If just the mention of the word budget makes you go into blank stare – don’t worry. Take action and take control of your finances. For the first three years of business I operated without budgets. I was so caught up in running the business that as long as there was some money in the bank (and often their wasn’t) I just kept working hard. But, I was out of control. I invite you to listen to this message to learn what I did that made the difference: The moment I started to use budgets I had a benchmark, i could measure the my results of my work against some hard facts. If you’re operating your business without a budget you may not be aware if you’re really moving forward. As I found out, money in the bank is not necessarily the sign of a healthy business. This Wednesday, 21 April, the Australian Businesswomen’s Network presents a new one-hour webinar: Budget Basics – Business Budgeting Made Easy The Budget Basics webinar will be presented by Sophie de Somerville of Precision Pays.
