Do any of these apply to you?
If you’re nodding your head yes to any of these, you could use our “Inner Game of Business Growth” workbook.
The family business. Family drama plays out in the workplace.
You treat employees like family – often a dysfunctional family.
You interact with customers and suppliers in a very casual way. “Need a rush job? Sure, I can bump other people.” Or, “I’ll come in on the weekend to get it done.”
Your change orders are verbal. You often don’t charge for the extra work.
You are so busy doing the work you don’t send out invoices on time. Or follow up to make sure they are paid.
When customers come in, they expect to see you, not your employees. You must always interrupt what you are doing to put in face time with them.
Your bookkeeping is viewed as a necessity for preparing tax returns, not as a regular management tool.
You and your managers get together after hours to work things out for the next day.
