𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀

As a Sagittarius, I know it’s useful to keep many arrows in the quiver.

These ideas are designed to brighten your night sky. Hopefully, more than one hits the mark.

𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 – Engage external resources as a way to expand and contract quickly and to surpass one-time obstacles.

𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗹𝘆 – Explore the many ways to raise funds based on your vision, values, preference for equity, timing, and strategic advice.

𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 – Learn how to build and apply assets in long-term planning. Start simple and add complexity as you gain insights.

𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗵 – Know when you may run out of money. More notice results in more options (e.g. time to contact investors or lenders).

𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – Engage customers and employees fully to increase revenues and margins and to minimize disruptions.

𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 – Connect company goals, team initiatives, and individual performance so people know exactly how to add value.

𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 – Determine ideal fit, focus resources on only those clients, and dismiss outliers to increase revenues and profits.

𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 – Apply value-pricing based on market demand, brand building, and customers' needs to grow revenues.

𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 – Foster vendor and customer connections to gain terms which improve cashflow and possibly even see investments.

𝗘𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 – Track data from the outset to monitor cashflow and to prepare for fundraises, loans, and taxes.

𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗮𝘅𝗲𝘀 – Recognize the necessary obligations and hopefully discover some sizable tax deductions and credits.

𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀 – Treat banks, landlords, and key vendors as partners. Talk regularly and pay timely since you may need their help one day.

𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸𝘀 – Prepare for the worst. Consider insurance, seek expert advice, and save funds as hedges against unexpected crises.

All too daunting? Pick one area to start next quarter.

Eventually, your quiver will be full as you face unexpected dangers and opportunities.
