			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="Normal">What do you think, what is on your boss’ mind nowadays?</p>
<p class="Normal">It is possible that he/ she has been having  sleepless nights trying to find new ways to increase the sales?</p>
<p class="Normal">It can also be that he/she is counting  employees who are not that performing.</p>
<p class="Normal">One thing is for sure though: your boss is trying to find answers to questions like: How can I  survive this? How could I save more money? Who owes me money? How could I get this money back?</p>
<p class="Normal">Yes, your boss is trying to find ways to sell more and spend less. You may be thinking that he/ she  is meditating on this day and night. You are right!</p>
<p class="Normal">Basically the world of an entrepreneur is made up of two things: spend little and sell as much as possible.</p>
<p class="Normal">But what is so different now?</p>
<p class="Normal">Only one thing has changed in the world of business. <span class="landingKey">The level of needs.</span> Expenses and revenues have always existed.</p>
<p class="Normal">The things that have changed are the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>There is more need than ever for a revenue.</li>
<li>There is more need than ever to cut back on spending.</li>
</ul>
<p>Yes! These two needs from above are more important than ever.</p>
<p class="Normal">As long as the economy of a country is doing well business owners are  hardly motivated to take  their finances too seriously. Normally their profit would suffer some setbacks but that’s all.</p>
<p class="Normal">In these times, if they don’t pay enough attention they will not only loose their profits but they  risk loosing their businesses too.</p>
<p class="Normal">Some employers  do not see this clearly but they are acting  based on their instincts and they are paying attention to their finances.</p>
