I disagree that you dress like Cary Grant. In this thread, I will list some of the ways in which your dress differs and why such important details matter. 🧵

Do I need to have some suits like the ones on the left made? I dress like the guy on the right already but the first guy has a lot more style.

@RandBusiness Dear Rand, Love the focus on small business. You may or may not be aware that we share the same passion for them. So thank you. As far as using an RV from my company that’s just not something I do. We don’t rent them either but rather have a peer to peer model at @GoodSam To…

Anyone looked at playground installation and equipment sales? We have one coming out in the couple of weeks that I’m getting pretty excited about. It’s unique in that it’s large enough for private equity, but also something a well-funded owner-operator or search fund could run…

If I wanted to go bankrupt, this is what I would do: • Don't track KPIs • Neglect my numbers • Mismanage cash flow • Never hire a bookkeeper • Have no emergency fund • Make decisions based on gut instead of data Do these & you'll be out of business in the blink of an eye.

There's a big difference between tax CPAs and CFOs. If you don't know it, you may lose a lot of money. Last year, one client earned more than they thought they were going to earn. So they had a planning session with their tax CPA who gave them some great advice. Or that's what…

Clients before working with us: • No KPIs • Few goals • Messy cash flow • Unclear plans and forecasts Clients after working with us: • 3-5 KPIs • Needle moving goals • Know exactly how much $$ they have and how fast they can grow You love to see it.

I've found that most owners have no idea about their numbers. They don't know which segments: • Drive the most returns • Are the most profitable • Have the highest growth potential Without this data, you can't allocate resources accordingly.

Here’s how you nail finance at your company: 1) Start at the bottom of the pyramid. 2) Get that layer solved. 3) Then, and only then, move up to the next layer. Think of this as the finance version of crawl, walk, run
