Remember Why You Started
Most owners begin with a vision: build something lasting, choose the projects you want, create freedom for your family.
But years later, many look up and realise the business doesn’t match the vision.
That’s vision drift.
Why Vision Drift Happens
-
Chasing cash – Short-term survival decisions override strategy.
-
Unplanned growth – Taking any project, not the right ones.
-
Lack of tracking – No system to check if you’re on course.
The Role of Forecasts and Reporting
A forecast is more than numbers — it’s a map of where you’re going. Regular reporting checks:
-
Are we building the business we wanted?
-
Or are we drifting into something else?
Example: Fit-Out Contractor Stuck in the Wrong Market
A firm aimed for commercial projects but got trapped in low-margin residential work.
-
Without reports: They didn’t notice the drift until years later.
-
With reports: Regular reviews could have corrected course early.
