Do you feel that your trucking company is heading straight for a cliff? Do you feel that your trucking company is stuck in neutral? Or worse, do you have lots of slow paying freight bills and not a lot of cash in your business bank account?Having slow paying clients is one of the worst problems that you can have. Especially when you own a cash hungry trucking company that needs money to pay for drivers, repairs, fuel and equipment. The biggest cash flow issue comes from your slow paying customers that can take up to 60 days to pay your freigh
In the late nineties I took over the responsibility for a $30 million precision parts manufacturing company that served the auto industry. I made a number of trips to Detroit to talk with our customers and our plant received many engineers from our US and foreign based customers. The people employed by the US companies labeled me a non-car guy and basically paid no attention to my comments, ideas and plans. Those who worked for the foreign companies, however, looked at me as a qualified person who, as part of a team, would be able to do his part in finding solutions to problems and improving the production processes for their parts.

Many companies face the same questions regarding how to positively market their business within a reasonable budget. Costs of marketing continue to increase and, as they do decisions are being made on what are the most effective methods of advertising and where you will get the best “bang for your buck.” One tool that many companies miss is the use of public relations avenues that cost little to nothing to promote their businesses and services. Most of these programs take mostly time and very few dollars. One of the most valuable advantages of positive PR is

One book in particular, The Power of Focus, by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt, helped us to understand and apply this concept.

I believe that you can succeed as an entrepreneur, as the CEO of your business, even if you have never run a business. There are many keys to being successful such as: getting involved with something that you like and enjoy doing, recognizing your limitations and taking the necessary steps to add the resources that will minimize their impact, working hard, making a plan and knowing when and why the plan needs to be modified - and many more.

Continually successful people have the ability to be quiet and to listen to what is being said. Often times it isn’t easy. The temptation is great to correct or clarify or question and because of your position as leader, you can stifle or influence another’s comments. When you do, and if you do it often, you lose the contributions of those who are trying to help.
