It has come to my attention that most people do not keep a record of the transactions that take place everyday in their business.This is the biggest flaw in business. Busineses should have at least a book where they write down where the money is coming from or where it is going. This is called financial statements .

One has to know how much they receive on a daily basis, how much in a week and how much in a month. 
Look you must know your finance like the palm of your hands.You must know days when business is less productive and days when business is booming. keeping a book where you write these things helps with this information.

Most of you do not have a budget for different reasons. But a budget shows estimated income and expenses and one must work towards achieve these figures. This is how you keep progress of your finances.

Having done this it will help with future funding requirements, investors will want to see how much you know your business and how much you are making, this then determines the level of risk they are taking to fund your business.
Therefore keep a record of all your transactions .

Understanding Financial Reports: A Guide for Business Owners

Financial reporting is a fundamental aspect of any business, large or small. It involves the creation and presentation of financial data that reflects the company's financial health, performance, and economic standing.

Lets get started.

  Getting started again. So since we said we are starting afresh, where do we start exactly? My number one problem and I believe it is for most people is money.  We may have ideas on how to get started but the money we make in business can only cover certain things. What do we need then? More and more money? I don’t think so. We need to establish a relationship with money, we need to understand it and have discipline to keep it, because it is more about keeping it than making it.  But first we need to learn how to make it because we can’t keep what we don’t have.  I have come across a social Media platform where one can connect with other entrepreneurs and market their business. The interesting thing about this platform particularly is that whenever you use it, you get credits points which can be redeemable for Cash. This alone for me is worthy of all our attention. Basically we get paid to be on the platform. But now one can ask what this has to do with busine...

Target Market.

 Appealing to the target market. In the past week I have took it upon myself to understand my target market. I reached out to them and talked to them about how they would want to buy my products and to my surprise I got  answers I was not even thinking about. Then I realised that we entrepreneurs have a fancy way of saying who our targets are and how we will reach them but these ways are not really appealing to our targets. We have these strategies we want to implement but not appealing to the market. So I thought that I had it all figured out as to how I will market my business only to find that it doesn't work. So I had to reset, rethink and restructure everything. And again I have to constantly communicate with my targets if how I am doing suites their preference.  So for this week I challenge you to REALLY look at your target and if your strategies are working. Innovate and add value.
