5 Business Rules You Should Break

5 Business Rules You Should Break

5 Business Rules You Should Break

For years we’ve lived by a number of standard business rules, but as the landscape of business changes, so to do the rules.

Here’s the top 5 rules you knew and lived by, but that you should now be breaking:

Growth is Good: Not all new business is good business. After a period of fast growth in one of our businesses, I analyzed our $6 million client base and realized 60% of our clients weren’t profitable and, incidentally, it was the same 60% of our clients that we didn’t like, respect or trust. We bought the clients on too quickly and as a result, they were a poor cultural fit for the business.

Cash is king – Cash is not king. Cash FLOW is king. It’s easy to chew up money that you have by not watching the money you don’t have. For example, you might think you have the cash to grow, but do you have the cash flow to fund the impact of that growth. Your investment in resources, product, marketing etc will always be ahead of your cash receivables curve.

Plan to succeed – In a world of faster, better, now, we need to be more agile in business to compete. Open the doors to your business, and print the business cards later. Call the client with the offer, refine the pitch on the feedback. Failure to launch is guaranteed failure.

The customer is always right - With access to the internet, the customer now perceives they are informed, but the information they bring to the table may not always be right. Our challenge is to not be subservient to them, nor to correct them, but more to guide them to the right solutions.

Social media is the way of the future – Contrary to popular belief, social media is not the game changer, it’s just another tool you need to be mindful of, like radio was in the 20’s, television was in the 40’s, color television in the 60’s the internet in the 90’s. The key to understanding the ‘way of the future’, is to be aware of all of the elements that impact it.

After months of working 18 hour days, 7 days a week at a radio station in Brisbane Australia, Troy Hazard woke up one morning and decided that if he was going to put this much effort into something, then it may as well be something he owned.

Since then, there are few situations in the business world that Troy Hazard has not experienced and survived. A serial entrepreneurial who has founded and nurtured twelve businesses over two decades, Troy has consulted to countless successful companies over the last 25 years.

Through his business career he has owned a diverse range of businesses including a recording studio, an advertising agency, a pizza outlet, pool and spa company, real estate brokerage, property development company, leading franchise-consulting business, and a technology business.

These business talents earned him international respect, so much so that he was elected by the world’s foremost business leaders for the role of Global President of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO).

It's this same experience that gives Hazard such great value as a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) and as the host on the hugely successful national network business television shows in Australia ‘Inside Franchising’ and ‘Don’t come Monday’.

He is also one of the few Australians to crack the USA market with is own TV talk show. ‘Gettin’ Down 2 Business’ aired in the USA on the BizTV Cable Network into 20 million homes each week.

And he is a regular Co-Host on ‘The Big Biz Show’ on the CBS Talk Radio Network and the Business Talk Radio Network broadcasting to 1.5 million radio listeners, and simulcast on the BizTV Network in the United States.

Troy’s lessons from the edge provide businesses with potent and refined tools, a collection of which you will find in his Amazon bestselling business book, ‘Future-Proofing Your Business: Real Life Strategies to Prepare Your Business for Tomorrow, Today!
