Even in this year of amazing flag-waving opportunity, there seems to be nothing but doom and gloom in the papers and on the news. Well … as we’ve come to learn from the Levenson enquiry – it’s the dirt and the gloom that seems to sell papers.
Well, as long as you’re not selling papers let’s ignore the grey skies (difficult I know) and look optimistically to bettering our businesses by working together for growth.
Consider this:
It’s Spring. Your lawn is looking patchy after a wet Autumn and dry Winter. The moss has set in – what do you do?
Do you sit and wait to see if it improves – no you don’t. You go speak to someone who knows about lawns, take their advice, buy the right stuff, do a little extra work (but with the adrenaline now pumped up by fresh ambition) and this Summer, you’ll enjoy the fruits of your labour.
For SME business owners and managers, the ‘day job’ is not far removed from this scenario.
There are people you can ask, advice you can take, and tools you can apply.
Janet Goode is one such person with experience and contacts at her disposal. Janet is a long-standing member of the executive, a Notary and a Partner at Whitehead Monckton, solicitors in Maidstone , Kent
Janet has an excellent understanding of SME activity and needs in the South East, locally, nationally and in its role as corridor to Europe . Company and Banking Law are her specialties – company acquisitions, disposals and reorganisation; shareholder arrangements and corporate refinancing are some of the advisory strength she delivers, helping businesses of all persuasion, understanding their needs whether a national bank or family run firm.
Consensus now has us in a double dip recession, but it is a ‘W’ shaped dip with a flat base and we are in the 3rd Wave (below). This is the best time to make a difference – a difference to your business and a difference to you.
Janet has been impressed with intime PROFIT’s approach to supporting business owners and managers with methods and procedures to help release profits that are trapped (for many reasons), just waiting for technique, impetus, fresh thinking, market direction to help unlock them.
Through Whitehead Monckton, Janet is to establish a ‘partnership service’ to provide coaching skills to help corporate clients in their particular time of need.
There is an enormous amount of talent in and around Kent
There’s also the opportunity to sign up to more focussed, one to one support.
Like the lawn, you have to do something yourself. Make the first move and ask for your FREE 1 to 1 meeting. We can introduce you to the techniques and methodology that could help unlock your own profitability.
Why now?
At this stage on the Economic Clock (above), you are in the best position to ride 'the third wave':
re-organise the way you work;
re-evaluate strengths and weaknesses;
apply the methodology to improve and manage sales
– do this now and you’ll be ready to pick up on the benefits of general economic growth.
As larger businesses and manufacturers adjust, trim and re-direct assets, the changes they make have a knock on effect, down UK
As their needs change, so your opportunities grow.
But you have to make changes too, changes that will enable you to take advantage of those moving goalposts we call ‘market opportunity’.
Don’t wait to see what happens in Greece
