Paying For It All

Ahh yes. Manage and control those "controllables" in your business.

For that, you need to know the cause-effect connections among "the basics."

  • Things like the link between the P&L and the Balance Sheet.
  • How changes on the Balance Sheet can affect cash flow.
  • Why profitable businesses can still be out of cash.

When Owners know and understand the cause-effect financial levers of their business, choices become much more clear. There is a lot you CAN control!

It's why folks have praised the Strata:G resources for "connecting the dots."
