Will your future be better or worse than it has been over the past six years?
How would you characterize the current state of your business?
- Soaring – Growing by adding new products or services, increasing market share
- Building – Investing for future growth by streamlining, increasing capacity, adding new technologies
- Maintaining – Holding your own, continuing to do business as you have done it in the past
- Surviving – Under duress, fighting fires on many fronts, just getting by
- Closing – Business is not sustainable, all hope of a turnaround is lost, implementing exit strategy
Ideally, healthy businesses will move back and forth between Building and Soaring. In fact, Building is the key to sustainability.
