WHAT IF YOU GOT THE FUNDING... AND YOUR BUSINESS WASN'T READY?

What a fantastic Power Breakfast last Thursday!

Together with Marco and Nathan from The Alternative Board, and Arnold and the team from Business Partners, we explored how to use funding to scale your business successfully.

And what a conversation it was!

My five biggest takeaways:

1️⃣ Have a plan. Money without direction is a risk.

2️⃣ Know your numbers. Be prepared before approaching a funder.

3️⃣ Know your WHY. What exactly will the funding achieve?

4️⃣ Growth exposes the cracks. Are your people, processes and systems ready?

5️⃣ Don't grow alone. Surround yourself with people who challenge and support you.

Getting the funding isn't the finish line. It's the starting line!

A huge thank you to our wonderful panellists and everyone who joined us.

💬 If funding landed in your account tomorrow, would your business be ready to grow?

Sound familiar?

It's one of the most common traps managers fall into.

You're busy. Deadlines are looming. And explaining a task to someone else feels like more work than simply doing it yourself.

And perhaps today, it is quicker.

But what about six months from now?

If you're still doing everything yourself, what has your team learned? And how much time have you freed up to actually lead?

Delegation isn't just about getting tasks off your desk.

It's about building capability, confidence, and accountability in your team.

And that takes practice.

At HI-MAP, we help managers move from doing the work to leading the people who do the work.

The promotion gives you the title, but it doesn't make you a leader. The training gives you the tools.

💬 Managers, what's the one task you know you should delegate but keep holding on to?

“What is one thing you are proud of achieving so far, and what’s next?”

We’re usually pretty good at talking about what’s next.
The next target.
The next client.
The next challenge.
The next thing that needs our attention.

But how often do we stop and acknowledge what we’ve already achieved?
This is the kind of question I love asking in a leadership conversation because the answer tells you so much.
What someone is proud of.
What motivates them?
Where they believe they’re going.
And sometimes, what they haven’t given themselves enough credit for.

It’s also why I enjoy facilitating the Maxwell Leadership Game.
The value isn’t in having all the “right” answers. It’s in creating the space for people to have conversations they might not normally have with each other.
And one good question can take a team somewhere you weren’t expecting.

So, before you rush onto the next thing:
What are you proud of achieving so far, and what’s next?

Here’s a quick one to think about:

When someone sends you a long message full of detail, do you:

🔴 Think: Just get to the point.
🟡 Want to pick up the phone and chat about it.
🟢 Read it carefully and take your time to respond.
🔵 Appreciate that they’ve given you all the information.

Your answer might tell you something about your natural DISC style.

It’s not about putting people into boxes.

It’s about recognising that the way you naturally communicate may not be the way someone else naturally wants to be communicated with.

“What is a book you are reading that I should read?”

I love this question because it tells you more than just what’s sitting on someone’s bedside table.
It tells you what they’re curious about.
What they’re learning.
What they’re trying to get better at.
And sometimes, what they’re wrestling with.

As leaders, we don’t always need another complicated conversation starter.

Sometimes one simple question opens the door.

So I’ll ask you the same one:
What are you reading right now that you think I should read?

Business owner:
“We’ve promoted them because they’re really good at what they do.”

Lize:
“Great. And have you taught them how to manage people?”

Business owner:
“Well… not really.”

And there it is.
We often promote our best people and then expect them to somehow know how to lead a team, provide feedback, manage performance, handle difficult conversations, and keep people motivated.

Being brilliant at the job and being brilliant at managing people are two different skill sets.
That’s why programs like HI-MAP matter.
The promotion gives them the title.
Let’s make sure we give them the tools too.

We often promote our best people and then expect them to somehow know how to lead a team, give feedback, manage performance, handle difficult conversations, and keep people motivated.

Yet the numbers tell us people want development.
94% of employees say learning opportunities are a major reason to stay in a job, and 60% of millennials want leadership training.

Being brilliant at the job and being brilliant at managing people are two different skill sets.
That’s why programs like HI-MAP matter.
The promotion gives them the title.

Let’s make sure we give them the tools too.

So much of the stress of leadership comes from uncertainty. You are not sure which way to go, so every option carries a knot of doubt.
The goal is never to remove uncertainty completely. It is to make the uncertain a little more certain. To take the swirl of options in your head and lay them out where you can see them. To put a plan in place, supported by principles that have worked for others before you, and then take the next clear step.
That is a great deal of what happens in coaching and in a mastermind room. Not magic, just clarity, built together.

If you are carrying a decision that feels foggy right now, reach out. Sometimes one honest conversation is all it takes to see the path.

Here are four questions I love asking, because they turn a vague dream into a plan you can actually act on.

What does your dream need from you?
What do you need to do next?
Who do you need to meet?
Where should your time and energy actually go?

Most people have never slowed down long enough to answer them properly. Yet the moment you do, the fog lifts and the next step becomes obvious. A goal stops being something you wish for and becomes something you are working toward.

If you would like help thinking through your own answers, whether one-to-one or with your team, reach out to me. I would love to be part of that conversation.

A common myth worth clearing up: masterminds are only for large corporates with big budgets.
The opposite is often the case.

The owner of a small or growing business often has the most to gain, because you are the one making nearly every important decision, frequently on your own. A mastermind gives you what a large company gets from its executive team: a group of capable minds to think alongside you.

You do not need to be large to deserve good counsel. You simply need to be willing to sit in the room and be honest.

If you have been wondering whether a mastermind is right for a business your size, send me a message. The answer is very likely yes, and I am happy to explain.
