Quick and Quirky Business Asessment

Way up here in the northern hemisphere it's slowly creeping toward autumn, a time of year to take stock of what's working and to let go of what's not. Personally I would like to keep the sunshine and let go of the rain but that's another story.

Down in the southern hemisphere spring is in the air;
a time to plant new seeds. Having lived in both worlds I
know that the beginning of spring and autumn are opposite poles of
the same coin. They both provide an opportunity to look, evaluate
and change.

Don't start yawning!
I've made it easy and fun by providing a quick self-assessment tool.

This wee self-assessment is fun and will help you to review your business and gain some insights about where to go and what to do next. Answer honestly for the most accurate feedback.

Write a number between one and four for each statement below.
1- strongly disagree
2- disagree
3. agree
4. Strongly agree

__ I am happy with the stability and growth of my business.
__ I spend a lot of time on strategic planning and future goals.
__ I have new projects and products that I am actively developing.
__ I have enough cash flow to easily pay my bills each month.
__ I clearly understand the financial side of my business.
__ I have good employees doing most of the administrative work.
__ I know how to find excellent employees and keep them.
__ I am happy with the amount of sales coming in.
__ My marketing is bringing in the kind of customers I want.
__ My customers are happy and referring other people to me.
__ I know who my perfect customers are and how to reach them.
__ My business is supporting my healthy lifestyle balance.
__ I can go on a holiday or vacation and money would still come in.

Add up your scores.
If you have a low score you may be like many micro business owners, running the whole show yourself without an awareness of
how to develop all the areas of your business.

Low scores can also mean that your business may not be
accomplishing the outcome you want. Ok,, so this is an opportunity to focus on the areas of your business that need more
help. Heelp!

Even a business that seems to be doing ok can end up with low
scores. Your business may be making money and helping people, but
it may not growing the way you want it to or it may not be supporting
your life in a positive way.

If you scored between 40-52 you may be more on track. Ask yourself
what it would it take to move all the threes to fours? Look at
your strengths and see how you can leverage them to help grow in
the weaker areas.

From Self-employment to a Real Business

I was one of those people who developed many marketable
skills and found it empowering and liberating to hang up my shingle
and have people pay me for what I enjoyed doing. I thought I had
more freedom and creativity than those poor people who had to go to
work for someone else in an office all day.

Then someone gave me"The Cash Flow Quadrant" by Kiyasaki and I woke up! I thought I had a business, but I realized I was only an
employee,stuck in the treadmill of working for myself with no
benefits, no paid vacations and no way to grow past a certain level
because I was doing everything myself and had no way to leverage
myself.

This is the myth of self-employment!

If this is you, then you probably scored fairly low on the
assessment. You may be in the process of switching from
self-employment to a real business and putting systems in place. If
that's the case your numbers will reflect that as well.

Are you willing to do whatever it takes?   I am.
