Reflecting on Business Patterns

A sense of financial optimism accompanies the start of the new year for many business owners. However, the difficulty of commencing each year from a zero-sales perspective can be daunting. Emphasizing a rolling 12-month or quarterly analysis might provide a more meaningful understanding of business performance. This perspective is essential as it encourages reflecting on sustained growth over time rather than a reset at the year's beginning.
