Do you want more in 2012?  If you answered NO, stop here.  For the rest of us, the beginning of a new year brings a feeling of opportunity and the possibility of a fresh start.  In theory, I agree with the philosophical ramblings such as:

• Money can’t buy happiness
• Money is the root of all evil
• Money can’t buy you love

But, the accountant in me dictates a more practical view.  Money is simply a tool used to trade for products and services.  Money is not a dirty word.  And, if you believe it is possible to have too much…I say you have too little imagination.  If you hit the lottery and suddenly had $100 million dollars…think of all the good you could do!  (After the shopping spree of course!)

I have a passion for helping businesses and non-profits succeed.  It is how I make my living but it also makes me happy to help people using my particular skills.  I hope you are lucky enough to feel that way about your job.

So, getting to the point…How do you get more in 2012?  In theory, it is simple:

• Generate more revenue
• Minimize your expenses incurred in the process of generating revenue

In reality, you have to commit to making changes, planning, setting and working toward goals, tracking your progress and constantly evaluating your course.  In 2011 I started blogging with a series called “Plan 2 Profit”.  In 2012, the message and information is no less relevant.  You can find it archived at www.paisleysolutions.com/blog.

We at Paisley Solutions wish you all the best in 2012.  And if you find yourself with a little extra cash, buy yourself a little “true happiness” by helping someone or something.
