OPPORTUNITIES
If your processes and systems are broken, how will you deliver services? First, your customers will suffer. Then eventually so will your staff and next, the entire company.
Feeling lucky just to break even?Inadequate funding causes a business to acquire more and more operational debt. This creates huge financial deficits down the line.
"My employees wear many hats" really means: "everyone runs around putting out fires!" Ad-hoc planning with an unorganized staff is a true misuse of valuable manpower.
You're too busy dealing with all the above so this is inevitable! When your "big break" or once in a lifetime opportunity comes knocking you can't take advantage because you're not prepared.
