Bring Your Business Bouncing Back

Business not going quite the way you want?  Here’s how to bring your business bouncing back.

Here’s a scary fact for you: 90% of startups fail within the first two years. There are a lot of things that contribute to why you might fail within these two years, including a lack of money, resources, support and the most important thing – reality.

If you aren’t realistic with what you are going to achieve and set your targets higher than you know that you could achieve, you are letting not only the people around you down, but also yourself. This doesn’t mean that you can’t try again; maybe at a different angle, another idea altogether or perhaps in another year, when you’ve got your thoughts together a bit.

However, you could just not go down that track at all and fight to save a business that you have faith in … or put in measures to prevent these actions taking hold in the first place.

Get Rid Of The Non-Contributors

If you have hired people to help you develop your business, you need to consider how much they’re actually contributing to its success.

If you know that a lot of the progression has been down to them and their work, it’s going to be another factor which is adding to the strain of the business – not them.

However, if you know that they’re not pulling as much weight as you had put onto them to do, it’s time to cut them out. It’s much the same as cutting toxic friends out of your life because they’re dragging you down personally – this time, it’s just the business version of it.

You can’t keep people afloat at the risk of your own company. It’s not good for you or what you are doing. Blog posts such as Back To Basics: Simple Mistakes That Are Crippling Your Business can give a lot of insight into mistakes such as these.

Unfortunately, a lot of employees don’t see your business or startup in the same way that you do – to them, it’s a source of income, to you, it’s your dream. You can’t mix and match the two and expect them to feel the same way and put in the same amount of effort that you are.

Put Your Time Into Revenue-Generating Jobs

At the opposite end of the scale sits the question of what you are doing and how much you are contributing to your work.

There are jobs such as admin, accounting, printing and so many others which can be outsourced or simply done by somebody else – there is no need for you to do them unless you’re in the very early stages of business. These are jobs that don’t directly lead to the revenue that your business needs to succeed. Outsourcing shouldn’t be seen as failing; there are professionals which are available online to do the job for you for half the price in half the time. Who can argue with that logic? It’s a no-brainer; you need to invest in those who you know are relying on your money with less security available in their work, meaning that they will get the job done. These are the freelancers. Then there are other companies,

It’s a no-brainer; you need to invest in those who you know are relying on your money with less security available in their work, meaning that they will get the job done. These are the freelancers. Then there are other companies, such as Xerox for your printing needs, which can offer you a service which will beat the costs that have been dragging your company down and take away the time that you are spending doing it. This doesn’t mean that you have to outsource everything to do with your company, but spare a thought for the talent that’s sitting outside of it waiting to be utilised.

Focus On The Future

There are innovation companies which are there to help you. The future is bright for many startups if they know what it holds and can get ahead of the trend.

Those who work in innovation are able to pick up trends and match them with what you’ve got to sell – meaning that you can forecast great things for yourself. A lot of people wait to see what they can do themselves and wait to fall on luck, but as serendipitous as you may think you are, it doesn’t work the whole time.  

Work with what has been proven and is being dished out to other companies; by working in tandem (even if you don’t realise that you are, necessarily) with those who are in the same line as work as you, you are propelling yourselves further into the realm that you need to be in to keep your business alive and thriving. Just keep at it.
