I haven't been around much because I've been so busy. (It's been a good thing :smxB:)

But I have a strong feeling that inflation is going to hit hard. Especially in my area. I know there are several threads about this already but if you are up for it, I'd like to make a list of simple things we should all watch out for and ways to protect ourselves and our assets. Hopefully some of the greats on the forum are willing to contribute here :notworthy:

The one thing I know that I am doing is reducing expenses and increasing profit margins in my business all around. From negotiating wholesale discounts, to negotiating rent, to tracking and recording advertising and making sure ROI is high. No dollar is spent without cause and every price is negotiated extremely hard. So...

1. Decrease Expenses.
2. Increase profit margins in business.

Any takers? Anyone add to this?
