The Alligator Business Solution
Book Description
How do you get from where you are to where you want to be? How do you bridge the gap? Getting to your goals is all about making better decisions. “The Alligator Business Solution” is about making better business decision by being able to use all of your information, including your financial information. However, that isn’t enough. Every business decision, financial or otherwise, has to be measured against the Foundational Fundamentals of your business. What may seem like a great financial decision will probably turn out badly if it isn’t aligned with the organizations fundamentals. The first part of “The Alligator Business Solution” is devoted to teaching those fundamentals. Then we get into Best Practices, Tools for Decision Making, and finally some Basic Accounting.

“The Alligator Business Solution” can help you design your future by helping you understand what is causing the results you are getting so you can develop a plan to correct the problems and reach your goals.

The book is full of humor, true stories (positive and negative) and unique graphics. Gator Bites emphasize key points.
