Agent of Change
As we welcome a new year, we once again become saturated in the element of “new”; new year’s resolutions, “new year, new you”, new material possessions, new fiscal year, and so on. Everywhere you turn, there’s someone else talking about how else we can grow, evolve, challenge ourselves…how we can change.
Check Your Mirrors
One of the most well-known “coming of age” milestones happens when we learn to drive for the first time. It is such an exciting and scary moment in life, and is chalk full of new information and motor skills to learn. Before we even start the car, we are educated on safety precautions; seat belt on, seat at an appropriate height and reach, hands at 10 & 2, and to check your mirrors. As with driving, running a business requires us to constantly check the mirrors.
The Pulse of Business
The health and viability of any business can be determined by its numbers; cash flow, assets, and audience. The financial standing of any business provides a clear pulse - a depiction of success or failure (existing or imminent) - for that business.
