It’s important to step back from time to time

SPENDING too much time on the day-to-day running of their business is a common barrier to growth for business owners.

With so many demands on a business owner’s time, it can be easy to lose focus on goals, make mistakes or get burned out.

SPENDING too much time on the day-to-day running of their business is a common barrier to growth for business owners.

With so many demands on a business owner’s time, it can be easy to lose focus on goals, make mistakes or get burned out. This is why it is fundamental for business owners to take a step back from time to time as it allows them time to review what they are doing and where they are going.

With this in mind and having advised business owners for many years, there is one key piece of advice that always comes home: You Need to Plan.

While it is important to keep an eye on what is happening around you, it is equally important for business owners to also look ahead in order to create a structured plan for continued growth. Historically seen by many small business owners as a ‘nice to have’ it is now increasingly becoming a highly valuable and value-adding investment and setting new goals each year as part of the planning process is a great way to chart your progress and make sure your business is always heading in the right direction.

Here at the Kettering office of Haines Watts we have witnessed a trend in recent years where local business owners are more receptive to doing this realising the importance and value it brings, especially when doing so with somebody who can take an objective stance and offer relevant suggestions.

In response to the needs of owner managers, at Haines Watts we have developed a robust and fast approach which helps business owners explore their business challenges, unlock business value and develop and execute a pragmatic plan, making it easier for them to work on, rather than in, their business.”

If any business owners would like a coffee to discuss how Haines Watts can help them grow their business then please contact Stephen Watts on 07789 961839 or email .
