When I work with clients we often start with identifying what parts of the business need some work. The first thing that will help is to determine what you want to work on. A simple exercise that facilitates this is to look at the three major areas of your business:
- Sales/Marketing
- Financial Aspects
- People (including yourself)
This helps stimulate the brain for where you want to focus. Think about if there is an area in increasing revenue (sales and marketing) that you need to work on. Or is there a place you can be more efficient such as expense (finances). Or maybe your time management or an employee that needs to be replaced (people).
And if you have multiple parts to your business or a new function you want to launch you can find what you want to work on there.
