Ensure Good Returns on Your Investment Follow the Saying If it Does not Add Up Do not Do It

Business is all about making a profit, so if your business strategies aren't adding up to business profits, don't do it, or do it differently.

To be a business � that is, 'a commercial, profitable enterprise that works without you' --your business must give a good return on investment plus a full wage for every hour you spend working in your business. You can then pay someone to do your job and the business profits are not affected.

The quote 'if it doesn't add up, don't do it' can be applied in all areas of your business. Advertising is a prime example. If an ad is run and does not get an immediate response, there is no point in keeping that ad running. It is wasting precious time and money. Change the ad or where it is running.

Increasing your team must also add up in dollars. Perhaps a business should consider setting training and operating systems in place so juniors can be hired to follow the systems, rather than hiring seniors who have the head knowledge of how it should be done. Alternately perhaps the business should look at new machinery or technology instead of more team members.
