Are you serious?

Yet another dicsussion on LinkedIn over whether businesses should have to grow or not (see the NRG-Networks group)


It's simple.  There are two different types of business owner. Those who think it's their job to produce widgets (or build websites, or fit boilers, or sell insurance...) and those who think it's their job to build a business.


The first type are really just self-employed.  The second type are the true business owners. They are focused on driving their business forward. They spend time thinking about how they get to the next step. They invest in their company and themselves so that they can achieve that next step - because they know that it will take a bigger strategy, a better plan, a tighter operation and more teamwork.

These business owners will spend time planning for when they come to sell their business. Or maybe they're wondering about getting money from a venture capitalist, business angel, government agency or bank to fund growth plans. They recognise when they reach the point where they and their management team become the limitation on the company's growth and they need to step back and change the way the busines operates. Success in any of these scenarios requires them to raise their game.

If you're one of the second type (true business owners) then you recognise the value of getting expert help.  You will probably want to click here for your free copy of the white paper "Raising Your Game" which addresses the challenges you'll face.
