Do you know how much money you need to make in your business to be profitable?

Do you know what it’s costing you to be in business?

Do you know how much you should charge for your services?

The most successful business owners know this information. They know exactly how much money they need to make to break-even and to be profitable. This information is the basis of their business decisions, financial goals, monthly budget and business financials. When you’re in business to make money, as I suspect you are, it’s important to have a system in place to monitor and track your numbers. There’s no avoiding it, if you intend to succeed in business. Additionally, if you’re telling yourself that you don’t like numbers those words alone could very well be the source of why your business results are lagging.

Putting key foundational systems in place is a proactive approach to building a successful business. With 85% of small businesses failing in the first year, it’s critical to put a business finance system in place to monitor and track your results. Your roadmap for success begins with putting systems in place to ensure you reach your goals.
