JPMorgan Chase partners with Start.Pivot.Grow. to help small businesses scale.

Top 10 Reasons Small Business Owners Need Strategy Help (Now More Than Ever)
Economic Uncertainty – Rising interest rates, shifting consumer spending, and tighter credit make growth unpredictable without a plan.
Competition is Fierce – Digital-first startups and big brands are crowding local and niche markets, forcing small businesses to differentiate fast.
Funding Requirements – Banks, investors, and grant providers demand detailed, data-backed growth strategies before providing capital.
Revenue Plateaus – Many small businesses stall between $250K–$750K because they lack a repeatable growth model.
Overwhelmed by Options – Too many tools, channels, and “growth hacks” leave founders guessing instead of focusing on what moves the needle.
Shifts in Consumer Behavior – Customers expect personalization, speed, and digital-first experiences that small businesses must adapt to.
Talent & Team Growth – Hiring, training, and leading teams require clear strategic priorities, not gut instincts.
Technology Gap – AI and automation are changing the game; businesses without an adaptive strategy risk falling behind.
Scaling Requires Systems – Processes, KPIs, and financial models must be in place before scaling — otherwise growth collapses under pressure.
Time & Energy Limits – Founders can’t do it all; they need AI-powered strategy tools to focus their limited time on high-impact actions.

I really enjoyed reading this! The way you described Lily James’s outfit choices makes me want to rewatch Swiped 2025. I adore that striped top she wore — it’s such a timeless pattern. Vanson Jackets actually recreated it beautifully: Swiped 2025 Lily James Black and White Striped Top. Definitely on my wishlist now.
