Stop Chasing The Wind

About this ebook
Does your business will have an excellent product or service but don’t have the right strategies to hold onto the cash as it comes into the business. Many times the business owner does not even know why they are losing money and will continue to chase more sales to make more money.
Please don’t misunderstand me. I am not against trying to increase sales. Marketing is extremely important and should be in everything you do in business. However, marketing with poor financial control is futile. It is like chasing the wind.
This e-book is for those business owners who need to regain financial control of their business. They want to stop handing money out and start maximising their profit at the level they are at now. When the business has financial control increasing sales won’t like be chasing the wind but will be profitable and rewarding.
