Delivered From a 3-D Business - How To Be Set Free From Delays, Difficulties and Dead Ends
18/08/2020
I talk to potential business owners and even those who have been in business for at least 3 years and discover that they thought business ownership was going to be easy. Even though they have heard the statistics that start up businesses don’t survive the first two years of business and that government data shows that only 5 out of 10 new businesses survive for 5 years, many are still convinced that it’s a pretty easy road to tow.

Key Performance Indicators (or KPI’s) are specific measurements of various parts of your business activity. They are used to check performance against targets or as benchmarks or to monitor trends.

Much like the dials on the dashboard of your car, KPI’s work best when they are few in number.
There are literally thousands of things going on underneath the hood, but if those three or four things showing on the dials are pointing in the right direction, chances are the car will reach its destination.

You see, if you run a small business you do need to be constantly revising your business plans, and you need to make it an on-going planning process.
