction, self-confidence or self-worth:

• Do you need help and guidance in organizing work procedures, job descriptions, business models, and strategies that will enable you to achieve the desired outcomes you set for yourself?

• Do you have a clearly defined vision and mission for your organisation that will guide you and your team to a higher purpose?

• Do you clearly communicate your plans and intentions to your employees, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders in every communication and interaction with them?

• What is your blueprint for success? Was a viability study performed before you committed your time, energy, and money?

• What is your success strategy and why should your prospective clients buy it from you and not your competitors?

• What is your Unique Selling Proposition and can you justify it in practice?

• WHO IS YOUR IDEAL CUSTOMER? How can you meet their expectations and satisfy their needs?

• Do you have a CLEAR MARKETING PLAN to attract and retain more of your ideal customers?

• If you know that something needs to be done, are you delaying while sitting on the fence, or are you taking an active role in creating something special?

• Are you procrastinating in some important areas? Is there a pattern for such behaviour? What is the cost of it to you, your business and your life?

What is the root cause of not achieving the results that you want in your business?

The most common reasons why people procrastinate are a lack of self-confidence and self-worth. In other words, fear of failure and fear of losing the customer. Immediately, you play small, you trade-off opportunity, sacrifice your values and really compete on price while your self-worth diminishes. You feel frustrated knowing that you deserve better, but you continue to deliver even when your earnings are low and your margins are insufficient. Who is to blame?

Are you a technician or a smart business owner with all the ideas and tools to take the business to the top? Furthermore, knowing you are good at something and communicating your value are two different things. If you are good at what you are doing, and I know you are, find the most effective way to communicate your proposition to your prospects and existing buyers.

Draw the line and decide that your future and your business are more important than a few unprofitable and time-demanding clients.

How about the structure and good universal business principles?

• Do you have a business and operational plan in place?
• Do you know your legal responsibilities, compliance issues, taxation and accounting requirements, and workplace or employment legislation?
• Do you have a plan B for every situation that may go against your expectations,  a reserve option for those tricky situations that always seem to arise?
• Do you have a strategy for a clean exit?

Finally, but most importantly, who is your trusted adviser?

Who is your sounding board?

Who is the person in your business that you can trust to lead you forward?
