Too often, the Development Stage is overlooked. This is the Planning Period immediately following your decision to start your own business. During this time you begin to Develop theFramework for your idea. Polling and Feasibility Studies are essential at this stage. Start creating a Conversion Plan to leave your job, if applicable, and to properly position yourself prior to starting your own business. You have to continually develop your Value Proposition and Differentiator concepts. This would be a good time to start developing a Rough Business Plan. Ask yourself “WHY?” Then identify your “HOW”!
This is a challenging stage. More often than not, this is the deep planning period before taking the big leap. Protect yourself, your assets (including Intellectual Property!), and your business by Legally Forming Your Business. Finish, or at least outline, your Business Plan. Before stepping away from your safety net, consult a Business Advisor and Financial Advisor to make sure you can financially withstand the hardships that often engulf entrepreneurs in the early years of business. It would be advisable to have between 6 months to a year’s worth of salary saved before taking the big leap. In this stage, Build Your Team and Secure Your Advisors. Respect your time and create a Daily and/or Weekly Schedule. Develop a strong Financial Infrastructure.
The business is formally created. You start Selling Your Products or Services to your, hopefully, Warm Market. Many new business owners hurt themselves at this stage by under-estimating the difficulty of Penetrating the Market Place and Appropriately Pricing their services and/or products. In this stage Profits, Expenses and Human Capital often are not in harmony and many business owners experience real Concerns and/or Hardships. Engage Your Team regularly. Ask for Constructive Criticism. Remove Negative People from Your Inner Circle.
You have made it beyond the start-up phase and your business is Self-Sustaining, but the requirements of Managing Day-to-Day Activities are boxing you in. You know you have to grow, but you don’t know how. The idea of Removing Yourself from the day to day activities of the business causes anxiety, but you know it has to be done. Engage your team, talk to your advisors. Conduct a SWOT Analysis of your business. Most innovations in this stage come from those outside your company. Know how to be Agile. Make Data-Driven Decisions, instead of relying on your gut. Instincts are important, but learn to know when to Trust Your Numbers.
You have a mature company. You have been in business for more than a handful of years and income is stable. You are, hopefully, Tracking KPIs and sharing the findings with your team and advisors. Don’t Get Too Comfortable in this Space. Competition is all around you, waiting to pounce. This is when you want to continuously Identify Your Differentiators. Conduct another SWOT analysis and pay close attention to findings. Make sure your business’s Accounting System that is custom designed for your company, not a standard quick fix out of a box.
Before implementing your Expansion Strategy, Assess Your Business Model, Operational Structure, Brand, and Pricing Models with your advisors. Complacency can lead to you to becoming a “hobbyist” instead of a business owner! Give your “wants” strong consideration before attempting to expand. Stick to Your Expansion Plan but try to Remain True to Your Overall Mission, Vision and Principles. Recognize and embrace the Hardships that Often Accompany Expansion and Know When Enough Is Enough.
This is another critical stage that requires careful and strategic planning and Honest Internal Reflection. If your business is around for any extended period of time, there will be Difficult Periods, Missed Projections, Periods of Decline, etc. Your interest could be dwindling or maybe you want to start or focus on another business. Go back to your WHY. Is it the same? If not, what has changed? In this stage, you need to start thinking about your Exit Strategy. How do you get the most out of your next move? Consider any Contractual Obligations reducing the company’s agility or attractiveness to potential buyers. Prepare your staff, if necessary, for what’s next. Be sure to communicate Your Decision to all parties affected so no one feels blindsided. Get financial, business and legal counsel to assure you’re making a responsible decision. Arrange for a proper Business Valuation and avoid over-valuing the business. Emotional ties can act as blinders when it comes to business departing from a business!
This is your opportunity plan for the next phase of your life and to Leave a Legacy and lasting memory of you and your company. Again, keep open lines of communication between your staff and your clients. Everyone will appreciate this in the end. Re-visit The Bridges You Have Built, you never know where your road will lead!
