Cashflow & Tax

RWL Chartered Accountants – survival tips for business start ups.

Keep an eye on cashflow and tax requirements

Cashflow is one of the things that keep’s small business owners up at night. Get a good understanding of where you are spending money and what you are spending it on.

Set up and maintain a cashflow forecast and ensure you have a robust accounting system (manual or computerised) and make sure you keep your business and personal expenses separate.

Don’t grow the business too quickly. Build the business slowly so your resources (financials, employees and technology) come along the path with you.

Learn to say NO

RWL Chartered Accountants – survival tips for business start ups.

Learn to say ‘no’ Refusing work is not a bad thing. Learn what does and doesn’t fit into your service offering. Don’t try to be all things to all people – understand what your core activity is and provide a level of differentiation to your customers.

Stop pretending you know everything

Rachel Wilson — Wed, 09 May 2012 00:17:46 +0000

Pretending that we know everything is one of the worst behaviours we have.

The reality is that knowing everything is just not possible and pretending to know everything means that you need no one to help you. And no help means that you are not getting closer to your goals.

Pretending that we know more than we really do is one big reason that we’re not as successful as we really should be. Pretending that we know everything stops us from making the most of the opportunities around us.

Here’s 14 ways to stop pretending you know everything;

Take notes while reading a book
Ask a mentor “what you can do better?”
Write down the last 5 reasons you failed
Put out a risky question in a crowded room
Reach out for help when it gets tough
Be kind when you know someone else doesn’t know
Practice celebration, for even the small things
Listen to contrarian points of view
Take 3 new friends to coffee and learn from their talents
Teach yourself not to complain about anything
Stop saying “uhh, huh” and “yeah” when you don’t know
Say “tell me more” more often
Keep a running list of books you want to read
Keep asking “why”

And here’s the bonus way we mentioned earlier;

Join The Business Escalator monthly mastermind group, every month we get a bunch of smart business owners together to share and learn from each other about a specific business challenge. You can join (for FREE) at www.TheBusinessEscalator.com

 Who are your customers?

Who are your customers?

Until you know who your customers are you run the risk of spending money unnecessarily talking to the wrong people.

Social media is an easy, cost efficient way of getting to know the customer.

If you are not tech savvy, conducting surveys and conversations among your customer base and going along to events are solid and traditional ways to engage with existing and potential customers.

Once you know your customers you can make sure your selling meets their needs.
