posted in Articles, Jane's Blog

“Money is meant to flow. It’s like water — meant to flow in, and flow out, flow in, and out again. It’s not meant to be still.” So said a colleague of mine some years ago, a successful businessman running a medium sized company in Argentina.

I listened, because it was clear he knew what he was talking about. He, his father and brother had started a small engineering company from their home over twenty five years ago, when his brother had become partially paralysed and couldn’t find employment.

Imagine your business is like a fruit tree in an orchard. Maybe there’s lots of other trees there, also bearing similar fruit. From the distant it looks like they’re all plums, but when you get up close you see some trees have hardly anything on offer, others are heavily laden with easy to pick ripe plums, and yet others seem to have a mixture of over-ripe, just ripe and too hard plums.
