Small Business

AdvisoriES


Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise. It may be the last part of a saying dealing with going to bed early and getting up early. It is also the title of this month's advisory. We are going to look at five tests you can perform on your business along with several calculations you can perform on your business to determine how well the business is performing.

Top Story

Continually, I am baffled by small businesses that fail to ask for customers for their business. The example for October is service businesses that deal with their customers on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual business.

 

I don't understand why they tell customers to call when they are ready for the next service.

Article of the Month

It is just a tool. We are talking about money. The October article tells the story of several small businesses that make a big difference in their community. These are heart warming stories of making money and using that money in some unique ways.


Book of the Month

How about an uplifting book to start the last quarter of the year? Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert can give you that boost in both your personal life and in your business.

All this plus the Internet Tool for Your Business and a staff incentive idea for your business.
