The Rule Of 5
Rule 1 - Save Time, Save Money
Before you make any changes, stop, think, will it save time, save money, improve customer service?
Time is your most precious resource. Use it wisely.
Rule 2 - Customers, Employees, Financials
Always think customers, employees, financials.
In that order.
Rule 3 - Paperwork = Money
Think of your paperwork as pound notes; real money.
If you do that, you will do things better.
Rule 4 - The Financial Drivers, The 5 Numbers You Should Know Every Month
Sales, Profits, Cash, Debtors, Stock.
Learn them, remember them, use them.
Rule 5 - Keep Your Eyes On The Dash And The Road Ahead
What is happening now.
And what is likely to happen in the future that could affect your business, examples; changes to regulations, increases in tax rates, a new competitor opening across the street.
Stop. Think. Be Prepared.
Good luck with your business.
