Welcome

Ever notice that the world is full of experts who have never actually done what they are "experts" at?

Many a business professor has never actually managed a business. Most business courses stress defining business terms but never actually teach the concepts of running a business.

This blog hopes to teach some of the terms and, at the same time, give some examples and lessons on running a business.

There will also be reviews of books on business listed here. Sometimes companies give me books to review. Regardless of where I get the book to review, I will give my honest opinion. If I was given the book to review I will always disclose that in the review.

I seek to start posting on 02 January 2012. Some of the posts will be recycled from some of my other blogs.

The reader should know that there is no one “Right Way” to conduct business that will apply in all situations. This blog is meant as a place to start. It is hoped that you will perform further research and consult professionals experienced in your particular business before making any important decisions.

What is important



In the next few posts I want to discuss a few business terms. I don’t intend this to be definitions as much as I want to explain what they are and what they actually mean to the business person. I want to discuss inventory control, turns, cash flow, return on assets, and other terms to try to show the prospective business person what they mean and how important it is to keep an eye on these key areas.

There is no such thing as a “one most important thing” to do in business. All of the fundamentals are important. For a restaurant, the atmosphere can be great, the servers can be top-notch, the chefs can be the best in the business, and the available cash could be out of this world. But, if the inventory on hand is not fresh or cannot be used to prepare the items on the menu, the restaurant will eventually fail if the problem is not corrected.
What do you think is most important to a business?
