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 ...

A Gem Not Far From a Crowded City

Is your dream house unaffordable? Try looking for it in Fergus.   Fergus is the largest community in Centre Wellington, a township within Wellington County in Ontario and it is just a bit over one hour drive from Mississauga and Toronto. It lies on the Grand River about 18 km NNW of Guelph. The population of this community at the time of the 2016 Census was 20,767, but the community is growing as new homes are being built for sale. Fergus became an independent town until 1999 when the Township was formed by amalgamating Fergus, the Village of Elora, Ontario and the Townships of Nichol, Pilkington, West Garafraxa and a part of Eramosa. Fergus is has a number of natural settings such as the Elora Gorge and Conservation Area, and Belwood Lake.

It is laid out on a rectangular grid, with the Grand R...

Three Things Every Businessman Must Have

Maybe you are curious what it takes to be a successful businessman. Truth is, the things that I had learned more from them by merely observing them is twice as much than what I learned from the entire time I sat on my business management class from college. Here are the three things I believe that every successful businessman should have regardless of the field or business industry you are in.  1. Consistent Energy. In anything, consistency is always the name of the game. In business, consistency of the energy is one deciding factor whether the business will prosper or not. What is very consistent with all the successful people is the fire, the drive, and the passion. They just don’t let the vibe die. I guess enthusiasm is the word.  If you are not as enthusiastic and excited as before, your clients/customers would actually feel it. Whether you believe it or not, everything is made up of energy. Even your place of business has a vibe itself. I can still remember when...
