Small Businesses And An Uncertain Future
As small business operators, our world is impacted by uncertainty.
Sometimes, from day to day, we’re not sure of the long-term loyalty of our staff; overhead costs like rents can trend up or down quite quickly; new legislation that we had not expected can change your trading landscape.
Even as we write our annual or other short-term Business Plans, we sometimes feel unready to look too far ahead. While planning for next year may be reasonably reliable, really small businesses rarely write long-term Strategic Plans looking ahead 5 or 10 years because we feel that we are unable to reliably predict the stability of the future.
So what are we to do as small business owners trying to reach a vision of the future in as steady and as planned a direction as we can steer?
