1. Know your numbers
Cash flow and profit are your early warning systems. Get a clear picture, and don’t fudge the data.
2. Focus like a laser
Double down on your core business. Drop or pause anything that isn’t profitable or aligned with your strengths.
3. Cut where it hurts less
Review overhead ruthlessly. Office space, subscriptions, marketing? What can you live without while you rebuild?
4. Be honest with your stakeholders
Don’t hide problems. Talk openly with lenders, investors, and your team about your plan to get lean and grow again.
5. Plan in manageable chunks
Set realistic growth targets that your current resources can handle. Build momentum step by step.
