Some business fails and not everyone succeed. When a person is starting a business or company, failure is the on the back of their mind. All they think about is how successful they could get. On the contrary, we do not hold the destiny of anything around us. It is a daily battle against rejections, disappointments, and even breakdowns. Like the market, businesses are unstable and sometimes you ignore the warning signs.

Taking a course under Business Administration opened a lot to me. I learned about a few things about how market and industry works. And in addition to that, we also studied about businesses fighting a spot for success. In this piece, I am writing about the situations that will tell you that your business is having a slow progress, or having a breakdown. To understand and learn more, let us talk about it further below.

You can’t manage the cash flow well.

Sometimes we think that cash is everything. Most business owners are concern on the cash flow of their business and how is it going when it comes to money and profit. Because that is what a business does. On the other hand, having a poor cash flow can be the starting point of your business’ failure. It is not about having a lot of profits. There should be a better management and handling of the situations concerning cash flow, like ineffective debtors, crisis, and even problems in stock levels.

Additionally, some signs of poor management is that there is inadequate financing and late invoicing happening within the organization. You need a good management and decision-making when it comes to cash flow because it is the fuel that will make your business go somewhere, grow, and succeed.

You lack of strategies and techniques.

Planning and making decisions while overseeing the future means a stepping stone for the business. You cannot achieve it if you failed on planning. Some business owners just go with the flow without noticing that their business is starting to be a failure. The lack of strategies is like being in a war without any bullet on your gun. You will be down in just a few shots.

 It would be best to engage yourself into looking for long-term strategies that you can count on for the growth of your business. Start with making researches about the trending or what do people look for. On the other hand, work on knowing who are your competitors and study techniques that you can use as an advantage to them. Always be ready and prepare a set of strategies, both long and short term.

You have a weak leadership.

People will follow strong and powerful leaders. Maybe this is one of the problems within your business. The weakness in leadership is a disadvantage and can cause the failure. It is not a good idea to look down on your employees if they did something wrong. Rather than offending them and telling them harsh words, it would be best to keep a good communication between everyone. In some situations, bosses or leaders seem to act superiority and forget how they should treat everyone well. And if it was tolerated, employees will not be motivated to work. They might start losing interest on their job and be ineffective. So, it would be a good idea to make a good relationship with the people you work with in your business.

For me, these were the three major concerns when it comes to being a business owner. The management in cash flow determines the fuel for the ride to success, while strategies work on how to improve everything. And in leadership, the first two things I mentioned will not be possible if you are not an effective leader.

Sometimes there is no exact reason as to why a business fails. I have worked in 1 restaurant before. We even tried to minimize the cost of labor even with the food, beverage and paper costs but it was still break even. It was a franchised restaurant so there were additional fees. When the company took over, they tried their best to save the restaurant but it still didn't. We have everything that you have mentioned and we really do not know why it never surpasses that break even profit. We did had a lot of guests especially during Mother's day. Cash flows and all were checked by our accountant but they also could not pin point why it was not picking up. 😔
