Getting Through a Challenging Time Doesn't Require More Work

...it requires finding the gaps

YES! I'M IN! 

A client said to me.

I've faced challenges before and could always figure things out. But this year is different. I feel like I have no control.

From difficult conversations with employees, lost revenue from bad weather and no foot traffic, implementing new software that didn’t work the way it was supposed to, trying to figure out how to bring the live customer interaction virtual; many small business owners have faced challenges they never thought would happen.

Maybe you've been feeling the same way.  

The difficult decisions small business owners have been making have left many feeling responsible for the downturn in their business, powerless, and as if they have no control.

Maybe you've been thinking these same things.

No one could have predicted the challenges we’re facing and the changes that need to happen in business.

No one knew "normal" was going to be far from normal and how to navigate moving forward.

More than 100,000 small businesses have closed their doors for good.  

You don't have to feel like everything is on your shoulders.

You don't have to do this alone.

You've listened to countless business experts on the morning news, downloaded dozens of PDFs on "ways to recession-proof your business in 30 days!" ...  

... and feel like you’re in the same place.  

Only with less money in your bank account, less employees in your business, and motivation that's falling apart fast. 

What if you could turn everything around? 

You have more control than you think.   
 
Challenges help us to accelerate actions we should have taken long ago.
Challenges show us where we’ve hindered our own growth. 
Challenges show us how to really take messy, imperfect action. 

You can choose how to respond in any circumstance and not let the circumstance control you. 

Introducing...

THE BUSINESS RESILIENCE BLUEPRINT

The 90-minute LIVE workshop for smart business owners, entrepreneurs, and coaches

3 ways this live workshop, The Business Resilience Blueprint, can help your business thrive

(even in the worst of times)

During this workshop we will focus on 3 key pieces that will take you from the uncertainty you are feeling now to certainty for the future of your business:

"Before working with Theresa, I felt like I was all over the place and didn’t have any real direction or focus. Doing a lot of random things and not seeing a lot of forward progress. I was busy but not productive... Working with her allowed me to get clarity around exactly what I was serving and why I was serving. I gained the confidence of knowing what to work on now and how to progress forward with a sense of direction."

- Karyn Buggs, CEO Karyn Buggs

"Theresa always helps me to figure out my next step.

She has been able to see a bigger picture for my business than I was able to see.

She is very easy to work with, very positive and encouraging… even when I get frustrated.

She teaches me how to do things to empower me, the learner."

- Deb Knight, owner of the Copper Partridge  

It’s Time to Wipe the Slate Clean and Move Forward By...

  • Assessing what has worked and hasn’t worked 
  • Building resilience back into your business to get through any market 
  • Creating a plan to continue to grow your profits and achieve your goals 
  • Keeping your team motivated by the progress and not afraid of not knowing what’s going to happen next.

And the secret to doing all of this regardless of the constant flux in the world:  

STRATEGY+RESILIENCE+ACTION

Many advisors will tell you to build a NEW strategy and scrap everything – and in my experience that only leads to overwhelm, stress and confusion.  

To get your feet back on the ground and navigate any challenge you need to build the right strategy with what you have that has built-in action steps to keep you moving forward and communicating with your key stakeholders: your employees and your customers.  

And keep your focus on building: stability, momentum and community. 

Whether you were struggling before this year or know it's time for a change regardless of everything happening in the world... 

...the time to move is NOW. 

Every business goes through a crisis every 5 years…and out of those businesses only 40% of them make it through.   

Why?  Because they didn’t have the right strategy to build resilience into their business to withstand any impacts to their people, products, processes, infrastructure and wealth. 

Because here's the thing: 

 

Creating a strategy isn't intuitive. 

Googling for answers, trying every random Marketing tactic that people are suggesting to you, watching the morning news for the latest advice from the day's business expert and watching endless marketing videos on YouTube isn't going to enable you to figure this out effectively on your own. And definitely not within a timeframe that matters.

So let's review...3 ways this live workshop
can help your business thrive so that you can start making money again.

During this workshop we will focus on 3 key pieces that will take you from the uncertainty you are feeling now to certainty for the future of your business:

Still not sure The Business Resilience Blueprint is Perfect For You?

Here's a quick quiz to see if you're ready:

1. You are tired of spending more hours trying to figure out what to do... instead of taking action.

2. You're busy crossing off items on your "to-do" list but never seem to make real progress, and you don't know why.

3. You have no current strategy for gaining traction and are ready to do whatever it takes to get back on track.

If you answered "YES!" to one or more of these questions, you're in the perfect position to get results from the BRB.

Frequently Asked Questions (and comments)

"I don’t have time to do this right now because I’m working on surviving..."

You don’t have time NOT to do this.  If you continue to focus in survival mode you will continue to struggle.  Now IS the time to work on creating the right plan to build stability so you can push forward today and grow tomorrow.

"I had to cut costs already and don’t have the money to do this..."

It will cost you much more than any costs you’ve cut to not take the right actions.  The best investment you can ever make in your business is investing in your future. And that’s exactly what we will focus on…building a plan so your business has a future. 

"I’ve always done things a certain way in my business – and that’s what I’m going to continue to do because that’s what got me to this point..."

Adversity, crisis and downturns in business accelerate actions that should have been taken before. It also shows you where you’ve been hindering your own growth.  The actions you’ve always taken have gotten you to this point. But in order to get different results, you need to take different actions. 

"I’m just going to do everything myself to make sure my business survives..."

Trying to do everything yourself and function in “control master mode” will only bring you more chaos and dysfunction in your business.  This program will show you how to build a collaborative plan and communicate it effectively to your key stakeholders; your employees, your community and your customers to build trust and connection.

"Things will return to normal so all I need now is a 'quick fix' to get by..."

Quick fixes will only lead to big problems and minimal results.  Getting real with what’s really happening in your business and focusing your efforts on moving opportunities forward is what will bring you results.  It doesn’t happen overnight. It takes grit and determination – which you already have in abundance – but what’s on the other side of it will be the success you’re looking for.

"Okay, I'm ready to start crushing it!"

Theresa Cantley Business Growth Specialist

Who is Theresa Cantley?

If we haven’t met yet, I’m Theresa!

I am the creator of The Business Growth Formula and I'm also the host of the Your Next Best Step Podcast. My philosophy is that adversity gives us the chance to create our biggest innovations and ideas in our business.

My passion is helping driven local business owners build resilience, wealth and impact into their business so that they can grow their income, profitability and the freedom to live an extraordinary life.

I've spent 20 years as a marketing, brand and business strategist. After realizing my life had a bigger purpose, I left my corporate job as a director of marketing and operations to build my first business a brick and mortar retail store.

Over my career I've helped many entrepreneurs, leaders, and business owners streamline processes and build their brand.

I can do the same for you.

I take building your business as seriously as I take building my own.

My passion is to teach small business owners to think entrepreneurial so you can impact the lives of your customers, community, and your team while making a difference in this world.

As a growing business, we were always struggling to develop systems that could help us achieve all we wanted to. This ranged from simple things like daily procedures to big events like a wedding showcase. Theresa has helped me to focus on my role in the business as an innovator. She has helped us develop a brand and grow as a business, but she has also done so much more. I wish I could put it into words that everyone could understand, but she simply is my life coach, friend, counselor, motivation, mentor and overall guru. She helps me find my peace.... and because of that, helps me run a successful and thriving business."
