Starting and growing a business is not a straight line, something all new small business owners quickly discover. But, it’s not because of you – growing pains are just a normal and inevitable part of any business’ lifecycle. Each of these courses for small business owners will challenge you to proactively kick the tires on key business metrics and growing pains, so you can shine a light on your opportunities, practice new skills to address them, and continue growing your business with confidence.
The Ultimate Courses for Small Business Owners 🚀
Feeling a little lost in space? You’re not alone.
It takes time to get your bearings and really understand how to run a business.
It will always require effort, but Growing Pains add stress and pressure, making it that much harder to get traction.
What are growing pains?
Growing Pains are the normal – and frustrating – difficulties experienced at the beginning of a new stage of growth.
Examples of Growing Pains can include: poor financial health, inefficient or undocumented processes, lack of role clarity, gaps in knowledge and skills, ambiguous expectations or communication problems, starts and stops of new projects/initiatives, lack of vision or coherent business strategy, inconsistent branding and marketing messages, and more.
Challenges like these make your business a leaky bucket — unless you plug the holes, you risk inconsistent execution, damage to brand reputation, and constraints on future growth.
Shine a light on your opportunities
Growing pains are expected and solvable problems. But, in order to begin problem-solving, you have to begin with problem-understanding.
Each day, you’ll get a mini-lesson about a new business metric and growing pain, reflection and activities to apply and practice what you learn, and additional resources to continue learning.
Why it matters
New small business owners are by definition, well, …new. Like all things, starting and growing a business takes time to learn and practice.
But, nearly half of all small businesses fail within their first five years. You might struggle and still not make it. That’s why it’s okay to get help.
Think about the dream your small business represents for you. Why leave that to chance?
