• While it’s not sexy and most people would rather
avoid it, reviewing your finances is always the best
place to start.
• The first stop is to review your cash flow.
• Are there points in the year when cash is tight? If
so, why?
• Look at your revenue and your cash flow trends
during the year to determine how at risk you might
be.

• Break out of your comfort zone!
• It’s tempting to want to fall back to what you know.
• Starting a business is hard, and once you have it up
and running well, why change it?
• While we’re not recommending that you up–end your
business, but we are challenging you to try to learn or
to do something uncomfortable.
• Expanding your business can be uncomfortable.
• However, if you avoid growing, you may find yourself
becoming a dinosaur.
