I thought that a better service would be enough. But it wasn’t.
I learnt a lot of lessons along the way and made a lot of mistakes. I realised that there are some key components in business that are really important, beyond just the products and services of a business. And that is what this website is here for. I want to give you learnings, insights, and tools that will help you move beyond just being a founder of a business, but transitioning to be a true business owner, where the business serves you, and not just you serving the business.
So I founded Business Balance Sheet back in 2015. The content and approach is based on my learning from my experiences at 4impact. For a long time, I was in the business and a key part of the operations. I’d been integral to the growth but I was “owned” by the business. I didn’t know how to get out. I’d hunt around for resources, but they all seemed to focus on running a business and not owning a business. My CEO suggested that we try putting in place an advisory board and that was the start of a transition. We never looked back. It wasn’t the first time, but it was a very powerful time, when the best idea for business improvement didn’t come from me. It changed the business, and this website and associated resources are built off those learnings. And the original idea that changed 4impact for the better wasn’t mine. I think that is pretty cool.
Business Balance Sheet is your virtual business advisor for Founders. We’ll guide you to help you transition to becoming a Business owner as well.
Don’t be trapped by your business. Get it to serve you.
