Ok so,

Finances, you need to get them organised
Test out the integrity of your bank accounts and accounting software (and knowledge of it)
Make sure it works without "extra steps", and that your backup plans are as solid.

Legal footing, your insurance/liability, awareness of regulations and law in your field within your area of business practices, file the paperwork for you business and make necessary inquiries etc.

Culture, what are the cultures of the people you are dealing with? If they are lazy, slow, and don't care for results well then you have a bit of a logistical problem don't you! How can you set up the deal or find the right people to work with so that the culture serves to underpin and serve as a springboard for productivity (not delay).

Integrity, how reliable are the crucial facets of your business and its smooth functioning?
How is the manager? How are your workers and is their environment good? How is customer feedback? How consistent is the output of your product? Is your pricepoint in touch with the flow of the crowd? Do people enjoy your business overall? Is customer service decent? Can you address peak/surge business or spikes or troughs in requests? How attentive/adaptive is your approach, and does it suitably manage most variable risk.

Resource assurance, how can you crack some eggs to make an omlette if you don't have reliable ways to get those eggs. Transport, customs, packaging, amounts required and standardising the process of delivery (can't get stuck in the weeds of micromanagement but also don't want waste), good relationships with resource industry, checking out the background of who you work with, inspecting things yourself now and then (having inspection processes/protocol).

Error accountability, where are mistakes being made and are the processes for uncovering them open and inclusive to those who work there. Are you interactive enough with people or too distracted in your own morass to notice? Are you TOO involved so people are afraid to tell you? You just gotta find a balance.

Considerations, what are some core considerations you want to prioritise. Filter these down chain of command, see to it that most people are decently on board.

Protrusion, how "out there" is the business? And conversely, how exposed is it to weathering and degradation? Are there facets that will depreciate in value and if so is there any way to profitably rotate them out.

Effectiveness, is what you are pursuing effective? That is the key component to whether or not you arre really going to keep up on doing all these tasks, if you feel it isn't effective, well then, you gotta take a look at why not, not just take it all on faith.


Ideally you want to generate some good momentum with ideas etc, but you want that sort of thing to have good bones, it will help your business not get bogged down in the intangibles.


All the best to you all
