by Rick Baker
On Mar 21, 2014

'Stressed' is a modern mindset.

Stressed: don't forget it's just a reverse palindrome for desserts.

Thought Tweet #955

Thought Tweet #955 Take care that cost-cutting & cost-controlling don't neuter your success-focused efforts.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

When it comes to business, I've always favoured growing revenue and gross margin over controlling and cutting costs.

***

Often, people make the wrong cost-cuts and introduce the wrong cost-controls when times are tough.

Which reminds me...

"Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties."
