Did You Budget For That?

Reviewing your financials should be more that than the revenue goals you set in the past. Understanding the drivers of your financials will help you make better strategic decisions for the future.

Whether you like systems or think you hate them, you're using them day in and day out in your life and in your business so you might as well make them the most helpful systems you can.
