A five-year-old metal-prints company had made no money, not from bad strategy but from the founder's lost confidence after failed launches. Weekly check-ins where they built plans together reignited momentum. Sometimes you just need someone to bounce ideas off.
You know what to do, but you just stop trusting yourself to do it. I've just started working with a metal prints company. They've been trading for 5 years, but they've made exactly zero pounds. Everyone has told the founder that she needs a new strategy, but she didn't. What she lacked wasn't competence, it was just confidence. 5 years of failed launches and setback is going to knock that out of absolutely anyone. So we just set up a simple weekly catch-up. We set some plans together, we set some actions, but importantly, she's got someone to bounce some ideas off, and that place is now flipping flying. So ask yourself, is your strategy broken, or are you just doubting yourself? If it's the latter, set one goal every morning and hit it. Then you're going to feel like you're winning, and then you can move on, and it won't take long before your business is flying too, just like the Metal Print Company.
