Why Your Business Needs a Health Check

Good Morning,

I hope you’ve had a great week! Mine has been productive but it got me thinking and I wanted to share it with you this week.

Who knew that lawnmowers needed servicing? This was the unexpected discovery last weekend had in store for me. Thankfully, Daddy Bell came to the rescue. But this revelation had me wondering—if my lawnmower needs a service, my car needs a service, and who knows what else in my house requires regular upkeep, then why do so many business owners neglect to service their business?

Many of us are guilty of never stopping to jump off that hamster wheel—the endless treadmill of clients and daily tasks. We rarely take a moment to truly assess where our business challenges are, where opportunities lie, what the threats are, and which areas need our attention. I wanted to help you all, especially those of you who haven’t yet stepped off the hamster wheel and given your business a much-needed health check.

Taking a step back to evaluate your business can save you money, save you time, and increase your profits. Ultimately, this is what your business needs to be sustainable and to thrive in the long term. Did you know that the most optimistic statistic I found was that 50% of businesses don’t survive beyond five years? Even more staggering, Michael from HMDG mentioned that 96% of small businesses don’t make it past their first year. The data is not great, folks.

If you’re still running your business, I applaud you. However, it’s important to consider how many of these surviving businesses are just barely getting by—plateaued, stagnant, not growing, and not generating the income they need. Most are just surviving, but we’re here to thrive!

This is the place to learn the strategies, tactics, tools, and mindset needed to build your clinic or studio into a business that gives you the time, money, energy, and fulfilment you deserve. If you haven’t yet tuned into my Podcast then I recommend you do and join the ‘Treat your business’ Facebook page My team and I work daily with overwhelmed clinic owners to shift them from time and energy drains to confident owners making money, saving money, and reclaiming their lives.

We’ve noticed a significant gap—many of you are so busy working in your business that you can’t spare the time to assess what needs to change. Or maybe you want to avoid the scary thought of looking into your business and seeing the reality. That’s why we have created a Business Health Check for clinic and studio owners.

In just two to four minutes, this health check can give you a clear picture of how your business is performing in five critical areas: numbers, sales and marketing, systems, team performance, and mindset. You’ll receive a score and an action plan to help you move forward. From the data we’ve gathered, our current clients consistently score the highest on our health check. This proves the effectiveness of our coaching and the importance of regular business check-ups. If your score is low, it’s a sign that you might need new strategies or even a new coach.

So, why not take two to four minutes to complete the Business Health Check? It’s 100% free, and it will provide valuable insights into how well your business is performing. This is your opportunity to start making improvements and ensure your business is thriving. If your car needs a regular MOT and even your lawnmower needs servicing, then so does your business. I hope I have given you the encouragement you to give your business the health check it deserves.

Remember, content consumption doesn’t make changes—commit to doing something to grow your business. Reach out to me to learn more about our coaching programs or join our free Treat Your Business Facebook group for access to over 30 business masterclasses.
