1 QUESTION FOR YOU
Is your access to working capital sufficient to fund business operations and forecast growth?
2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS
- Tiffani Bova, (Salesforce Global Customer Growth) – “Many companies get trapped by the paradox of hitting numbers ‘now’ versus improving sales for future quarters or years ahead.”
- Nipsey Hussle (Entrepreneur and Musician) – “It sounds simple telling people to work hard and never quit, but to really execute and demonstrate those principles takes discipline and faith. Those are the two factors that I believe separate the good from the great, the successes from the failures.”
3 IDEAS FROM ME
- The jaws of growth are real and funding businesses that are growing requires access to the correct level of working capital.
- On Growth: Growth should not come at the expense of positive earnings. Disciplined operations focused on the levers of growth can deliver sustained positive earnings.
- On Execution: After the strategy has been put in place at a minimum an annual Plan on a Page is required to provide the 3 pillars and the ‘must do’s’ that require execution.
