3/30/10 at 5:06 PM by Frank Coker Understanding financial ratios is an important part of managing company performance. Large companies have had a long tradition of using ratios as a way to monitor and manage business performance. Small companies have tended to not use ratios because of the work involved in doing the calculations. That is all changing with tools like the Corelytics Financial Dashboard that not…
3/22/10 at 7:14 AM by Ray Makela Dashboards are relatively new to the small business community (under 50 employees), yet the SBA (Small Business Administration) reports small businesses make up at least 50% of the nonfarm GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in the United States. The potential for dashboards to help this important sector is just as signficant (maybe more so) as with large enterprises.
The challenge is in being able…
2/4/10 at 12:35 PM by Tony Lael If your business is not evolving, it may mean things are getting too easy for you – watch out, another company is going to sneak past you.
I can’t tell you how energizing it is to work with and around people who are ‘playing to win’ and not ‘playing not to lose’. I used to think that being conservative in…

Everyone says the 5-year mark is a milestone, but it feels like we’re just getting started.

12/14/09 at 7:28 PM by Tony Lael We have all been there – you wake up breathing heavily. You don’t know why you are awake, but you have to get to a computer because you think you may have discovered another way to manipulate your (all powerful) spreadsheet or database views to see things in a different light, learn something new or figure out a problem.
Maybe this urge comes to you while…
5/6/09 at 10:49 AM by Tony Lael As described in The E-Myth – Why Most Small Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About IT by Michael Gerber, all of today’s small business owners are playing three roles.
Entrepreneur - envisions the future, but lacks execution
Manager - organizes everything, but forgets the big picture
Technician – gets work done, but to the detriment of all else…
2/17/09 at 4:59 PM by Bob Taylor Everyone is told they need to set goals. Whether they are for personal or business reasons, the important thing (aside from having goals) is to have a way to track performance against those goals – measuring performance is the only true way to know if improvement has been made. To be meaningful, goals need to be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant…

8/8/08 at 1:25 PM by David Cook “One Buyer is No Buyer.” It’s a tried and true saying in the M&A community.
