Whole Business Circle

I developed this simple Whole Business Circle to show the nine parts of any small business. It’s a way to get a bird’s eye view of your relationship with your own business, and its strengths and weaknesses.

The circle will give you a barometer of your business at any moment. Once you have that picture, you will feel more empowered and clear about where and how you need to focus.


It is a fun and easy assessment tool that you can use over and over, and an excellent technique for use in strategic planning sessions or just a check-in to get an overview of you and your business.

The full process of using this circle for business planning and assessment can be found in ChapterĀ  2 of my book, "Clear Your Focus Grow Your Business."

Mini- quick activity. Print the circle. Write a number from 1-9 in each pie piece.

9= strongest most empowered area.

1= weakest or least empowered area.

This will give you a snapshot of how you are doing and where you need to focus in your business.
