How Do I Know If I Need a Business ADVISOR?
What is Business Advising?
Business advisement from experienced professionals can take your business from where it is now to where you want it to be.
A business advisor will assist and guide the business owner in growing their business by helping them clarify the vision of their business and how it fits in with their personal goals. Fitting the business vision in with the business owner’s personal goals is a step that is often missed by most business advisors, who often only focus on the business goals. In so doing, they are omitting the goals of the business owner altogether.
A great business owner seeks to understand why reaching business growth goals is important to them personally, and the impact it will have on their life. After all, the business owner ultimately determines the speed and passion in which the goal is met (if ever), and if it is not linked to the business owner’s personal dreams, goals and plans for themselves, there is no burning reason why getting to that business goal is critical.
After clarifying where a business owner would like to take their business, business advising will help strategize and prioritize what goals and strategies are needed to help progress the business closer to its goal. A business advisor will meet with the business owner regularly, either weekly or monthly, to keep them on track to the commitments made during the past coaching session.
How Do I Know if Business Advising Is Right for Me?
Before you start searching for a consultant for your business, begin by identifying your needs as thoroughly as possible. For example, will you need regular monthly accounting and/or bookkeeping assistance or only at tax time? Or will you need on-call emergency assistance for IT related issues?
By nature, most small business owners are hands-on DIY types that prefer to be involved in every aspect of their business, from deciding on the type of coffee machine to doing the company tax returns. Statistics show that most business owners find it difficult to delegate tasks to employees or outside advisors. However, if as a business owner too much of your time is being spent on non-core business activities it is probably time to ask the question if your small business needs to hire small business advisement services?
In the startup or early growth phase of a business being a jack-of-all-trades business owner is often necessary due to financial or other constraints. However, as a business matures there are many needs of a temporary nature that are better served by experts in the discipline. The ever-increasing complexities of information technology, the tax code, and the regulations and other legal aspects surrounding a business can be very difficult for a business owner to stay abreast of.
