Finance Your Company: The Dynamic Managers Handbook On How To Get And Manage Cash For Growth

by Dave Donelson

Overview

Running a successful business is all about the money—where to find it, how to manage it, how to make and keep more of it. Sound company finances don’t just happen, you have to plan for them. This handbook simplifies financial planning, shows how to find cash for your business, and explains how to manage your money through good times and bad.

“Where To Find The Money” shows you how to borrow without getting in over your head. Financial leverage can boost your profits as long as you do it wisely.

“Is Cash King?” explores the cash management experiences of several companies. Learn how to get and manage cash from their mistakes—and successes.

“Case Study: Serial Acquisitions” follows the ups and downs of a century-old family-owned company as they make both good and bad buying decisions. Their story covers both the pitfalls and profits to be made by growing through acquisition.

About the Author

The most important skill Dave Donelson learned as a journalist was how to ask questions and truly listen to the answers. That skill helped him in his sales career, too, and was even more important when he became an entrepreneur. Listening to other business owners talk about their successes, failures, experiments and tried-and-true tactics helped him not only avoid repeating their mistakes but encouraged him to persevere and try new strategies. The stories and advice of hundreds of small business owners and managers inspired the Dynamic Manager Guides.

Dave Donelson's careers as a broadcaster, entrepreneur, and writer have taken him to many interesting places, not the least of which is inside hundreds of American businesses.

He also speaks regularly before groups of all sizes. In previous years, he was an entrepreneur, sales trainer, and management consultant. His clients have included one of every seven commercial TV stations in the US. He's also worked with companies engaged in heavy manufacturing, construction, engineering, industrial sales, general retailing, and consumer services.
