11 Steps to Reach Peak Business Performance
by Jonathan Staley on July 22nd, 2009
Do you have a business plan that has been updated in the last three months? If yes, you are already ahead of the curve according to the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Peak Performance assessment. If you answered “no” to that question or any of the subsequent nine yes or no questions then it might be time to look for an organized approach to sloughing off the downward pull of the current economy.
Conveniently, the ten yes or no question evaluation leads you to eleven steps:
Step 1: Reality Check – Candidly answer the assessment questions above and take appropriate action to address issues receiving a “no” response.
Step 2: Get Lean and Mean…
Step 3: Maximize Cash Flow…
If after the reality check you find yourself at a loss for ways to start tackling each step, the SBA also includes thirteen separate performance resources. Most are aimed at their loan programs and business plan writing but there is a marketing guide, a website construction primer and information on government contracts in the Free Online Courses section.
