Why is it Hard to Be a Small Business Owner Today?
Running a successful business in today’s fast-paced market is challenging as:
- 20% of Small Businesses fail in their first year
- 50% of Small Businesses make it past 5 years
- 65% of Small Businesses report being profitable
- 84% of Entrepreneurs are working overtime
- 81% of Small Businesses have no employees
If you’re a small business owner, then you know that as the founder, you have to wear many different hats. You’re the entire leadership team: the CEO, the COO, the marketing director, the salesperson, and more.
And it can be challenging to manage all the business operations on your own as you will face issues like wasted time, burning cash, dissatisfied customers, or missed opportunities. Here are some statistics to back up what I’m saying:
- Small businesses lose 20% to 30% in revenue every year due to inefficiencies.
- The average worker is productive for about 2 hours and 53 minutes per day.
- 85% of workers unproductively spend up to 2 hours searching for information.
- Over 60% of entrepreneurs report they are kept up at night due to business concerns.
- Only 14% of owners take a vacation every 2-3 years, and 85% of those owners work during their vacation.
These operational issues stop your business from achieving its full potential. You will struggle to grow and scale. But you don’t have to do it alone…
You need to hire a fractional COO! But, what is a fractional COO, and what do they do? Keep reading to find out!
What is a Fractional COO? Why Do You Need One?
Are you tired of trading your time for money? According to Robert Kiyosaki’s Cashflow Quadrant, scalability and success lie in effective systems that streamline operations, cut costs, and boost productivity. But what if you lack the time or expertise to put systems in place?
That’s where a Fractional Chief Operating Officer (COO) comes in to save the day!
A Fractional COO is an experienced executive who runs the day-to-day operations, optimizes processes, and drives growth for a business on a part-time or temporary basis.
They provide cost-effective management and leadership experience to your business on a part-time basis. Fractional COOs are hired by small business owners and startup entrepreneurs who do not have the cash flow or the need for a full-time COO.
While the responsibilities of a Fractional COO vary depending on your specific needs, they take over your company’s daily operations, which frees up your time as the CEO to focus on more high-level growth initiatives.
So, why hire a full-time operations executive when you can have access to a top operations executive in a powerful and affordable way? Fractional COOs, like myself, provide the senior operations leadership you need that is flexible and at a fraction of the cost.
Let’s discuss how I can help you achieve your business goals and take your company to the next level!
