3 Month Business Refresh Challenge
I have a friend, who is a high end personal trainer, and one of his most popular offers is 12 week body transformations. He tells me that most clients complain of being too busy to get started, even though they really want to make a change. He helps them to navigate any obstacles and begin as soon as they can. When they successfully complete the programme though, they all say they wish they’d done it sooner!
This is because they realise that change doesn’t take as long as they feared, and it’s a lot simpler than they imagined because:
1. They had a clear start, middle, and end point to the task at hand.
2. They had someone filter the right information to focus on and show them how to apply it.
3. It’s so much easier when someone is guiding you, plus, they had accountability and ongoing support.
Know and Do have also found similar results in working with hundreds of SMEs over the last 10+ years. We’ve coached many business owners to refresh their thinking and develop new short-term business plans to reboot their businesses giving them more energy and vitality and helping to provide a foundation that they can continue to build upon. We’ve also heard business owners delaying starting because they argue about how are how they supposed to find the time and headspace to refresh their business plan, when they’re running flat out and fighting to stay afloat? When the business is back to ‘normal’ I’ll reset the plan they tell us. Normal of course never comes.
These are uncertain and challenging times for many SMEs as highlighted in a 2023 report on the UK SME landscape by Vista Print. It showed ‘four in five (79%) SMEs have had to change their business plan or expect to in the near future.’ As a consequence stress levels have increased with ‘60% of owners stating their stress levels have increased due to the [current] economic landscape.’
During the pandemic, we worked with businesses in short sprints of around 3 months, as at the time it was difficult to forecast too far ahead. We found that businesses really liked these 3 month sprints as they kept them focused, gave them something they could control, and it felt like they were making demonstrable gains. We’ve adapted this model and designed a new 3 month challenge that would enable owners to take stock, review their current situation, think through what they wanted to achieve, and then start to action it.
The 3 Month Business Refresh Challenge can be delivered 1-2-1 or in small groups and is offered online or face-to-face. The challenge will help you to:
Understand the current state of your business.
Review existing processes and systems and how well they are working.
Create clear targets and goals to aim for.
Identify your ideal customers.
Think about what success means to you personally, professionally, and financially.
Be accountable and get this stuff outlined, mapped and put into an action plan.
Be re-energised about your business and focused on key activities that deliver the right results.
Like a body transformation it’s not for everyone, but if you want to see real results and start making change a reality, then sign up today for more information about when the next programme is starting.
