Efficient Business Finance

Business finance or the “cash flow” management in business is one of the most vital function in business management. Business finance is so broad and it has many functions like reading and interpreting financial statements, detailing the money that is coming in and going out, managing the money well, planning to make operation more profitable and even cost-cutting and minimizing business risks. Needless to say, mismanagement of business finance is the number one reason of business loss and worse, even bankruptcy. Below are some tips for an effective and efficient business finance management. 

1. Understanding Financial Statements. The most important financial statements of every business are cash flow statement, balance sheet, and income statement. Cash flow statement is self-explanatory. It is the money that comes and goes from business operation, funding and investing. Balance sheet, however, details the liabilities, owner’s equity and assets at a certain period of time. Income statement which is also known as (P&L) profit and loss account, details the revenues and expenses over a period of time, which is usually annually. These financial statements are equally important as their reports are the basis of efficient planning and strategy to achieve the maximum sales potential.

2. Hire Professional Help. This is one of the usual mistake that new entrepreneurs make. Hiring professional help, especially in business finance can save you time and money. If you don’t really have an idea about business finance management, it’s good to start with the help of professional. Managing it on your own without enough knowledge is a big risk for the business.

3. Cost-Cutting. I have explained a lot of ways for cost-cutting. This is the reason why financial statements are so important to learn. Your financial statements help you see the movement of your money and help you analyze the correct approach or strategy to increase the profit and have an effective cost-cutting. Business finance is all about increasing the money coming in while minimizing the money going out as much as possible.

4. The 7-Day Rule. The 7-day rule refers to settling dues not more than 7 days upon receiving the due statement. 7 day or before 7 day to settle dues is one good habit that every businessman should practice. It also shows that the business is in good standing. On the contrary, paying later than 7 days shows a lack of commitment, responsibility, and discipline. You would not want your business to have this kind of reputation. If you want your business to be taken seriously and earn respect, start by paying your dues on time. This small act of discipline has a big impact on your business reputation and the more trust worthy you are, the more customers, clients and business opportunities that will come to you. -M.D.

What the Elites Don’t Want You to Know

‘You are the author of your life.’ I’m sure you have heard this a thousand times before as this cliché has been said by a lot of great speakers to motivate their audience. But somehow, you most likely believe that some lives are authored by bloodline especially for people who are born with a silver spoon in the mouth. And you know that the quote ‘ You are the author of your life ’ is only applicable to regular people so that they couldn’t blame anyone for the poverty and scarcity they experience. -The Trap- Now let me tell you some truths that might shock the very core of you. The things that the world and the media has led you to believe are façade and lies to stop you from being free from the trap. And when I say trap, I mean that 9-5 job you’ve signed for. Trap is the routine that you do, an endless cycle of going to work, receiving your paycheck monthly, that’s not even enough to cover all the dues. Trap is also the miserable and dangerous world that you believe you are ...

The Right Business Goal

When talking about business goal, the first idea that will come to your mind is achieving the maximum sales. Well, there’s really nothing wrong with knowing the business’ full potentials. However, I don’t think that this is the right business goal. Truth is this kind of business goal often lead to poor sales. People nowadays refuse to spend on anything unless it could really give them great value. Sadly, we live in a world today where the only time to catch people’s interest is if it’s something that would benefit them more than it benefits others.  Two years ago, I was giving a motivational talk to people from different walks of life and I opened up about my project of helping one specific community in one village where illiteracy rate was a little bit higher compared to normal places. I told them that whoever wanted to be part of the project could stay in the room after the event. To my surprise, the room was still full of people after the program. I was surprised that every...

The Millionaire’s Habits

One of my most favorite verse in the bible is Mark 11:24 and it says; “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Some people miss the middle part believe that you have received it. I am not here to debate whether law of attraction works. I am here to point out the principle of praying, asking or wishing, or whatever you may want to call it. One of the principle that has worked over the years is acting as if. In my book 21-day-project, I have stressed out that you have to match your habits with the lifestyle that you desire. The whole concept is as simple as this; if you want to be a singer, you’d most likely learn tips from a singer. If you want to be fit, you’d most likely go to a gym and follow your gym instructor. In the same way, if you want to be a millionaire, I suggest you observe all the multi-millionaire that you know. Discover their habits and characters. So, what are the millionaire’s habits? ...
