Over the past 18 months, businesses have had a real tough time of it. Yes, the P word…pandemic. It’s shaken leaders, companies and employees to their core, upsetting the order of things and making us ask difficult questions.
But now is not the time to be derailed, we must remain positive and look to the opportunities presented to us by this tumultuous time. Let’s use it as a period of self-reflection and growth!
An article we read recently had some really fascinating statistics and insights. Let me share them with you.
Did you know, at the start of 2021, the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) estimated that 250,000 SMEs would fold this year unless they had help? 23% of small firms said they had cut staffing levels. And, rather gloomily, 58% of businesses forecasted a decrease in profitability.
The struggle is real, don’t get me wrong…but we must look inwards and get back to our “why?”, the reason we’re doing this in the first place.
What you’ll find, if you have good advice on your side, is you’ll approach the future not with a gloomy disposition, but a renewed passion.
Every day we help leaders stop, and think “AHA!”. That lightbulb moment is a revelation, let me tell you. It’s hard to see it sometimes when you’re in the grips of despondency, thinking that this is the end of the road.
In reality, you’re not on the brink of ruin, you’re on the bring of growth!
The opportunity is there to realign, refocus and revitalise your sense of purpose.
Just recently, we worked with a health clinic that had significant room for improvement.
We grew their patient numbers by 400% and saved them thousands through some savvy financial restructuring.
Kickr helped them regain their identity and stayed by their side every step of the way, acting as a sounding board, a mentor, and…more importantly, as a friend.
There are a lot of businesses out there right now who need a friend.
Well, there’s a couple of pretty awesome people here, so give us a call and we’ll see what we can do!
