- So what should you do next? That depends on what you identify as your particular small business problem. Are you having trouble with poor records? Are you finding your financial reports to be uninformative or too often, nonexistent? And like it or not, you need to learn something about accounting. Are you having trouble managing your cash flow? Are you always feeling cash-squeezed, with not enough financial capital to invest in the assets, information and people that you need? And you need to learn a little more about the field of finance. Fortunately, we prepared many additional finance related courses that are available right here in LinkedIn Learning. Finally, remember that there are lots of qualified business advisors out there. Sometimes it makes some sense to spend a little money to meet with an experience business advisor. Describe your business, your plans and your frustrations to this outside advisor. She or he can then help you sort through the weaknesses of your business to identify the things that you need to work on first. Small businesses are the source of creativity in an economy. A small business is a precious thing. The embodiment of a person's ideas, energies and ambitions. I salute those of you who have the entrepreneurial spirit and have started or are thinking of starting your own small business. I wish you great joy and success.
