8 secrets to strengthening your business

http://www.feedspot.com/folder/5RXGs2Aa Imagine with me for a minute you’ve joined the circus. The crowd is cheering, the lions are roaring, and the ringmaster has just announced that it’s time for you to walk the tightrope. Growing a company is much like the balancing act of a circus performer. You have to walk a thin line of incoming orders and sales with cash flow, accounts payable, lines of credit, and (most frightening of all) accounts receivable—all without losing your balance. Unfortunately, unlike the acrobat in the circus, your business doesn’t always have a safety net for you to fall into. I’ve helped 77 businesses increase profit and add growth for the past 52 years.

Many young people don’t know how to handle their emotions, and they suffer greatly. They believe the only way to end the suffering is to kill themselves. There are many young people who commit suicide simply because they don’t know how to handle their emotions. Yet it’s not difficult.
