Coaching Can help Your Business in The Current Scenario

If you are the owner of a Micro, Small or Medium sized business, chances are that you have been significantly impacted in the current Lockdown situation. 
The big question is what's next for your business? 
Obviously as an owner you cannot sit back and wait for things to happen. The need of the hour is to sit up, take charge of the situation, and act.
The first priority for you is to draw up a business continuity blueprint for your business. You need to do this NOW, notwithstanding the fact that that demand could take anywhere from a quarter or more to revive, depending on the sector. 
Nearly all companies are in the middle of what they describe as “scenario planning". Some of the key aspects of business operations that require planning and execution now, even if the business starts moving (demand for your product) a little later, could be
Supply Chain 
Strategizing around securing the supply of key raw materials.
Manufacturing
Keeping in mind that social distancing norms may be a concept that is there to stay, the need to optimise the work force, and introduce more automation, is a key consideration.
Getting back workers, (especially skilled labor which is difficult to replace), who may have migrated to their native places.

Managing revenues and costs

This may involve re visiting your product strategy 
You may or may not have started working on your business continuity plans as yet.
There could be two possible scenarios
  • If you don't have a plan in place 
  • You have made a continuity plan, and you are ready
In either case, getting help of a experienced professional business coach, could be a good idea.
A professional business coach, typcially someone who has expensive experience himself, of handling crisis situations in business can help you draw up your revised strategy and formulate business plans, goals and targets emerging from the strategy.
You have a strategy in place, and you may be think its a workable strategy, However, its always a good idea to have someone serve as a 'sounding board' -someone who can critically examine the strategy and provide valuable inputs. Remember, its a good idea to seek the opinion of an experienced person who has run a business himself sometime in the past.
With a business coach around you, you can be held accountable for a successful execution of the business strategy. You still are the business owner. The business coach will however ensure that you are on the right track towards achieving your goals. The business coach can be engaged for a slightly longer term, so that he is involved in not only helping you formulate your strategy and plans, but also helping you ensure execution down the line.

What is a Business Vision? And why is it important ?

"Good business leaders  create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion."  - Jack Welch Many business owners, particularly inexperienced start-ups, run their business without a vision in mind. They focus on short term profit and forget about the long term goal – which should be - to build a business that prospers! Is there any wonder why 90% of start-ups fail? Many business owners have been profitable from the beginning of their business launch. They’ve been fortunate. But some of them need to be careful. It might not last. There will be highs and lows and it’s important to take the good with the bad. They should by all means celebrate their first success. At the same time, they shouldn’t get carried away by the first win. They should develop a vision (which isn’t based upon a  monetary  value) and work towards it – this is the key to long term growth and success. So you’re a business ...
