If you’re like most founders, every day your job consists of putting out fires wherever they spring up. The big picture falls by the wayside as you scramble to keep up with the very real demands of growing your business.

Before opening your doors you had time to think about the big picture — which products and services to offer, creative strategies for reaching customers. In other words, you had the luxury of time... to be proactive, to brainstorm and to work through challenges and goals ahead of time.

When you’re not getting distracted by the day-to-day stuff, you’ll be able to clearly see the trajectory your business is taking and get a much better picture of what’s working and what’s not.
