Financially
The first question is all about money. Are you in the best possible position for your business financially? Do you have the money that you need to run your business well? Are you getting a good deal from your suppliers? You might not think that small things like this are important but they contribute to the overall financial state of your business so of course they are. For example, if you are using a construction supply company but you feel as though you are paying more than you should, it might be time to look for a new one.
Make sure that you are looking at your finances regularly to determine whether or not there are ways to save money, and check that you are in line with your budget.
Reputation Wise
Reputation is essential in the business world. If you have a bad reputation as someone who doesn’t provide for their customers or someone who can’t be trusted then your business is going to fall fast. This is not what you need, so you have got to be keeping an eye on your business reputation. If you notice that things are starting to sour, then you need to work on picking them back up again. Enhance your customer service as much as you physically can, run promotions and events to entice people to your business, and do whatever you can think of that would make people want to use your business.
With Your Employees
How do your employees feel about your business? Are they treated well? Do they feel as though they are appreciated? If they don’t, then they aren’t going to be putting in their full effort which means that your business won’t be in the position it could be in. Make sure that you think about this, and ask them if you’re not 100% sure. Just ensure that they know they won’t be in trouble for being honest!
