Is Your Business Constantly Surprising You?

Not in a negligee-at-the-door-I-cleaned-out-the-garage-and-I also-paid-off-your-student-loan way but in a whoops-there’s-no-money-in-the-checking-account kind of way?

Negative surprises in business, as in committed relationships, are often a sign that you’re not paying enough attention to your partner.

Whether a relationship ends with a bang or a whimper, in hindsight the small signs of strains were visible all along – the microaggressions, the small misunderstandings, the resentments and hurts that were left unaddressed.

Ignoring them transformed small cracks into massive, irreconcilable rifts.

Your relationship with your business is similar.

You may be devoting a lot of time and effort to your business. But if you find yourself being surprised a lot – e.g. unexpected taxes, lower than projected cash balances – these are signs that you need more financial intimacy with your business. 

Intimacy is not measured in units of time but in the kind of attention you give your business – one that is curious, judgment-free, and explores the interaction between what actions you’re taking and what financial results they’re producing.
