How to Manage Your Business Money Like A Millionaire – Webinar Invitation – Presented by BizWebTV

Hi, Sandra Simmons here from Money Management Solutions to share one of the key missing steps that you need to do to manage your money like a millionaire does.

First, let me tell you that successful business money management is a very simple science. That means that there is a simple formula to follow, and if you follow the exact formula, it yields a specific, and predictable result.

Millionaires know and use this money management formula for one purpose, and that is to direct the use of their money, to control their financial future in order to reach their personal financial goals.

The first fundamental of successful business money management is deceptively simple. What is it? It is…Make more money than you spend.

The second fundamental is: Direct the use of the money you do make in a specific way to make even more money.

How do you do that?

The fast answer is, learn and use the rest of the business money management formula
I’ve designed a simple system that automates learning and using the formula that saves you a lot of time trying to figure this all out for yourself.

It shows you exactly how to use your business income each week to steadily progress towards achieving your specific financial goals
• Increasing your company’s income
• Cutting waste and paying off all debt
• Making bigger profits
• Making every dime of income make more money for you
• And achieving long term wealth

It’s a simple, proven system that works. That’s been verified by thousands of business owners.

Here’s the thing…Most business owners are behind the 8 ball – scrambling to pay last week’s or last month’s bills with this week’s income.

A few are on top of the 8-ball. Just keeping up with paying this week’s bills with this week’s income.

Only 1 out of 20 is ahead of the 8-ball and is using this week’s income to pay next month’s bills, to invest in the expansion of their business, and in future long-term wealth building activities.

Our system, spells out the exact steps to get you to here – in front of the 8-ball – thinking and planning in futures so you are in control of your financial future

It is a law of nature that the achievement of success starts with a decision to achieve a specific goal, followed by taking the actions necessary to achieve the goal.

So I want you to do 2 things:

One, decide that YOU are going to be the one who directs the use of your business money instead of being controlled by how much money is in your bank account.

And 2, start learning this system by accepting my VIP invitation to attend a FREE, live, one night only, online coaching webinar. I’ll be there live sharing the basics of the rest of the formula you can use to take charge of your financial future in 45 days or less, and Make Your Business Recession-Proof.

I think you will like what you’re going to see…how to increase your income and how to direct the use of your money so you take charge of your financial future.

I’ll tell you a secret about the private clients I work with all over the world that pay thousands to keep me on retainer – they are not worried about the economy, and they sleep really good at night because they aren’t worried about money.

I’ll show you the basic fundamentals of the system we use that make this happen. And I’ll share with you the results that some of our business owners have gotten by using it, so I think you’re going to love it.

The internet has evolved from an effective cloud-storage and network platform into an invention that has helped shape the modern world. The internet has reduced the costs of daily communication, while improving speed and efficiency. For merchants and online business owners, the internet provides a way to reach the global consumers at a fraction of the costs that they would originally spend to open offline presences in different parts of the world. With millions of daily user worldwide, the internet has given way to promote products and services to thousands to millions of people, at an amazingly budget-friendly expense.

Nonetheless, with the feasibility of online shopping and stores, it means one has to beat thousands to millions of competitors around the globe. This would not be an easy feat if you do not have the budget for online marketing strategies. The good news is you can always rely on Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Since the majority of internet users would search for products and services through popular Search Engines such as Google and Yahoo, you could attract visitors (and gain sales) by promoting your website through SEO techniques.

One of the popular SEO strategies to get exposure and traffic to your commercial website is by submitting articles to popular article directory. Submit Articles to article directories generally do not cost you a dime. All you need to invest is your time and energy. By getting additional backlinks to your website, you have the chance to be ranked high on search engine’s search result pages. By writing articles and being published in popular article directory, you also have the benefit of gaining exposure and credibility for your business, drawing more and more online visitors to your website, even those who have or would never heard of your business otherwise. Submit articles to popular article directories, and get instant exposure to your business without spending a dime.

Based on one recent experience with a custom website client, I feel site owners need to understand that free ad supported website hosting is not for everyone.

The ads exchanged for free hosting offered from one major hosting company are described as done by inserting “advertising on a small portion of the site”. In fact this “small ad” is a top banner that covers the width of the screen with a height of 1.2 inches (30.4mm), and displays 3 separate ads. The choice of ads placed in the banner advertising is fed based on page content, so your site might feature an advertisement from your competition. This is fine for non-commercial personal sites, or a website monetized for advertising revenue only. It is senseless to advertise for your competition.

Website hosting is inexpensive. The decision to use free ad supported hosting should be considered carefully.

The cost for paid hosting ranges from modest to outrageous, so many business owners fall victim to overpriced hosting services because of inexperience. Some pay 00′s USD per year for their domain, hosting, and maintenance when in fact their site is static and nothing is ever added. A monthly fee based on the contingency that something might need to be changed in the future is a waste of money if your website is launched and just gathers dust. If it is dynamic adding content frequently and you receive value for money, monthly fees are practical.

Tip: You do NOT have to include the copyright date on your web pages. Using the copyright symbol and the year means you have an obsolete website a year later. The cost to change the date each January hardly justifies paying thousands annually in monthly fees. Published material is covered locally and internationally by copyright law without specifying the year or including a copyright statement. The fact that content is published on your website means you own it. My advice is avoiding dated material and simply state “Copyright Material – All Rights Reserved”.

Another client told of a service where they paid 9 a month for a similar package which included a logo design and website graphics. Although their agreement also included high quality artwork of their logo for printed marketing materials, the service provider refused to make it available when requested. The website version was 3-color low resolution and looked fine online. Creating a 4-color CMYK high resolution version appropriate for professional printing should have been easy. Instead, the website owner was compelled to shop around and pay extra to have printed marketing materials designed.

When you remove “maintenance” as a service in the example above, your small business website can be online for less than 0 USD annual cost instead of 48.00. The amount this customer saved was enough to pay for a custom site design, and then future savings of 00 a year after the first year. You need a www domain and hosting, plus a site design. Dependable service companies are out there at less than a year for your domain, and less than a month for hosting. Why pay more? Choose carefully when you select someone to design your small business website, and their advice may save you more than the design.

Next, the technical implications of free ad supported website hosting may escape the notice of most site owners. In the recent incident, the XHTML code to create this site was deprecated by the free service when they automatically inserted code to generate the advertising banner. Instead of a website with zero code errors, 10 XHTML errors were added to each page because of the extra inserted code. Currently proper HTML or XHTML code is not mandatory for favorable search engine ranking, yet if you have a perfect design, there is the risk that deprecated code could affect ranking in the future if search algorithms change.

Small business owners are usually too busy running their day to day operations to learn about the best options for getting and keeping a website online. Free ad supported website hosting is available, but the downside needs to be understood before you opt for free hosting. If you select a web developer to design your website and they do not offer monthly fee based services, they will most likely offer advice for your best hosting options.

In conclusion, designers who offer value added services are viable choices for small business owners who choose to have fresh content added to their site frequently. Just make sure to communicate your needs for online and in print to maximize your results and avoid disappointment. I am opposed to free ad supported website hosting for small business websites because anything displayed on your site needs to promote your product or service. Advertising, especially competitive ads, detract from the positive first impression that is critical for the success of your small business website.
