Do You Have the Advantage?

As you begin a new year with your dairy operation, this is a new game where the score is 0-0. You haven’t won yet, but I’d like to remind you – you haven’t lost either. However, consider the following. Many people are busy doing very proactive tasks on their dairy, but do they really know if these steps are working?

To know this, you need a scoreboard. That scoreboard is a Financial Statement. Your CPA can produce a masterpiece Financial Statement once, twice or even four times per year, but a lot can happen between those periods. That is why you need to track your results every month. Allow me to introduce the Success Strategies Advantage™ software.

• Do you know how you did financially last year? This program can tell you.
• How did your results compare with others in your region? It will compare your results with your region’s averages.
• Have you developed a Budget for this year yet? The program can assist you with this process, too.
• Do you know your Break-Even levels for Milk Price, Production/Cow/Day & Feed Costs?

If not, it is time to get the advantage, more specifically, the Success Strategies Advantage™! Regardless of where you are located in the U.S., the system will create a budget for you, and after you type in about 20 Revenue & Cost numbers, it will give a Financial Comparison and point out where you may need to make some adjustments in your business.

It will also, as I said above, generate your Break-Even levels to guide you in making changes that result in better profits. One other benefit of this program lies with its ability to run “What If” scenarios. For example, if you want to automate some tasks on your dairy, you need to know if it will pay off. To learn this, you would simply add the monthly payment for that new equipment into the program and then change other expenses, such as labor savings, that you would expect to achieve with this new automation. This will then give you a good idea of whether the investment will pay off for you and avoid the process of buying equipment and then being disappointed on its payback…

What is the Next Step for you? I would suggest you check it out at www.success-strategies.com and look for the Milk Cans & the video right below them. You can even get a free 30-day trial. Consider the following advice:
