Are You Working On Your Business or Just In It?

Many business owners spend so much time in the day-to-day that they rarely step back to focus on the bigger picture. But working on your business is essential if you want sustainable growth and freedom.

Here are 5 key activities that make the difference:

• Prepare a business plan and update it annually (ideally at year-end or the start of the new financial year).

• Create a budget and 12-month forecast alongside your plan—and review it each year.

• Report against your plan and budget monthly.

• Communicate results and direction clearly with your owners and team.

• Hold a monthly 1–2 hour meeting to review performance, structure, risks, and opportunities.

This doesn’t need to take over your week. With:

• 1–2 hours each week,

• Half a day each month, and

• 1–2 days annually off-site,

…you can stay on top of your strategy and ensure your business is serving you—not the other way around.

At Figuration, we help business owners put these disciplines into practice—providing independent advice, accountability, and support to keep you focused on what really drives results.
