In this episode, Stuart and Mena explore why every business owner should conduct regular health checks, not just when things go wrong, but as a proactive strategy for long-term success. They break the health check process into six core areas, starting with financial health, where Mena explains how to assess profitability, cash flow strength, and balance sheet resilience. Stuart then examines client and market health, highlighting the importance of avoiding overreliance on key clients, staying relevant in your market, and keeping your lead pipeline strong.

Mena dives into operational health, discussing the need for scalable systems, up-to-date technology, and robust risk management, including cybersecurity. Stuart covers people and culture, identifying key person risk, the value of staff engagement, and building capability for the future. Mena also unpacks strategic health, asking whether your vision is still clear, your competitive edge is still relevant, and whether you're actually executing on your strategy. Finally, Stuart turns the spotlight on the owner’s health: is the business still serving your lifestyle, delivering a return on effort, and capable of running without you?

This episode is a practical, thought-provoking guide for stepping back from the day-to-day and making sure your business is truly fit for the future.
