Numbers are a factor of paramount importance in any organisation – I am speaking of a strong financial support structure.

A good handle on your financial position keeps your feet on the ground! Dream (by all means), but have a plan to help realise your dream.

Your vision drives you. It helps you get through the day to day challenges and victories as you pursue your goal. Finance is the enabler. It allows you or your organization to acquire the resources (people and technology included) to reach your goal.

So be sure to keep your eye on the numbers. Get it wrong and you get caught up in the realities of debt and the challenges of inconsistent economic times. Get it right and you are able to respond to, and act on, more opportunities even in a tough and fickle economy.
