Spring is upon us and is the season of new beginnings. Fresh buds bloom, animals awaken, and the earth seems to come alive again. Farmers plant their crops, downtown streets begin to fill with crowds, temperatures begin to rise, and iced coffee becomes seasonally appropriate. As we emerge from the cold together, I have one question for you: How will you maximize your momentum during this season?
Often in my career in the finance industry, I’ve had the pleasure of helping my clients do a little spring cleaning, or having check-in conversations about their business. These conversations usually are focused around business growth and plateaus that often follow. These plateaus occur when periods of steady increase suddenly level off. There are three words I use to describe this situation: progression, regression and stuck. Take the last 12 months for example, and ask where is your business today? Is it the same, better or going backward? Is your business stuck?
Don’t worry, there is a positive message here. Business owners, usually, are the ones with the idea, the passion and the drive behind the business’s growth and success. Their business continues to grow faster and faster due to their idea coming to life, adding more complexities to everyday operations. Suddenly, business owners find themselves trying to handle taxes, accounting, payroll, lending, billing, insurance, development, expansion, human resources, etc. So, now who’s driving? Stop trying to do everything yourself, and get back to building your business. Let the Acworth Business Association (ABA) help you.
The ABA is one of the largest and most active consortium of professionals in the area. We can help you expand your team, and put you back in the driver’s seat. We have CPAs, insurance agents, payroll companies, merchant services, billing, lending, lawyers, financial advisers and so much more.
