Every year about 100,000 businesses in the United States fail

(Source: SCORE Vancouver website: http://www.scorevancouver.org/business-tip4.html)  

The reasons are:

d. Lack of Experience: 10 percent

e. Unbalanced Experience: 22 percent

f. Managerial Incompetence: 61 percent

At Alacrity Consulting Services, we have Coached to Success, at last conservative count: 210 businesses

from startup or mid-term to maturity. 

Our typical results for small businesses is in increasing business income by a factor of 5-7 times within 6-8 months.

We have worked across the world, but work primarily in the bay area of Northern California: San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Santa Cruz, Monterey.

Question: How Do We Do This?

Answer:   Our coaches are Extra Vigilant and Rigorous in:

a.  Creating A Workable Strategy and Plan and then

b.  Holding the Business Team to Account rigorously on Staying on Track.

"Less than 15 percent of all full-time, licensed businesses fail in the first year.

About a third of all new businesses close their doors in the first three years.

Yet 25 percent of the businesses who fail each year are more than 10 years old.

In order to be successful over the long term you must be ever-vigilant.

You can't get sloppy after a few years and expect your business to automatically prosper in the future."

Of course, we allow for changes to the plan that are appropriate and logical. 

But the biggest problems for most businesses (especially new businesses) are:

a.  Not having a Plan or Strategy

b.  Not Being Committed Authentically to the plan (this stems partly from not accounting for their questions or doubts or available resources)

c.  No Relationship to Reality around Hard Numbers and Milestones

d.  because there is no relationship to reality, new business owners/managers Work Too Hard and Ineffectively or Work Too Little.

After our Coaches Create a Plan with the Team, we put the business owner and team through a series of Clarifying Questions: questions that are geared to Get to the Truth Quickly:

Are we committed to this plan    or    

Is this going to be another "nice idea" that flounders in a sea of good intentions?

If they pass this test, then the Next step is Execution; an execution of the plan with thorough Accountability and Managed, Responsible Creativity.
