Bank OZK’s Post

Bank OZK supporting us (Opu Probiotics) means it's essentially supporting our local probiotic factory, our chocolate factory, our packaging factory, our employees from Lionheart Life Center, our customers and our local community! BIG IMPACT. Our small business has managed to stay debt-free for over 2 years. Buy inventory, sell, buy inventory, sell, and around and around we went....We were very proud of this fact until earlier this year when we SOLD OUT of 3 of our 4 products - for over two months. It was brutal. During that time I had hit a breaking point and I was considering giving up some equity in my company in exchange for an investment. I sat down with a mentor of mine (who is much smarter than I am!) and she reminded me of the VALUE of having majority equity in my company. She encouraged me to talk to my bank about a business line of credit instead. This would allow me to hold onto all of my equity, but place much larger purchase orders going forward. I was already banking (personal and business) at a bank that I loved, Bank OZK. I met with their commercial lender, Kris Reece, and he walked me through everything. The process has been seamless and today we signed on our first line of credit for the business. A few years ago this would have made me very nervous, but I feel a great peace about it. Imagine your company thriving, but having to pull back on selling to make sure you don't sell TOO MUCH. I have literally been watching our pallets shrink at our warehouse & what should feel like a victory is instead nerve-racking. Not where you want to be as a CPG brand. P.S. I don't get paid (or a better rate 🤣)to tell you love and appreciate this bank. I share because I want YOU to know which banks are supporting small business growth in the USA!

Our Inventory Turnover Ratio is a powerful tool that helps us understand how efficiently we manage our stock. It measures how many times our inventory is sold and replaced over a certain period. By tracking this ratio, we can identify trends in product demand, optimise our ordering process, and reduce holding costs. A higher ratio indicates that our products are selling quickly, which is a positive sign of strong sales and efficient inventory management. Vice versa, a lower ratio suggests that our inventory is not moving as fast, which could indicate overstocking or reduced demand. By monitoring and adjusting based on this ratio, we can ensure our business remains agile and responsive to market needs. Join ✪ Dr. Maxwell on ‘Entrepreneur In You’ for more insights!

Imagine you find yourself walking through a parched desert—completely out of supply — No food or water to drink. and imagine the desert still stretches about 3 months walk by foot from your position.. but you have in your pocket, a $100k cheque that you will cash in to begin a life on the other side of the desert. Now imagine you suddenly have two lifelines: - Option 1: Buy a Plate of Food and Drink for $50k and then get a FREE chopper lift immediately. PS: Normally the food cost 30USD. OR - Option 2: Pay $100 per week and get food and water delivered to you, but continue walking on foot till you cross the desert (ie. you eat and drink only once a week but you save more) Additionally, you get information that a loved one is waiting on the other side (perhaps your spouse or mom) who you won't see again after 3 months. What would you choose? Well, i dont know about you but I'll choose option 1 and 99% will do so too and here's why: while 1% may choose option 2, to walk through the desert in 3months, eating only once a week to save $99k.. Most would rather pay $50k for the opportunity to spend those last few moments with their loved one. And even the 1% inclined to "rough it" and save $99k can be closed easily on the $50k deal... if the salesman shifts emphasis of the sale to show them they aren't paying 50k USD for a meal and drink.. But for speed and the opportunity to see + be with their loved one in the final days before they go away. Here's the point: No matter how bad the global economy gets, there's NEVER a scarcity of people who want what you sell. Period. Unless you're selling stuff nobody needs — and that defeats the purpose of being in business to begin with. It's true that most pivot to austerity budgets during tough times, and are less willing to spend which in turn makes it difficult for businesses to survive... But that don’t mean people stop buying completely. They keep buying, but from brands who've mastered how to communicate the value of their stuff better than their competitors.. These brands do this by helping the customer realize that the pain and the "hidden cost" of doing nothing about their problem outweighs the cost of solving their problems right now PS: using their product/service of course. *winks* In essence, there's ALWAYS a market for everything of value. even in difficult times. and there'll always be people who need stuff that are also willing to part with a few bucks for it.. even in austere times. Here's a rule of thumb: If it makes their pain (problem) go away... if they derive some pleasure from it... or it emphasises their status whether it's a Product or service... Then they'll buy ONLY if you know what will make anyone buy a product (or service) like yours and double down on it. So, you dont have a "Market" problem Get inventive in showing them "WHY" they should buy, and see the sales roll in!

Our vision at Real Prosperity, Inc. is a world where people make choices from a place of freedom and joy (instead of debt and obligation). Imagine if you could grow your business and enjoy your life without the constant financial pressure…  and without worrying if you’ll have enough money for the future. How would that impact the choices you make? How would it impact your health to choose the food and supplements that would most nourish you… instead of what’s on sale or choosing the cheapest thing on the menu? What would you choose to do differently in terms of self-care if you didn’t have to worry about money?  Maybe you’d get that dental procedure you know you need but have been putting off because you’re concerned about how much it’ll cost.  Maybe you’d get a massage or go to the chiropractor instead of tolerating being in pain. How would it impact your relationships if you didn’t have to argue about money?  If you didn’t have to work to make ends meet when you’d rather be spending quality time with your kids or grandkids? How would it impact your business if you could share your gifts with the world in a way that’s in alignment with your life purpose and passion… without worrying about what will happen if your latest launch tanks… or without having to offer programs that you don’t really want to deliver because you know that’s what sells? We envision a world where you get to live life on your own terms. That’s the world we want to live in. And that’s why we do what we do.

Hear this message as it is VERY true! Product businesses get very cash thirsty as the more you grow, the more inventory you need, which equals more cash, over and over and over. You can, and if you try hard enough, WILL reach a point of having available cash.. but it is hard to do and it will get challenging.  #entrepreneurchallenge #businesstipsforsuccess #productdevelopmentconsultancy #marksellar

A P90X infomercial late at night started the shift in their lives. They started with fitness and nutrition where my buddy, Jamie, lost the 60 lbs he had gained, with a workout in his basement. That program and transformation led him to this opportunity to coach and support others. These are not just business partners but also friends. Jamie and Kim both build their business and team in the small pockets of time during the day while raising two young kids and working hard at great corporate jobs. They did it with incredible heart and passion for leaving a legacy. About 2-1/2 years into their journey with incredible discipline, A- typical hard work ethic, and serving others, they were able to leave their jobs to do what they love most. Maybe you’re like Jamie, Kim, Gabby, and myself. You want to build your dreams but need to know where to start and have the people to support you. Let’s start here. I want to share something that I am continuing to learn as a business owner and entrepreneur. Running a business is not all about being distant and professional. What I have seen is that it is opposite of that. It’s not “lonely at the top”. If you feel that way, you’ve used people and not led people and focused on guiding them to their goals. In all of our closest relationships, we should look for ways to support the goals, dreams, and aspirations of those we care about. Let them know that you appreciate them, and listen to them when they need to work through a problem. Doing this will make it so you don't just have customers, but that you have real meaningful partnerships. When you can think of yourself as having the same role as a customer in your relationship, you will build stronger loyalty. Don't just make contacts; make connections. Your business relationships can become a BIG part of what makes work fulfilling, if you let them. If you’re ready for THIS type of fulfillment in your work and life, send me a message. We’re here to help you feel better and earn more income for your family and I don’t believe there’s a better platform to do that then right here with BODi and our team. And to protect what we work so hard to build . BODi does not guarantee any level of success or income from the BODi Distributor Opportunity. Each Partner’s income depends on his or her own efforts, diligence, and skill.

You're limiting your growth & CASH..... By not having a big enough goal and maximising your profits! I've set myself ambitious fitness goal that will be a balancing act... 🚀Much like managing CASH in your business! 🏋️♀️My goal is to lift twice my body weight! 🏋️♀️I've come up with this goal because I want to lose weight without losing my strength 💪 🏋️♀️My PT has said the key to this is eating enough protein and cutting down the chocolate while continuing to weight train. 🚀If you want more cash in your business you need to increase the revenue while maintaining your costs. 🚀This will generate more profits 📈 and if your sales pay you in a timely manner you'll have more cash in the bank 💡 🏋️♀️I want to become elite in my fitness 💪 🚀I want you to become a CASH rich business not heavy sales and low profits! If you had more CASH what would you do with it? ------------------------------ Take my financial health quiz I'll drop the link in the comments 👇

Please don't lie....seems simple enough... Dan and I have been in the following industries for 7+ years: CPG, Bev, Subscription, E-comm, Product Development (Domestic and International), Commercial Property (Lease and Acquisition), Warehouse/Fulfillment Operations, and Brick-Mortar. The above doesn't mean we know everything, nor do we claim to, BUT we know enough to know when brands are flat-out lying. The stories we've heard over the years about delays, pricing, shipping, etc. are wild. There is power in honesty. I preach to my staff that as the world becomes more reliant on tech (AI specifically), we have less and less we can control. One thing we can control is our integrity. We have to make a conscious decision to lie, and when you do, I will call you on the bullshit EVERY single time. I don't care how big your brand is. This isn't directed at any brand or person. Just some insight into ensuring you know where I stand with integrity. #cpg #subscriptions #entrepreneur #founder #liarliarpantsonfire
