But It's My Business

your business, your way

Your money

Do you understand your financial situation?

• 8 out of 10 new businesses fail within the first three years

• 80% of new businesses fail within the first five years

• 28% of businesses declaring bankruptcy cite problems with the financial structure of the company as the main cause of failure

These statistics shouldn’t be shocking since, as a society, we tend to live on credit and way beyond our means, and we all know by the state of the economy that hasn’t got us very far. However, when you have a business and your livelihood and the livelihood of others depend on your ability to manage the finances properly, you need to have a system and stick to it. If you aren’t good with managing your money than hire someone that is. Don’t just hope for the best.

- LinkedIn, Really!
  I’ve had a profile on LinkedIn for years. I thought of it more as a way of organizing my contacts than as a business-building tool. This was especially true as Facebook opened up to everyone and Twitter emerged on the social scene. These sites were more interactive, more interesting and more fun. I underestimated the […]
- The Secret to Outsourcing Your Marketing
  At Roundpeg, we work with companies who want to outsource some portion of their marketing. Maybe they have a marketing person but that person doesn’t have graphic design skills, or maybe they don’t have a marketing department at all and need someone to take over all their marketing efforts. Whatever their reason for needing outsourced […]
- Your Grandmother is on Facebook
  Every week I have the same conversations with business owners who target affluent consumers age 55+. They tell metheir clients are not on Facebook or other social networking sites. As a matter of fact, they don’t really use the Internet. Their adament response leads me to say: Really? 800 million people and none of them are […]
