Cash Flow

81. Remember your working capital and how important the management of this is: always look to retain the correct level of liquidity ( it is not always possible but you must aim for that)

Net working capital is made up of the following:
Debtors + cash + stock - creditors.
Cash is still King!!

.
The First Year

82. Now you are trading, well done, after all the planning and listening to advice, all will be well:
WRONG

83. Remember never be complacent about your business, do not take it for granted. Successful businesses take a lot of hard work and effort, everyday.. A complacent business manager is tomorrow’s failure. The needs of the business are forever changing, we live in a changing dynamic marketplace and we must keep up with it.

84. Now you are trading, do not expect too much too soon, building the trade up is a matter of building block approach, one step at a time.

85.At the start your potential customers probably do not know you exist, make sure all your steps along the way are with an aim in mind. Build upon the successes and learn from the failures.

86. Keep faith in what you are doing, do not deviate from the plan, revisit the reason why you started your business

87. At the end of the first year take stock of what you have achieved, well done for getting that far, now are you ready to carry on building in year 2.
