Position Yourself to Beat the Odds!
Are you…
- Running a successful business or is your business running you?
- Working too hard and earning too little?
- Spending too much time in your business and not enough with your family?
- Frustrated that you aren’t making the kind of progress you had hoped for?
- Anxious about taking time off because your business can’t run well without you?
- Unclear about how to take your business to the next level?
If you answered “yes” to one or more of the preceding questions, you’re not alone. Business owners everywhere struggle with these and many other issues. They feel STUCK and don’t know how to overcome the obstacles that are holding them back. Others know what they need to do to move forward, but for one reason or another, find themselves unable to take the necessary steps.
The reality is that the odds are stacked against business owners. Every year, thousands of businesses fail in Canada. Look at these statistics…
- Largest number of new Canadian small businesses established in one year: Approximately 115,000 in 2005.
- Smallest number of new small businesses established in one year: Approximately 90,000 in 2002.
- Largest number of small businesses that disappeared in a single year: Approximately 100,000 in 2006
- Net average of small businesses established from 2002 to 2007: 15,000
Not very encouraging for anyone thinking of launching their own business. In the US there are 544,000 bankruptcies annually. That’s 1,490 each day, 62 each hour, more than 1 every minute. In about the time it took you to read this, another business closed its doors. 85% of all new businesses fold within the first 5 years. Why? Because most entrepreneurs fail to plan, focus, delegate, and create the necessary systems to create and sustain growth. As a result, they suffer from fatigue, burn-out, and lack of sustainable income.
Remember: behind every failed business lie the shattered dreams and aspirations of an owner who had hoped for a very different outcome. The impact on the owner and his/her family can often be quite devastating. Stress, marital conflict, financial pressure, and depression are just a sampling of the symptoms business owners share. Far too many well-intentioned people end up as another statistic. The odds got the better of them. It doesn’t have to be this way!
