Volume 4, Issue 5: A Budget Is Not A Plan

The other day an enormous Excel spreadsheet arrived in the inbox of one from a fellow business advisor.
Here’s our annual plan, announced the email proudly from the business owner what do you think?
He looked at the mass of numbers; the only words he could find were the column titles, he called the business owner immediately:
“I think this is the budget” he said to the business owner.
“You’re right, it is the budget. Our annual plan is to make the budget.”

Volume 4, Issue 3: Mindsets Part 2

“YOU CAN’T DO THAT….!”
Last month we looked at several different mindsets that effect life and business - people who tell you what you can and can’t do. These people can get into your spirit and limit your thinking so you don’t stretch or enlarge in life. So doing something different or risky becomes a minefield of negativity. When you do things like changing a service, marketing differently, improving customer service, or establishing a larger vision, many people will react negatively to the change.

Volume 4, Issue 3: Discovering the DNA of Profitability for Your Business

Business people often think that they need to take dramatic steps to improve the profitability of a business. Many believe, for example, that if they want to double their profits they need to double their sales.

These people are revealing their own limited thinking, or they may be operating from their own comfort zone. Their small mindsets haven’t been stretched or enlarged. So when you decide to do something different or risky, like launch a product, add another retail store, change a service, or establish a larger vision, you’ll find at least ten percent of people will either oppose you or disagree with you.
