The strength and performance of any edifice depend on a sound foundation. Your business may not be a physical structure, but your growth strategy needs the same type of well-constructed foundation in order to succeed. As a business owner, building a strategic growth roadmap that pinpoints where you are and where you are going will help you achieve the future you want for your company.

In reply to Scott Taylor on Facebook. I often search for sales before accepting an order depending on the type of financing such as FHA or USDA. For FHA and USDA the first three sales must be within one year of the effective date no exception. The area where I live has a 45K acres lake that covers two states and four counties. Moving further in distance away from the lake would not be credible for my reports.

We recently facilitated the sales of two businesses in two different industries; both over 20 years old, both highly successful and highly profitable. In both cases one of their critical success factors was being able to choose who they did business with – i.e. being able to choose their clients – and both were quite ruthless in doing this! They had developed their offerings sufficiently to say, “we’re happy to deal with Client A” but “our business model doesn’t suit Client B, so we’re not going

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today. But however well-known these sayings might be, it requires a change in mindset to properly implement a cash flow management system that predicts your business's runaway as accurately as possible. Key to this new mindset is understanding the difference between the Statement of Cash Flows, a historical look at the source and uses of cash, and the Cash Flow Statement, which uses transaction history and forward-l

In reply to Russell. No exceptions allowed to a one year sales rule would be an assignment condition imposed by the lender.

In reply to PJTMC. Another point in fact, the individuals complaining always seem to be, for the most part, refinances. Seems funny the owners of properties that were and are listed for sale with a realtor, don’t scream racism. That in itself is pretty strong evidence the complaints are self-serving. Or equally supportive, no Assessor or valuation company I’ve heard of have been called racists.
