The stages of growth in your business

In the funfair thrills and chills of life in Businessland 🎢, we encounter many ups and downs and loop-di-loops 🎡.

Whereabouts are you on the rollercoaster of business growth?

New beginnings

Starting your own business is an exciting time ✨. You can see the path ahead, and things are looking up 📈. You feel in control, you’re in charge 💼. You begin to put the systems for your business in place 🛠️. You can do this alone, you don’t need any help.

Growth

Your systems are in place, and you’re feeling pretty proud! 😎 The clients are coming in, and you’re enjoying the early fruits of your labour 🍎.

More growth

Things are getting pretty busy due to your growth and success 🚀. Thankfully, those excellent systems you put in place are keeping you in line and on time to deliver to your clients ⏱️.

Overtime

Hurrah for you 🎉 – you’re doing so well that half day you promised yourself on a Friday to be with the kids 👨‍👩‍👧 has had to take a back seat 🪑. It’s all for a good cause though: growth, growth, and yet more growth 🌱! A few late nights at the office 🕔 won’t matter in the long run.

Decline and…

Remember Mickey Mouse when he was the sorcerer’s apprentice 🪄, and he made the broomsticks carry water for him but then they just wouldn’t stop 🚰, and he started to drown in the overflowing water 🌊? It’s a stretched metaphor, but it works. Business is BOOMING 💥. To the extent where your excellent systems are starting to become neglected as you simply struggle to keep your head above water 🏊.

…Fall

With no time to come up for air 😤, you are literally only able to concentrate on the now ⏳ – all scheduling is out of the window 🪟 and you’re fighting fires 🔥 left, right, and centre in a valiant bid to simply stay on top of the mounting workload 📚.

HELP 🆘

VA answers

Needing help is nothing to be ashamed of 🙌. Especially when it is the result of having created a successful, thriving business 🌟. Before the plummet approaches 🪂, enlist the help of a VA, who can help you stick to the systems that work and which have set your business in such great stead 📋.
