Becoming a Successful Business Owner

Are you a Business Owner in South West England?
Are you concerned about your business failing in the first 10 years?
If so, please read on.

If your business fails to grow it will most likely fail.

Research shows that 90% of businesses fail in the first 10 years often due to 2 critical factors that interact with each other

1. poor management and leadership resulting in a lack of planning and focusing on the wrong things

2. psychological weaknesses such as confidence/self-belief issues or being conflict averse

In recent CIPD [Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development] research, Leadership in SMEs, several key lessons emerged

• The type and shape of leadership must change as a business grows - what is passionate at the entrepreneurial stage must be formalised. If this does not happen competitive advantage will reduce and the business may fail.
• Business leaders must act strategically and delegate effectively even if it seems easier to stay hands on.
• Business owners need to be able to coach to develop staff and grow the business, not direct people with answers.
• Business owners need to get their customer perspective by looking in at the business, through networks that add value.
• Staying agile with new solutions is a key capability to stay in business.

A final lesson for business owners is taking time to reflect to ensure that you choose the right direction for your business, a discipline well supported through the coaching process.
