Baloney answers to business challenges…
I have a great idea for a business. But I am overwhelmed!
Where do I start?
Good for you for exploring your entrepreneurial tendencies!
You need to assemble a SYSTEM, a working plan for moving your
idea to ideal reality. All you need is….YOU…and
a three ring binder. Start
right HERE. Click and learn how to create your Bare Bones
Business System.
My accountant delivers my financial reports every month. But
I don’t understand them. And I feel insecure challenging
her. What to do…without looking stupid?
Oh, that question gets my dander up. And I hear it…frequently.
I am NOT a big fan of accountants. OK…I have met a couple
that have a clue. However, I have seen so much abuse of business
owners by accountants that I am prejudiced against them. Does
your accountant help you build your business? Or get in the
way. Click here to find out.
How much money will I need to start my business?
Aim for as little money as possible. Think Bootstraps! Even
if you have lots of money, money alone won’t create
a successful business. Indeed…it can even be wasteful…because
you can go through a boat load of money before you are forced
to actually craft a working Mission and Vision and a Plan
for making it happen. Aim for creating cash flow from products
and services sold as best you can, as quickly as possible.
You need a Budget to figure out how much money you will need.
Don’t be put off by the B-word. Think of Budgeting like
Goal Setting and the process becomes less stressful. Click

I’ve been in business for 5 (10? 20?) years. Lately,
I’ve grown discouraged. Shouldn’t I be farther
along than this?
Today is the first day…of the rest of your business
life. And the point of power is NOW. Yeah, maybe you have
wasted some time. I wish I learned business basics in 4th
grade, But I didn’t. Neither did you. No wonder you
are less successful than you had hoped to be. Rejuvenate your
company by asking the IMPORTANT
questions. NOW. Click here.
My best employee is asking for a raise. But our business is
barely getting by. How do I explain our financial situation
without disclosing too much information?
Hey…it’s not a matter of National Security. What’s
so super secret about your financials? You know, most folks
would rather share details about their sex life than their
checkbook. My advice: get over it. Share the information (in
your checkbook…NOT your sex life.) Open the books. Don’t
know how to get started? Download
this FREE article on Open Book Management. ADDED
BONUS: Maybe your best employee will help you play the game
BETTER once she is in on the score.
Can I EVER retire? Can I sell my business? How can I get out
of my business…without just shutting the door? I am
starting to feel like I have a ball and chain around my ankle.
Unless you create a business that runs without you, you can’t
sell…or even give away…your business. So, let’s
get started. We can help you craft a SYSTEM…a solid
plan of action for Setting Sight, Building the Team, Making
Money, Getting it Sold, Getting it Done and Making Sure. These
are the components of any business. We help you craft your
Bare Bones Biz System step-by-step…customized to help
you achiever YOUR Goals. Even if your Goal is “getting
OUT.” Click here to
get started.
Gulp. I know I need a business plan. But the information I
have found on business plans so far…is BORING. I thought
business was supposed to be fun!
I am with you! Business should be fun. And it is…when
your Mission is inspiring and you are making money. The Bare
Bones Biz Fitness System is NOT a stuffy exercise…but
a living, breathing lifestyle program for building a buff
and booming business. It keeps you focused and moving towards
your Goals. ADDED BONUS: it contains all the elements of a
traditional business plan (the document your Banker or Investor
must be asking you for.) Click
