Improving results means making changes.

Continuing to do the same things, the same way generates the same results.  Financial performance improvements require the business "equation" to change.  Whether that means more revenues, less costs, new markets, new ways of doing business, or any of the multitudes of other business factors, something must change for there to be a change in bottom-line results.

If it isn't broke, fix it!

Many times businesses achieve a certain degree of success and continue to follow those same steps, processes, and practices.  These businesses by holding on to the current methods are essentially saying - we achieved the maximum success we can, we couldn't have done better.  That may be true, or it may be that the business could have had twice the revenues and profits or event more!

How do you know if your operations are capable of doing more and achieving more?

Have you analyzed your results?  Do you know if you did better or worse than your competitors? How well did you do at controlling costs? Did you maintain margins? Could you have had higher profits with fewer sales?

Financial performance improvements require an understanding of what generated the results.

Every number on the financial statements is a result of an activity that did or did not take place.  The activities that occur generate cash and use cash.  The activities that didn't occur failed to provide cash or use it.  What are the implications to your business when things don't occur? What happens if your business holds costs down and sacrifice revenue opportunities?  Do you know when saving money is bad for business? Do you know when more revenues may cause you to lose profits?
