If making money is your thing, I invite you to read some recommendations on how to simplify your entire operation, making it more profitable.


--Make a good and solid plan, don’t start without it, as you will end up with two problems now, what did you do? And how am I going to restore the damage?. Always start your planning with the task that is more time consuming, that way you will end up with long term solutions.

--Read, analyze, study and comprehend your business first reports when life was easier and making money was like a day at the beach, as you will come up with old but cutting edge solutions.

--If you cannot see it, report it, understand it, measure it, imagine it, savor it and really feel it, YOU CAN’T IMPROVE IT.

--Take your time, as this transformation does not come from one day to another, be patient, as you will for sure make some mistakes, but be confident that the outcome will be positive eventually.

--Know your business, talk to Employees, Customers and Vendors on how they visualize your place, walk around and see things for yourself, and make sure to write things down as there’s no such thing a gifted memory instead of a common piece of paper.

--Make your whole Staff aware what are you looking for and how do you want to achieve it, you CANNOT do it for yourself, you need your Team to back you up, the more people you involve, the easier you will achieve goals.

--Problems and difficulties are no more than areas of opportunity, focus your effort on what is worth, don’t waste your time and money where there are no troubles.

--Show off what you’ve accomplished, this brings positive feeling for those around you, don’t keep it to yourself and your reflection in the mirror.

Each business has areas of opportunity; it’s just a matter of finding them and act accordingly to its basis to solve it faster and better.
