Business Life Cycle
To SME Owners
It is always Important to look at where your business is in what we call the BLC, trying to identify where you are, is the trick. To do this set certain benchmarks, on those key areas you believe are
critical.
Here's a few pointers-
-your strategy challenges, the issues that are affecting your growth,
-what business controls do you have in place, or don't
-do you need more capital to grow your sales
-the structure of your business
-are you and your team becoming complacent/arrogant
To name a few, each stage of the BLC has it's own Challengers, over the years I have developed a BLC model, which helps me focus very very quickly on how to react/ act when looking at the big picture in Positioning businesses for BETTER RESULTS.
