Time for a Crash Course
Remember when you first learned how to drive a car?
You hit that magical age, full of anticipation and wonder. After months of training and practice, you finally earned your coveted prize: a driver’s license!
By law, you were required to receive at least 30 hours of driving instruction prior to receiving your license. Yet you weren’t required to get ANY training before starting your own business.
Your passion put you behind the wheel of solopreneurship on Day One, forcing you to learn along the way.
Unfortunately, trial and error isn’t the best way to learn how to run a business. Imagine the destruction you would’ve wrought if you were forced to use trial and error to learn the rules of the road.
A little training in the beginning could’ve spared you many of the problems your business is facing today. Luckily, you still have options.
It’s Never Too Late for a Crash Course
A crash course is a rapid and intense course of training, usually undertaken in an emergency. If your business is struggling to stay afloat, THAT’S an emergency.
BestSmallBizHelp.com’s Small Biz Crash Course was uniquely created for struggling small business owners like you. Business analyst and turnaround expert Dawn Fotopulos will help kick your business into high gear.
In the last post, you learned how to make sense of your financial dashboard. Remember, your dashboard includes three key gauges:
- Your profit and loss statement
- Your cash flow statement
- Your balance sheet
All three are essential for the success of your business. Each answers a different and important question about the ability of your business to function successfully to go the distance.
You need ALL three of these gauges to give you a complete picture of what’s happening while running your business.
If you can’t read and understand your business’s control panel, you won’t know how to interpret the warning signs that failure is imminent. Nor will you be able to identify when true financial growth and opportunity are right there in your path.
