As a successful Managing Director, you know better than anyone just how lonely the top job can be. That sense of isolation is compounded when the business you are running is your own. No one else shares the same sense of responsibility for what needs to be done. No one else has the same vested interest in the success of your business that you have. To some extent your self confidence rises and falls with the ups and downs of the business cycle. But there is no one to whom you can really turn with any degree of confidence to share the burden.

If you have ever felt that you’re losing control of your business, or that you are becoming the victim of circumstances beyond your control then I can assure you that you are not the first owner MD to have experienced this and you will not be the last. As a business grows and the activity levels ramp up there is more and more that needs to be done. Suddenly, your role can become unsustainable as your time and attention gets spread over an ever increasing range of issues. Paradoxically, this can actually be more of a problem with a very successful, fast growing business than it is with a business that is struggling to realise its potential, though the issues confronting a business struggling to make headway against market and economic headwinds are not to be underestimated.

If any of this rings true for you, then I can help. If you spend too much time each month wondering whether you will have enough cash to make payroll, wondering which suppliers you should prioritise for payment (or which ones might not notice if you don’t pay them for a couple more weeks) then you should give me a call. If you’re just not making the headway you thought you would, if the buzz has gone out of running your own business, if you’re just not making the sort of living you hoped you would and are starting to wonder whether the struggle is really worth it then we should talk.

Of course, it might be that you have a different set of problems. Business might be booming, new clients or orders are coming thick and fast, you need larger premises, more staff…. But increasingly you find that you are struggling to stay on top of the business. And what to do first? What are the priorities and where, for that matter, can you lay hands on the sort of cash you need to fund the necessary expansion? If the very success of your business is taking it away from you, if you no longer feel as though you have it under your control, if you are increasingly worried that although everything seems fine on the surface, important matters are not being addressed and you just can’t stay on top of it all… Then pick up the phone today or drop me a quick email as I have a great proposition for you as well.
