Welcome to a journey decades in the making. What you see here is the culmination of over forty years of business experience, five years of intensive development, and a lifetime dedicated to mastering the fundamentals of business success. As a seasoned business executive turned author, I've witnessed firsthand how a strong grasp of business basics, centered around a Cash Flow First Mindset, can make the difference between thriving and merely surviving.

 

The Genesis of the Back to Basics Approach

Over the past five years, I've been on a mission to transform my wealth of practical knowledge into accessible, powerful resources for SMB owners and managers. What started as a set of twenty specialized consulting tools has evolved into a comprehensive series of books, each designed to address specific challenges faced by SMBs.

 

This series embodies my "Back to Basics" philosophy - a return to the fundamental principles that I've seen drive success time and time again throughout my career. These aren't trendy quick-fixes or untested theories. They're battle-tested strategies, born from real-world experience and refined through years of practical application.

 

The Cash Flow First Mindset: The Core of Back to Basics

At the heart of the Back to Basics philosophy lies the Cash Flow First Mindset. This revolutionary approach ensures that every business decision, from daily operations to long-term strategy, is viewed through the lens of its impact on cash flow. It's not just about profitability on paper; it's about ensuring your business has the lifeblood it needs to thrive and grow.
