Top 10 Reasons Why Invoice Factoring Is The Most Reliable Form Of Business Financing
"Martin, Italy sounds about right!!! Ireland 10 years on has been through boom-bust. This always effects payment delays - it's worse now than ever for small businesses. The focus is constantly on cash flow and getting the money in - it's so tiring!"Top 10 Reasons Why Invoice Factoring Is The Most Reliable Form Of Business Financing
"I often get frustrated that people cannot just pay on time. I know there is so much at stake by witholding money, on both sides, but the small business owner is always the one to lose out the most - especially with cash-flow. That has a knock-on effect - they don't get paid, so cannot pay the other small business who provides services, and on and on. And we have to pay the big companies up front, or on time! No lee-way. Rant over! Great post by Andrew, and I agree about discounting - I use it to get paid on or before time - improves my cash-flow immensely. I enjoyed especially your points 3 and 4, especially for the medium size business or HTSU that is expanding quickly - and finance is desperately needed."Online Promotion for Small Business - 5 Cheap Methods to Try
"2 more online platforms I have seen work well are Quora (similar to YA) and LinkedIn groups, if you can find the right ones. I don't utilise either of them enough - so thanks for the reminders. Your tips demonstrate easy ways to utilise the "freebies" that are of value out in the interweb space, and great for those considering more online exposure for their offline business. I would also recommend the directory sites (especially the local ones for very local small physical businesses) Often, a basic listing is free - again more exposure if proper key words are used, and effective way to be on page 1 in a google search. "The Art of War - a 13 point plan to Mastering Business Strategy
"Hi Elish. I loved the book, and really enjoyed your interpretation of the 13 Tactics. I found it quite easy to read about them from a business perspective. Perhaps the long standing learning i have gained form the book (as it's a couple of years since I read it) is linked to all that I am currently reading and learning about online business and communication - always think what your customers wants to solve, and they are more concerned about their problem / pain than your suggested solutions. They want you to offer them their solution, not yours. This form of thinking propels us into strategy immediately, compelling us to think of the opposite side's point of view. Great analysis, and what a monster post!"Getting To 100K Unique Visitors P/M And 10 Lessons Learnt Along The Way - Tweak Your Biz

On to bigger and better, and I am proud to be part of this community. Thanks for sharing your fab tips Niall, meaty and useful for us humbles :-)"New Years Resolutions - 5 Reasons Why They Fail
"Now that's a resolution well made and adhered to Helen! You demonstrate the need for a goal and process of how to achieve that with your 3 point plan - easy and doable. Perhaps grandeur allows us sweep our way to unrealistic goals, and ultimately the fast slide to the bottom..."New Years Resolutions - 5 Reasons Why They Fail
"Hi Martin, Thanks for sharing your post - it sure helps to document things, as we are such a forgetful race, and easily forget wins, successes and achievements we have made throughout the year - or even that we WERE in fact more charitable, more active or less negative. How do we know we have been successful? Only by documenting :) Well done!"Subscribe

The Real Fun Of Business: Seizing Inflection Points!
"Perhaps just highlighting the civil vs private chasm Bob? Academics and universities produce amazing studies, results, innovations, and discoveries. It's sharing and exploiting them for the benefit of the people I feel they struggle with, simply because of mindset. Business owners on the other hand will take every opportunity to grow and exploit great ideas, innovations, and great discoveries. I think one side can learn from the other. When the 2 "sides" get together??? Amazing things can and do happen! Great post Bob - and thanks for sharing your insights from your experience."
