Business CPR: How to Revive your Business | Crunchy Lemons

Business CPR

If your business is treading water, it might be time to give it some business CPR. No, we're not talking about the kind of CPR that requires mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (although if your business is really in trouble, you might need to resort to that, too). We're talking about Corporate Performance Review, or CPR for short.
CPR is a process that can help you assess where your business is and what needs to be done to get it back on track. It's similar to a physical CPR in that it's a method of reviving something that has stopped functioning properly but unlike physical CPR, which is typically performed in an emergency situation, CPR for businesses can (and should) be performed on a regular basis, even when things are going well.
This is a three-step process that can help you revive your business and bring it back to life. 

C - Change your mindset. 

You need to stop thinking about all of the things that are going wrong in your business and start thinking about all of the things that could go right. This shift in thinking will help you see opportunities where before you only saw problems.

Brainstorm. 

The first step in solving any problem is identifying what the problem is. So take a step back and look at your business from a bird's eye view. What areas need improvement? Are sales down? Is morale low? Are there high levels of turnover? Once you've identified the problem areas, you can start to formulate a plan to address them.
Having trouble coming up with ideas? It’s okay. Crunchy Lemons will do the thinking for you. Get a free consultation and we’ll prepare an in-depth digital analysis of where you are, and how you can improve.

Train!

Trying to revive your business on your own is like trying to do CPR without any training—it's not going to end well. You need all the help you can get, so don't be afraid to ask for it. If you have friends or family members who are willing to pitch in, take them up on their offer. And if you need professional help, don't hesitate to hire someone like Crunchy Lemons who knows what they're doing.

P - Plan for success. 

Once you've changed your mindset, it's time to start planning for success. This means creating a roadmap for how you're going to achieve your goals. What are the steps that you need to take and what are the resources that you need? How can you overcome any obstacles that stand in your way? When you have a plan, it's much easier to execute it and achieve your desired results.

Roll up your sleeves and get to work.

Start taking steps to implement your solutions and see if they have the desired effect. If not, then go back to the drawing board and try something else. The important thing is to keep trying until you find something that works.

Evaluate and adjust as needed. 

Once you've implemented your plan and things are starting to improve, it's time to evaluate your progress and make adjustments as needed. Are sales increasing? Is morale improving? Are turnover rates going down? Keep track of your progress so that you can continue to fine-tune your solutions until they're perfect!

R - aise your standards. 

If you want to achieve extraordinary results, then you need to raise your standards and start expecting more from yourself and your team. When you settle for mediocrity, that's exactly what you'll get. But when you strive for excellence, chances are you'll achieve it.

Don’t forget to celebrate!

As you start seeing results from your revival efforts, take some time to celebrate your successes. But don't forget about your failures; they can be just as valuable as your successes when it comes to learning and growing as a business owner. After all, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger... right?
