Are you using everything that you bought? That is the focus of the February Small Business Advisory.

Top Story

As small business ownerss we are sure to disagree on many aspects of business management and ownership. However there are two items that I will always insist on.

 

The first item for you as manager and owner of a business, you must inderstand financial information. You cannot leave it to an accountant.

 

The second item is you have to invest in educating your staff regarding their responsibilities within your business.

Article of the Month

Most every small business has inventory. It may be inventory used as a part of your services. It may be inventory for items used in your business. The article of the month shares ideas of how you should control the inventory. This is important because you do not want to run out of the necessary inventory, and you do not want too much of your money sitting in more inventory than you need.


Book of the Month

You cannot beat your competition unless you know what they are doing. The February book of the month is, The Everything Store, written by Brad Stone and Jeff Bezos.
