Why Your Business May Stop Growing and How To Fix It

By R!k Schnabel

It is easy to call a business by the entity’s name as it quickly develops a life of its own. Easier still to forget that the entity’s very life was born from you ― the business owner. Like a child, it will only grow as great as its parent. So, if your business has stalled or is experiencing growing pains, please read on. In coaching business owners for 20 years to grow their business, the one key indicator for a stalling business is clear. While you might think a faltering business is due to a lack of experience or skill, it‘s often not. Anyone can improve their experience and build more skill. But it‘s mindset that stalls most commercial ventures. Unless by a miracle of good fortune or by buying in talent, your business can only grow as much as you. You are either a success story in the making or wine about to turn to vinegar. Lawrence D. Bell, founder of Bell Aircraft said, “Show me a man who cannot bother to do little things and I’ll show you a man who cannot be trusted to do big things.” I say, “Show me a business owner who has stopped growing and I’ll show you a business that has stalled.” I started my first business at 6-years-old back in 1968. At school, I sold tattoos that I crafted with colour markers to my school friends. I priced my designs at five cents a pop and they sold like hot cakes! Now that might not sound like a handsome sum to you, but back then a pie and sauce cost 5 cents. At around 50 orders a day, I could have bought many pies. Not a bad little earner for a six year-old. Every viable business must add value to someone‘s career, business or their life. Anyone can start one – even a 6-year-old. But the question is, how do you take your business to the next level?
