"If you find yourself trapped between stagnating sales, staff turnover, and unhappy customers, what do you fix first? Every issue seems urgent -- but there's no way to address all of them at once. The result? A business that continues to go in endless circles putting out urgent fires and prioritizing the wrong things."

- Mike Michalowicz, Fix This Next

Businesses fail because they are doing the wrong thing -

or even the right thing at the wrong time

A business may have a debt issue or a margin issue. A business could have an employee engagement problem or a client engagement problem. A business could have all of these at once. But even in a scenario where a business needs triage, we must always fix it by addressing its most Vital Need first. By pinpointing the Vital Need and fixing that next, we will be doing the right thing at the right time. And that is the only way to grow a healthy business.

we are stuck in The survival trap

The experience is like this: We sense a problem, such as the lack of money at the company bank account. We react to the problem by immediately offering a discount in the hopes of drumming up sales. When that doesn’t work, we run an ad for a “rain maker” sales person. And when that fails we try doubling our prices. And on and on it goes. Problem = action. Random solution = reaction. And the whole time the problem may not have been sales related but efficiency related.

We stay stuck in a continual cycle of problems and quick fixes for the entire life of the business. In other words, we stay stuck taking two steps forward, but three steps back.

our compass: The Business Priority Pyramid

In Fix This Next, Mike reveals the BPP (Business Priority Pyramid). Similar to Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, businesses have a specific priority of needs that must be served. If foundational needs are skipped or ignored, the business is inherently compromised and won’t be able to maintain healthy growth. When foundational needs are adequately served, then higher level needs can be addressed, driving the business vision.

Most businesses stay stuck because the owner or leader(s) is reacting to apparent issues instead of identifying the most important singular issue the business needs addressed. This is made particularly difficult with your own business as you can't "see the forest through the trees." And as it turns out, we are not biologically connected to our businesses like our bodies, so our instincts and "gut feelings" tend to be far less accurate than we'd like to admit. A trained and experienced 3rd party, without attachment to the business, is just the ticket to figuring out what you need to fix next.
