The 5 Laws for a Profitable Business

Educational establishments would have us believe that building a profitable business is complex, but it’s actually very simple as long as you obey these 5 laws:

  1. Know your cash situation; what’s coming in and what’s going out. Hint:regardless of how bad things get you must adjust to ensure that more comes in!
