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.
