Picture this:
You’ve finally found that brief minute in your overloaded day to take a break.
But you can’t help it, your eyes drift back to your desk.
On top of a daunting stack of tasks-still-to-do sits your financial report for last month.
It’s two weeks late, yet again.
You glance over the numbers.
Your heart sinks, and a pinching headache is on the brink of migraine.
Too many things to fix, too many priorities; and then there’s knocking at your door.
You’re needed once again, and just like that your break is over.
It’s what all business owners dread. Metric after metric telling them they aren’t reaching their goals and being so focused working “in their business” that they don’t have enough time to work “on their business.”
This struggle has been a consistent theme in the business owner community, and with the recent pandemic, supercharged inflation, and a rocky labor market not-so-fondly deemed “The Great Resignation,” it feels like success is a difficult thing to find lately.
The Top Seven Obstacles Owners Face in 2022
- Continual Loss of Revenue
- Many businesses lose sales and revenue, often without ever realizing how much. Take the time to accurately measure your current revenue and analyze that against previous fiscal years.
- Poorly Managed Operations
- A disorganized effort to properly manage the operations of a business can have long-lasting consequences, impacting employee morale, retention, finances, and more.
- Trouble Collecting Receivables
- Without a formalized process, maintaining consistent collections from customers can grow complicated very quickly. Implement a standard procedure across all departments to combat this.
- Difficulty Paying Line Of Credit
- Late invoices, unplanned expenses, and other urgent financial concerns can cause businesses to borrow against their line of credit. Unfortunately, this often puts owners in precarious situations with their finances.
- High Employee Turnover
- Constant employee turnover can be costly, negatively impact company culture, and dramatically decrease customer satisfaction.
- No Free Time Away From The Day-To-Day
- Owners can get so caught up in managing the day-to-day operations of their business that they never have free time to step back and make efforts to improve and grow the company.
- Worst of All, Company Failure
- 65% of businesses never make it past the first ten years. Usually a culmination of the previous six businesses challenges, company culture can be pointed to various causes, but almost always is a result of inefficient planning and a failure to adapt.
But there’s a resource available to all independent business owners looking to improve in these areas, scale their business to new levels, and achieve their goals.
For over 23 years, Partner America has been helping businesses identify and solve their challenges by providing the resources and guidance owners need to excel in their industries.
We’ve assisted many business owners, like the one mentioned in our example above, in implementing flash reporting, key performance indicators, and systems of accountability. Owners can easily gain more freedom and peace of mind by taking control of their businesses back in the reporting process.

How Partner America Helps Owners Achieve Their Business Goals and Objectives
Established in 1999, Partner America grew from a partnership between the United States Conference of Mayors and American Management Services. The program spreads across the U.S., designed to bring a positive impact to businesses, their employees, and their local communities.
Through this collaboration, the business professionals at Partner America guide owners; helping them identify challenges preventing success and presenting them with the resources and tools to overcome these obstacles.
Adrian Cano from Spartan Reinforcing knew where he wanted his business to be but was unsure how to get it there. In collaboration with American Management Services, we worked with him to implement processes and systems to guide him to a more successful, profitable business.
“I estimate that the financial impact on my company will be another one million profit annually, more than what we would have been able to do ourselves.”
– Adrian Cano, Spartan Reinforcing, Texas
Only 3 years later, Spartan Reinforcing is running smoothly, giving Adrian the freedom to focus on growing his business, not micromanaging it.
