Week 5 Series 1: How to use budgeting to grow wealth..

What comes to mind when someone talks about budgeting? Corporate mumbo-jumbo, complicated, unnecessary, and I'm sure there are plenty of other colorful adverbs to add to the list. I'm also pretty sure that when most people think of budgeting, they view it in terms of managing expenses. I like to view budgeting from a revenue and profit perspective, with the purpose…

Week 4 of series 1: Death By Meeting...

I rarely hear people say that they really enjoy meetings. On occasion however, I do hear about the ‘odd’ repair facility that holds dynamic meetings. I’ll be the first to admit, when the idea of a meeting comes up, I’m  not jumping up and down to attend.



Why is it, that meetings are looked down upon? I believe the people that are organizing the meetings don't have a good… Continue

Week 3 of series 1: Experiment...How to fail fast!

My post for this weeks second installment is a bit late, sorry for that. I’ve been working on a cool project and we got carried away the last few days. A few of my friends and I were chatting over a few adult beverages about a month ago, and we stumbled on the topic of hiring people and how resumes are a waste of time.



One thing lead to another and we penciled out a solution,… Continue

Week 3 of series 1: How to use reports to influence better outcomes

Well-designed reports contain large amounts of useful information in a time series, making them a valuable data repository. More importantly, if the report covers the right questions, the process of gathering the information can generate valuable insights for your team to act upon.



That information also allows stakeholders to extract trends and status, and if you deliver them in person or… Continue

Week 2 of Series 1: The Tactical Use of Reporting.

I don’t think anyone would argue that business reports are an important part of being successful. I also believe common sense comes into play also, however, without specific information, it is difficult to make sound business decisions. Here is the question: How do you take your reports and use them in a tactical way to support your companies overall vision and strategy for growth? In the last blog post I provided a short list of what I believe are the essential reports to grow your…

Week 2 of Series 1: The 5 Essential Reports To Run Your Business

I have to admit I love looking at data and trying to pick the fly sh*& out of the pepper. There is nothing more satisfying than identifying how you can grab a few more points. However, running your business is more than just diving into reports to squeeze a few more dollars out, it's about building a machine that can grow, prosper and fulfill your vision.

Before I share with you my top 5…

Organize your financial statements: 4s your balance sheet

The balance sheet is the ultimate scorecard, it keeps track of the companies assets, liabilities and equity. In other words, it keeps track of what the company owns, owes and how much the shareholders invest in the business, as well as, how profitable the company is over time.



Here are some steps to ‘go lean’ with your balance sheet:



1) Sort: Make…

How do you choose what you do today?

I think one of the reasons most of us are in the collision repair business is because we like to fix cars. It is something that we have always done, and one day we realized we could make money at it. I know that's what happened to me, shoot, I wanted to be a surgeon. I guess in some obscure way I became a surgeon, I just did in on inanimate objects instead of humans. In the long run, I feel I choose the best path for… Continue

What is your '30 minutes or less, or it's free' USP?

Even back in 1960 when Domino's Pizza was founded in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I'm sure that the town wasn't jumping up and down for another pizzarea. The brilliance of Tom Monagham was his ability to simplify why buying a pizza from him would be the best option.

We all know the USP ( unique selling proposition): 30 minutes or less, or it's free.How could you go wrong?
