Business Development Assessment Result:

 

Creative Firefighter

You’re holding everything together with sheer determination.

Time to create systems, not just survive.

Next Steps

Here’s what to focus on next:

 

1. Business Development & Strategic Thinking

You’re likely working hard in your business but not enough on it.
Clients come mostly by chance or referrals, and your growth feels unpredictable.

Next Step: Block one “CEO hour” a week to review your pipeline, offers, and pricing.
Start tracking leads — even in a simple spreadsheet — and note what worked for each project. Small consistency beats big campaigns.

 

2. Organisation, Structure & Team Flow

You’re managing projects from memory and reacting to chaos.
Everything depends on you, which creates pressure and fatigue.

Next Step: Choose one central hub (Asana, Notion, or ClickUp).
Start by systemising one recurring process — like client onboarding — before tackling everything else.

 

3. Support & Systems Mapping

You’re doing too much yourself. Delegation feels risky, but the weight is unsustainable.

Next Step: Write down every recurring task for a week.
Then mark: keep, delegate, automate, delete.
Hire or barter for help with one admin task immediately — even 5 hours/month changes everything.

 

4. Social Media & Visibility Strategy

Posting feels random, stressful, or secondary.
You know it matters, but there’s no plan — and it drains you.

Next Step: Choose one platform and one theme for the next 30 days.
Batch 3–5 posts at once and reuse content. You don’t need more, just consistency.

 

5. Self-Care, Boundaries & Energy

You’re running on fumes and probably feel guilty for resting.

Next Step: Schedule non-negotiable recovery time in your calendar — just like meetings.
Protect your evenings or one full day weekly for rest without productivity.
This is not luxury; it’s business infrastructure.

 

6. Vision & Long-Term Alignment

You’re too deep in the day-to-day to see where it’s all heading.

Next Step: Spend one hour visualising your ideal business in 12 months — what’s changed, what’s easier, who’s helping you.
Write it down. Clarity precedes creation.
