"Where will you be in 5 years time?", is one of the questions I ask prospective clients. Its a popular question in interviews, to assess whether a candidates ambitions match that of his prospective employer.
The reason I ask it is:
If I know where you want to take your business and what your "vision" is, then I can help you to get there, and advise accordingly. You may want to just tick along and view your business as a lifestyle business, which is fine and theres nothing wrong in that. On the other hand you may want to grow the business and maybe replicate it in another location, and therefore you need to work on the business rather than in it. You need to build processes and systems, and put them in place early on, that way you will build a business with growth in mind and therefore will be able to scale your business more readily. Have you thought about this in your business? If you are a start up or thinking of starting up what is your vision for your business?, and ask yourself where you want it to be in 5 years time, or I will!
