On Monday, Jeff and I was joined by Businesswoman Extraordinaire Lorraine Ball of Roundpeg.   The initial intent of the show was to discuss small business strategies in a down economy. However, with her wealth of knowledge, Lorraine provided us with several golden nuggets ranging from surrounding yourself with the right people, to focusing on a niche to grow from. Below is a sampling of what Lorraine graciously shared with Jeff & I.

• Define your niche.
• Define your target market. Determine who are the best clients for your business.
• Continue to spend and invest in your company. You may have to make adjustments but continue to invest.
• Be prepared when the economy turns around.
• Look at priorities. Separate the nice to dos from the must to dos.

Today on  the Transform Your Credit From Good to Great show, Co-Host Jeff Dalverny and I spoke with special guest Scott Doerhman of  The Finance Coach in a episode called Taking Control of Your Money.

There were several nuggets from the show that I thought were very important.

1. Families need to budget monthly not yearly and divide by 12. Each month your needs change. For example, some months children are out of school and usually requires more food to be brought into the home.
2. Put your budget on paper. By writing down your budget, adjustments can be made if necessary.
3. Look at your cash flow. Many people do not know how much they actually make and/or  bring home monthly.
4. Have a goal. Studies show that when we have set goals and we write down our goals we are more likely to achieve them.

I also promised the link regarding Parents’ 5 other card choices for college-age children. Click here to read the article in full posted on creditcards.com.
