Knowing when working with a consultant is right for you and your business

Hey CEO! I see you! You are leading a growing organization and you’re loving it.

…Of course, you’re a bit tired, you worry endlessly about certain aspects of your business, you’re stuck in the nitty gritty of operational efficiency (and how to finally achieve it), and you lack the boundaries necessary to run your business to support your life (not the other way around). I. See. You.

So, I want to ask you this: Do you know when it’s time to bring in a consultant or strategist to support you in this new, exciting and a bit terrifying business growth spurt?

“I don’t know” is the answer I often get. So, I sat down and brainstormed a few of the common reasons why CEOs bring in a consultant or strategist to work with them and their businesses. If any of these sound familiar, stick around towards the end!

  1.  You or your team members are too busy for work that needs to get done.

  2. You or your team members lack the expertise in a specific area in your business (most common consultants provide support relating to strategy, finance, and marketing).

  3. You need this support now rather than later.

  4. You’ve tried to do it yourself and were not successful (probably because it is not your zone of genius!)

  5. You believe a third-party perspective will bring a new, fresh look at the business’ complex roadblocks.

  6. You would love to participate in the strategy-focused discussions rather than facilitate them.

Did any of these describe what you’re currently experiencing as CEO of your business? Yes? Well, we’ve got you! You’ve done so many things on your own and growing your business to the next level does not have to be one of them.

In our case, we are business strategists with a background in industrial organizational psychology and entrepreneurship. Our passion is supporting entrepreneurs in their journey towards bigger, badder businesses in Puerto Rico. We have helped entrepreneurs:

  1. Focus on the big picture of where their business is going rather than staying stuck in the daily grind.

  2. Enjoy more time off to recharge and do the creative work that fuels their business with innovative ideas.

  3. Grow their businesses to their highest potential without losing their culture, sanity, or passion.

  4. Get support to laser focus on what their company needs, not what is popular in the entrepreneurship sphere.

  5. Upgrade the processes, systems, and habits that drive their businesses.  

  6. Give their growing team the structure, knowledge, clarity, and tools it needs to achieve its highest potential.

So, if you’ve been thinking that there is something missing, some roadblock is getting on your last nerve or you need a bit of coaching in strategy-focused work, please, do not hesitate to take advantage of our free consult! We would love to talk to you about your business and increase your impact.
