Monitoring and Reviewing your Performance

  The most important thing to remember is that many business laws are universal. While it may appear that running a one-person business is simpler, it requires the same kind of decision-making a CEO of a billion-dollar company makes. In fact, often the best CEOs and the man or woman running the successful one person operation think in similar ways. It is very important to monitor a wide range of “performance indicators” in your business, in order to ensure that appropriate and timely decisions and plans can be made. Given that sales, profit margins and cash flow are the lifeblood of any business, owners should place particular emphasis on receiving regular reports on these areas of the business. Knowing the financial position becomes even more important as the business grows, especially if your plan is to grow the business substantially. Lack of a precise and timely knowledge of the current financial position can lead to business failure and have other consequences for the directors/owners.
