Here are the CCJM Consulting Ltd FB Live interview Q&A with Maria Zdravkova of Money-Chats.com :

 1. How & why you got into business finance planning / portfolio management ?
I love money – money is freedom, ability to focus on what’s important and not bother with issues that can be solved with money.
The personal finance for women came as an interest based on personal experience, and then the need for small business finance education was obvious.
  1. A piece of advice you would like to share with startup community - something you wish you had been told years ago about business finance !
Know your market, do your research and plan for it financially. Be aware of your environment. 
  1. A piece of advice you would like to share with small business owners community  - something you wish you had been told year ago business finance !
Know how to read financials and understand your own. You don’t have to be     an accountant, but understanding your business’ financials is crucial for planning ahead and managing cash
  1. A finance business related favorite quote (if you have one) and why?
Cash is King – cash flow and revenue not the same. Important differentiation. Businesses failed, not enough cash to finance fast growth.
  1. The thing you love most about what you do and why?
The 2 important things – health and money. It’s good to be able to help people understand about the second.
  1. What do you do to stay motivated doing what you do? 
No need to do much - the society we live in so many things have been normalized by culture but that doesn’t make them right. See so much social pressure on women or the financial cost of being a woman and that keeps me motivated.
  1. Business finance planning Biz Tip number 1
Understand your Income statement – difference between revenue, gross profit, net profit on which number tax is paid and so on.
  1. Business finance planning Biz Tip number 2
Understand cash flows and difference to revenue, sources of cash vs. uses of cash.
  1. Business finance planning Biz Tip number 3
Use the above understandings to plan, to model.
If you want to sell your business one day, valuation will be based on these financials and the estimates for your future ones.

This is may take different forms such as taking time to look at what has worked and what hasn’t in ones life and look how you would do or have done things differently. Look back at my life and my professional experiences, these are some important life changing lessons I have learnt I would like to share: 1-Dream big: Listen to your favourite online mentors.

Be aware that although some ...

CCJM Practical Biz Tip Numero 1! CCJM Practical Biz Tip Numero unooooooo!

Go to bed and get up at the same time each day, including weekends.  By going to bed and waking up at similar times each day and night, your body will get used to a rhythm helping you fall asleep and wake up each day and night" 2- Put your alarm OUT OF REACH !
