I want to talk about patterns. As a business owner, do you know the ebb and flow of your business?
The hunt for new funding can put a business through many useful exercises. I recently put a lot of work into collating business records going back to the birth of my family’s business. I pulled together three years of records for our friendly neighborhood banker, but then I couldn’t turn off the data nerd in me. More hours than I want to admit later, I have a spreadsheet showing the long-term ebbs and flows of our business.
