TranslateIt is always a good time to pause and ask yourself, “How is my company doing?” Very often we as business owners are so busy solving day-to-day issues and running the business that we don’t take time to reflect on “Is my business performing the way I want it to?”
The following Self-Assessment can be completed in less than 5 minutes. If you answer “No” or “I’m not sure” to any of these 11 issues, it may be time to sit down with a SCORE Counselor for a free and confidential session.
SCORE can ask the additional questions that can help identify the improvement opportunities for your firm. We can then guide you in developing an action plan.
Most of our initial sessions last less than an hour so what do you have to lose besides some problem spots in your business?
