Indeed, the Greek philosophy saying “The only constant in life is change” is true. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, all of us was forced to change our ways to stay safe. Established plans, be it for personal or business life, was thrown in the air when this unseen threat began to show itself and now, a new normal is approaching us.

Don’t Make Your Decisions in the Dark…FORECAST!

Never make decisions without fully assessing the situation. Making decisions in the dark will put your business into more trouble. Empower yourself by looking at every possible corner of your business and gather insights from all reports you can have.

A cash flow forecast is a must-have during this time as it could serve as a roadmap. This forecast can be the light to guide you to make informed decisions for your business that will benefit you in the long run.

Keep Remodeling Your Forecast

Cash flow forecasting isn’t something you do once then leave it to gather dust. You need to constantly check and update it depending on the situation you are in. Be reactive especially when things are going fast or slow so you have better chances of making the right decisions.

See it as a GPS that you will need to keep an eye on in case you need to manually re-route it to reach your destination.

Let Your Forecast Drive Your Decisions

Remember, trust your numbers, they don’t lie. It is a powerful insight that most business owners overlook. Get a trusted bookkeeper or financial advisor to help you gather these important numbers and interpret them in the best way possible. These cash flow forecast can be both your anchor and map towards a thriving path.

Build Multiple Cash Flow Scenarios

There are always multiple paths to reach a certain destination and this is also the case when driving your business forward. Make cash flow forecast for different scenarios – the usual, the best, and the worse. This way, you will be ready for almost everything that will come your way.

Instead of panicking or pausing, be proactive in planning! Everything is moving fast and transitioning to a new reality and so should you, especially for your business. See this ‘refresh’ as an opportunity to build stronger and firmer foundations for your business to go further forward.
