I keep coming up with interesting thoughts (at least to me) that don’t really fit with the month’s theme, so I decided to just post them anyway and call them Asides. I was reading Daniel Pink’s Drive when I came across a side-bar quote by Stefan Sagmeister. As I was reading it, I could hear […]
I do the work, send an invoice and expect to get paid. That sounds fair to me. Sometimes it just doesn’t work that way. For whatever reason, the cheque doesn’t arrive in the mail the next day. That’s when a process for AR is needed. I’m going to tell you the textbook way to do […]
What is Cash Flow? Cash Flow is the movement of cash in your business. It is not your income and expenses; although it is related. The difference is that your profit and loss is a measure of money you made and the related expenses. Your cash flow projects when you will receive that money and […]

Several years ago I realized I had more on my plate than I could possibly accomplish. I wrote down a list of everything I was doing with the intention of crossing a bunch off. The only thing I wanted to ditch was the housework; but given my lack of enthusiasm for that, it only saved […]
If you take a jar, pour in sand, then pebbles and try to put in the rocks – they won’t fit. Put the rocks in first, then the pebbles into the spaces, finally put in the sand; then it all fits. Not only that, you’ll find there’s always room for a glass of wine. That’s […]
I love Will Smith movies. In this video he talks about many of the things we’ve talked about this month. You can see the results he’s had.
Give people what they want The best and most effective way to increase your bottom line is to give people what they want. Make your product/service the best it can be. The more you help your customers to serve their customers/family/community the more they will buy from you and talk about you. Give to get […]
