Improving Profits with Anne Dickinson:

Many business owners run their small businesses with little to no financial expertise. This can mean you work harder and harder without ever seeing the rewards you’d expect. Running a small business doesn’t have to feel like you’re chasing a moving target. With a little knowledge and a business expert by your side, your small business can run smoothly, be much more profitable, and you can get your life back!

Anne’s approach to helping small business owners own profitable small businesses include:

• Find and eliminate your money leaks.
• Finally see the profits you want in your small business.
• Stop month-end stress! Always know what your next 12 months will look like with cash-flow forecasting.

• Anne provides tips & techniques to help you find the profit leaks in your small business, and how to stop them.
• She introduces the “Stop the Profit L.E.A.K.S. Formula”.
• Are you running your business financials by checking your bank account? Or are you using your accounting system?
• A specific due date is more effective than “due on receipt”, when invoicing.
• She shares her advice for how to realize more money, more time, and more freedom in your business and life.
• What role does the operations of the business play in improving profits.
• Anne explains the four questions to ask yourself before investing money in your business: 1) Does it directly contribute to revenue generation?  2) Do I really need to invest now? 3) Can the cost be reduced? 4) Is there another way to achieve the same results at a lower cost?
