Are you under pressure in your business?

Perhaps you're waking at 3am, worrying about all the things you need to do?

Feeling like you’re struggling with all this on your own.
You may be feeling stressed about irregular work or lack of cash flow.
You may be wondering how on earth you could ever take time off when you’re the one holding things together in the business.
You may feel embarrassed to admit that you don’t really understand your business finances (don’t worry you’re not the only one!)
You may wish you had more time and want to feel like you’re in control (rather than the business controlling you!)
You may have realised you’re less present in your family life because the pressure of the business consumes you.
You may not know where to start to be able to take your business to the next level.

But we know that:

You started a business because you love what you do, and wanted to take control of your own future.
You've already achieved more than most - only 37% of small businesses in NZ still exist more than 2 years after start-up.
These are normal business growing pains that so many other business owners experience too.
You have established a great business with so much potential for further growth.

Let's amplify your efforts if you are ready to have less stress, more time and money, and a business that excites you (rather than drags you down).
