The Secret to Making More Money and Eliminating Financial Stress
How would you feel if you knew today your 2019 financial results? What if you wanted to expand your business, but felt unsure of the end result?
That was Mary Beth’s situation when she called me for help creating her budget. She had an opportunity to expand to a bigger location and grow her business, but was unsure if it was a smart financial move. In addition to the expansion growth she decided to reduce her discount percentages to increase her total revenue. We took a conservative approach in estimating her staff additions for the growth so she could know the “worst case scenario”. The result of the first draft was an annual loss of $14,000 or 4% of revenues.
Mary Beth did not give up on her expansion plans with the initial disappointing financial result. Instead we discussed what could be changed in the budget. She decided to increase daycare rates by $.50 and sleepovers by $2. We actually made those changes to the budget during our consult call in less than 5 minutes and knew immediately that by increasing rates she could make a profit of $11,000 or 2% of revenues. Now Mary Beth was excited about the potential of expanding her business.
However, she was not done yet as Mary Beth was feeling very empowered with a solid financial plan. She decided to make a few more changes in her budget and finalized it with a $22,000 projected profit.
In less than a month Mary Beth made a $36,000 shift in her business financial plan. Additionally, she now knows the two months of the year she will have a cash flow shortage so she can save money in the good months and not have financial worries. Investing time in creating a budget was the secret to making more money and eliminating financial stress in her business!
“Budgets are what separate the financially successful from the financially mediocre.”
Think of Your Budget as a Financial Roadmap
Many pet business owners
- Wish their business made more money
- Feel frustration when revenues increase, but there is not more money in the bank
- Worry if they can afford to increase staff or give raises
- Don’t expand or invest in their business as they are unsure if enough cash is available
- Pay themselves last from the financial leftovers
- Can’t plan personally as they are unsure how much money they will make from their business
A budget changes everything, imagine if…
- In just 30 days you knew your projected profit for next year
- Your financial plan included staff raises and new positions
- Your personal salary and quarterly bonuses were part of your plan
- You felt confident in your business plans to expand or invest in new projects
- You felt peace of mind personally knowing your pay for next year meets or exceeds your personal household expenses
- You were motivated to stick with your budget to achieve the business and personal goals you envision
Create Your Budget in 30 Days with the Budgets Made Easy Implementation Toolkit
“Creating a budgeting system is the most effective way to keep your business – and its finances – on track.”
Creating a Budget is Easier Than You Think
Even if you have never created a budget before, dislike numbers or are unsure how to forecast accurately there is an easy solution for you.
The tools in our toolkit have been designed to make it easy for a busy pet business owner to use. We use an interview format to walk you through the planning process and include a checklist of the documents and data you need from your financial system.
The save-timing value of the tool is the done-for-you Excel templates that let you just plug-in your numbers for revenue, payroll and expenses. The projected profit number is then automatically calculated for you! It’s also easy for you to make edits to your revenue and expense plan and you can know in less than 5 minutes if you hit your profit target.
As a bonus, our tool includes a cash flow worksheet so not only do you know your monthly profit amount, you also can plan your cash availability. This very helpful tool is not included in most budget plans and no others are customized for the pet care industry!
You also get support as a member of our private Facebook group from five experienced pet care business owners that understand numbers. You’ve got expert support that have walked in your shoes to answer your questions and also encourage you through each step until your budget is done!
More pet biz owners operate without a budget than you probably realize. It’s one of those things you know you should do, but daily operations keep you busy and next thing you know it’s the holidays. Then you may feel it’s too late and you’ll just wait until next year.
Actually, it’s never too late to create and operate with a budget. You’ll love knowing today your financial picture and just think how much easier it will be to make key business decisions when you have confidence in your numbers.
This year can be different when you follow our step-by-step plan to get your budget prepared in 30 days. Our process of short cuts and support makes it easy for every pet business owner to create a realistic budget.
You’ll save time using our templates and the interview in the workbook ensures a realistic result as you consider all changes year over year in your business operations. You’ll also be guided to consider new opportunities that will help grow your revenues and bottom line profit.
