"If you think you're too small to be effective, you've never been in bed with a mosquito." ?? - African proverb.
This quote highlights a powerful truth Dominoes.
It means even the smallest entities can have a significant impact. If you go to our website, https://www.dominofxgroup , on the first page you'll see it right there:
Small Business. BIG DREAMS.
The context here is clear Dominoes - NEVER underestimate your potential to make a difference.
Running a business is hard, especially if you're working IN your business and not ON your business. Maybe you find yourself running around saying "I don't have enough time to do everything!" In your daily life, this might start to make us feel insignificant or incapable of making substantial changes.
Go back to the quote. It encourages us to re-think that perspective. Every small action when combined with persistence and determination can lead to meaningful results.
Consider implementing small changes that help you stay on track. Small habits like a few minutes of exercise or meditation or simply just a kind word to your family, friend or Spouse (who I'm sure would love it!). This will literally transform your relationships and your mindset.
How do you put this into practice? Start by just identifying one small change you can make today that aligns with your personal and professional goals.
This could be as simple as reading a page of a book, or taking a moment to express gratitude. At The Domino Effect, we believe in the interconnectedness of our consistent actions. Small, consistent steps when executed properly can lead to a wider significant outcome.
I encourage you to take small steps with things like your Financials. Start by preparing documents early. Sign up for Quickbooks if you don't have an accountant. Start to establish business credit so you're not over leveraging your personal accounts and credit. Start by staying prepared early so you can leverage opportunity when it comes and TRUST ME HONEY! It will come.
Remember that small efforts can lead to BIG IMPACT. ??
Here's a question: What small action could you take today that could have a big positive effect on your life, your business or the lives of others?
With that said, here's your One Actionable Funding Tip of the Week! ??
So gas cards can be essential to your business. If your’e in transportation, you could spend $6-$7-$800 dollars fueling up one vehicle.
So if you have a fleet of vehicles it’s really important that you have fuel cards because they’ll pay for the fuel, the repair, the maintenance of vehicles.
Even if you’re a business owner, not in the transportation space, chances are good you probably have a vehicle you’re using now. Maybe you’re using it to talk to clients or move location to location.
?Business credit alone can pay for the financing of that actual vehicle and gas cards (like a $10k shell card) can pay for the fuel and maintenance that you actually need.
?But you have to be careful cause if you go the normal route entrepreneurs take, you’re gonna get a gas card that requires a PG, requires a personal credit check that has a way lower limit.
?So how do you get the higher limit accounts linked to your EIN without the PG? I'll tell you how.
