Being an entrepreneur feels like you are leading yourself and maybe a team down the uncharted path to achieve a vision but the truth is - most successful entrepreneurs leverage others who have been down the road before because it's one of the surest ways to lighten the load of the road that you travel. 

In talking with Business coach Brandi Fox we heard a few tips: 

1. Clarify your message whether you are attracting clients, growing your team or pitching for funding you have to be very clear and concise on the story of your business, 
2. Network to leverage the knowledge and resources of others very few people ever achieve any sense of great success alone so don't risk your time, money, and energy on an unlikely gamble leverage others and increase your chances of success. 
3. No one else can be the authentic version of you - embrace your niche and know that your unique qualities mixed with valuable solutions that customers demand is a winning formula for your success.

As a business owner and finance leader, what are you doing to make sure your company survives the impact of COVID19? 

Cash flow has never been more important to your business than now – 

This is a message we are constantly sharing with our clients and I put together a short video with 7 Cash Plays you can implement in your business or even suggest to your employer/leadership team and solidify your position on the team. 

1. Take a draw on your Line of Credit

2. Negotiate Rent terms if you're renting a space from your landlord - try offering to extend your lease further if they defer payments 

3. If your business can handle it - offer Early payment discounts to incentivize early payment from your customers on money owed. 

4. Request extension on outstanding payables to your suppliers - your suppliers may be in a better cash position than you are so it doesn't hurt to ask for extended terms. If you have a great relationship with them and have been a good payer - there's a good chance you they'll consider it. 

5. Explore drop shipping directly to the customer to save you inventory and storage cost

6. Explore the option of a Low Cost Business Loan - Now is not the time to put charges on your credit cards - the interest rates are astronomical - if you're hurting for cash, we recommend pursuing a lower interest loan you can pay back overtime

7. Consider doing a pre-order service - If you sell products this means make to order. If you're a restaurant this may mean making orders on demand vs. bulk prep. 

If you’re not already thinking about these things my advice is to consider and implement them ASAP.
