• You’reworkingtoohard,andtoomanyhours?

Ifso,don’tworry.You’renotalone.Businessishard.Andforsmallbusinessowners,itcanbelonely.It’shardwhetheryou’rejuststartingout,orhaveanes-tablishedbusiness.
Business Owners’ Common FrustrationsHave you ever felt like:
Just consider these facts:• AccordingtotheU.S.SmallBusinessAdministration(SBA),40percent
ofnewsmallbusinessesfailwithin2years.That’sanalarmingfailurerateamongststartupbusinesses.
• TheSBAalsoreportsthat60percentofsmallbusinessesthatfailareprofit-ablewhentheyfail.Bythetimemostbusinessesrealizetheyareintrouble,itisoftentoolatetogethelp.Thebusinesscanbetooupside-downforalendinginstitutionorinvestortotaketherisk.
• Onapositivenote,businessesthatactivelyplan—meaningtheyplanandmeasureagainsttheplan—grow30percentfaster.AcomprehensiveresearchstudybyCranfieldUniversity,“DoBusinessPlansAddValue?”discoveredbusinessesthatactivelyplangrow30percentfaster.
Let’s consider some of the reasons for these alarming statistics...

• Aconfusionbetweenprofitsandcash,anddelayingtrackingcashuntilit’sacriticalproblem—smallbusinessstartupsarepronetosimplyrunningoutofcash
• Aninabilitytobuildaprofitablebusinessmodelwithanunderstand-ingofrevenue,expensedrivers,andproductmargin
• Failuretocreateandcommunicateconcisevaluepropositionsinaclearandcompellingway
• Norealdifferentiationinthemar-ket,whichmakespricetheonlycompetitiveadvantage
• Emotionalpricinginsteadofstrate-gicpricing;reactingtogutfeelandemotionratherthandata
• Notcommunicatingwithcus-tomerstounderstandtheirneeds,leadingtoalackofunderstandingofthemarket
• Lackofstrategicbusinessplanning
• Rapidexpansionleadingtooverspendingandrunningoutofcash
• Alackofsystemsandprocessesforoperations,aswellassalesandmar-keting(bothareimportant)
Itdoesn’tgetanyeasierafterfiveyears.Growthbringsopportunity,butalsoanewsetofproblemstotackle.
The challenges facing the es-tablished business
Businessesthathavebeenestablishedforfiveormoreyearshavetypicallygonethroughaninitialhighgrowthphase,butwithoutstrategicplanning,theycanstarttostagnate.
Someofthecommonproblemswefindinclude:
• Constantcashflowissuesduetothedemandsofhighoverheadandworkingcapitalneeds
• Slowgrowthandlackofstrategiestogrowsales
• Downwardpressureonpriceandmargins
• Workingharderwithoutseeingre-sults
• Consistentlyfallingshortofprofittargets
More than tax planning
Taxplanningalonewillnothelpabusi-nessgrowandrealizebetterprofitandmargins.Taxplanningiscriticaltohelpminimizetaxes,butdoesnothelpbuildstrategicprogramstogrowabusiness.
Realbusinessgrowth—growththatleadstoincreasedvaluation—comesfromincreasingrevenues,grossmargin,andnetprofit.
The reasons so many small businesses fail

The solution is strategy: LeanPlanning,forecasting,budgeting,andplanningforcashflowneeds.
However,thiscanbefrustratingwork,forreasonssuchas:
• Financialstatementsarehardtoreadandinterpret—theydon’tseemlikebusinessmanagementtools.Busi-nessownersoftentellus,“Iknowmybusiness.Idon’tunderstandhowthenumberscanhelpmemakebetterdecisions.”
• It’shardtomakespendingdecisions,orbusinessgrowthdecisions.Busi-nessownerstellusthatit“feelsliketrialanderror.”
• Youknowyouraccountanthastheinformation,butit’shardtoknowwhatquestionsyouneedtoasktoaccessthatinformation.
• Planningseemslikeagoodidea,but“Idon’tknowhowtodoitinawaythatwillhelpmybusiness.”
• “IknowIneedtosetgoalsandmon-itorprogress,butIdon’tknowhow,andIdon’thavetime.”
• “Ineedalender-readybusinessplan,butIdon’tknowwhatformattouse.”
