Are You Taking Unnecessary Risks with Your Business?

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Every day, entrepreneurs and business owners take risks — it’s just part of the job.  They have to make decisions and sometimes can’t get 100% of the information in time to completely predict an outcome.  While that’s somewhat expected, I’m here to say that it’s no excuse for taking on unnecessary risks.

For instance — are you playing roulette with your company’s finances?  You may not realize that there are financial management choices you’re making that are actually putting your business at far too great a risk

Perhaps it’s the way you’ve structured your billing or the method you’re using to pay your employees or vendors.  Maybe you’re just not being wise with the ways you’re allocating the revenue that’s coming into your organization.

If you’re not 100% sure that you’re being proactive about the risks your company faces financially, I encourage you to get help from someone who understands.  There’s no reason to put your business in harm’s way, especially when so many risks can be thwarted. 

And, of course, if you’re looking for a virtual CFO, I’d be happy to provide you with a free telephone consultation.  Just email me today at Scott(at)FinancialFutureCFO(dot)com.

  • Is It Time to Make Changes in 2010?

    Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

    Take a really good look at the state of your company right now.  Are you happy with the way it’s organized?  Is your cash flow adequate?  Are you comfortable with the way paperwork and invoicing is handled?

    If you said “no”, don’t worry — you’re probably in the majority. 

    Most business owners, especially those with very few employees, aren’t completely satisfied with some aspect of the state of their companies.  And that’s perfectly okay… as long as they’re willing to make 2010 the year of change.

    If you know it’s time to take charge of your business, I’d like to help you.  Send me an email at scott(at)FinancialFutureCFO(dot)com and we’ll arrange a free telephone consultation.

    It’s your business.  Give it every chance of succeeding for this year and beyond!

  • When Will the Economy Turn Around?

    Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

    “Scott… when will the economy turn around?”

    It’s definitely one of the top two questions I hear all the time.

    Now, I don’t have a crystal ball.  I can’t say for certain when or where this economy is going to 100% reverse itself, but I do have some thoughts.  Based on the trends I’ve seen with my clients, the seminars I’ve attended and the economic surveys I’ve analyzed, I’m betting the economy will be noticeably improved by late 2010 or 2011.

    Yes, that dates sounds far away, but it really isn’t. 

    There are only two months remaining in 2009, and that means “late” 2010 could be less than a year away.  Besides, I can honestly say that, for the most part, my clients have been affected by the economy but not to the breaking point. 

    Sure, they’ve had to downsize in terms of the amount of employees they have or were considering hiring.  They’ve also had to analyze their businesses a whole lot more than before.  They’re working with, not against, the economic issues of the day because they’re determined to survive.  So they cut where they can and wait out the storm.

    As for the second question I hear all the time, which is, “How will our company survive until then?”, I have a response.  But that will have to wait until the next post…

    Until then, stay realistic and optimistic.

  • Gear Up for 2010 - It’s Coming Faster Than You Think!

    Saturday, October 31st, 2009

    A professional coach (Julie Taylor) with whom I have worked has a really thought-provoking recent post that I highly recommend reading.

    In her entry, she gives a breakdown of all the time remaining in 2009 for entrepreneurs to gear up for 2010.  As it turns out, by her math, there are really only 39 planning days until the end of the year, not 61 days.  (You’ll understand when you read the post!)

    All in all, it’s a really good reminder that you cannot afford to waste time. 

    Even if your business is traditionally “slow” during November and December, you can’t allow yourself to lose momentum.  (Remember - a body in motion tends to stay in motion, whereas a body at rest tends to stay at rest.)  January 1, 2010 is coming, ready or not!
