Read on to learn the importance of revenue, cash flow, expenses, profit, timing and how to get it right to get rich!<\/p>\n<h2>Types Of Money In Business<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Even if you\u2019ve never seen the movie, you\u2019ve heard the famous line from Jerry Maguire, when Tom Cruise screams, \u201cShow me the money!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That might as well be the mantra of every business person, yes? Remember my blog about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/master-life\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">becoming the master of your life?<\/a>\u00a0We aren&#8217;t in this to \u2018get by,\u2019 for a hobby or a part-time side project. Our goal is to commit to\u00a0going all out and to get rich doing it.<\/p>\n<p>When you get your business off the ground and money starts coming in, you feel good and like you&#8217;re going somewhere, right? Well, yes, but there\u2019s more. There&#8217;s an important distinction between the types of money involved in your business.<\/p>\n<h3>Revenue Vs. Net<\/h3>\n<p>The problem is most business owners don\u2019t know the difference between money that comes in and money that\u2019s always available. It\u2019s such a small distinction, but it makes a huge difference. Even so, many business people don\u2019t get it, and that\u2019s why their business becomes their job instead of their money machine (and that&#8217;s if they even make it past the first 3-5 years).<\/p>\n<p>You have to make some clear distinctions about the money that\u2019s coming into your business. Most people only focus on revenue. Is that important? Absolutely! But rich business people focus their attention on more than just the money that\u2019s coming in. <strong>There are other areas that must be addressed in order for a business to grow like expenses, cash flow, and profit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Revenue does not equal profit.<\/strong> The average person in business says, \u2018Okay, how much money came in today?\u2019 and that\u2019s it. They don\u2019t even know what their expenses are, and they don&#8217;t realize how big of a role expenses can play in your bottom line, your profitability.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Bring in cash flow that is more prevalent than the expenses, and then you can start to spend some money! -Harv Eker<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Know Your Net<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Calculate Expenses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your business has a 20 percent net, that means out of every dollar of revenue, 80 cents goes to expenses to run the business, and 20 cents is left. <strong>You have to multiply every dollar you spend by either five or ten to account for expenses. <\/strong>The fastest way to blow up your business is with expenses and by not properly calculating them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Calculate Timing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Secondly, you have to consider timing. There is a big difference between money coming in and money that will be coming in that leads to cash flow! Most people run into trouble because they can\u2019t pay their expenses, let alone generate cash flow for further investing back into the business to grow it.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s not necessarily because they don\u2019t have the sales or revenue. It\u2019s because that revenue hasn\u2019t come in yet, but the bills sure have. <strong>By far, more businesses go under because of poor timing than due to poor sales. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you get paid after you\u2019ve delivered the goods\u2014that might as well be like raking nails across a chalkboard to my ears! There are established companies that do that, but first, bring in cash flow that is more prevalent than the expenses, and then you can start to spend some money!<\/p>\n<p><strong>There\u2019s revenue, cash flow, expenses, profit, and timing. Get this right, and you\u2019ll get rich. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Now it\u2019s your turn! <\/strong>Do you have stories about learning these lessons firsthand?
