Hey guys.
I'm from Brazil and here business goes a little different, for example we have more sales on credit cards and people pay in 2 or 3 parcels, for example: a product costs R$90,00 and the client pays R$30,00 monthly and I don't see the money this month :(
Anyway. I have a Denim/Jeans Store, for men and women. I've been doing this for the last 7 years.

Now I would like to know if I'm doing the right thing or not. I would like to know what you guys think about the way I propose my revenue goal for the month.



So this example let's stay that:
1) I have R$10.000 coming to my bank account in because I sold products on May, June and July and they are paying now (credit card). Like I said people pay A LOT in credit, and I receive in 30/60/90/120/150 days, depending in how many times they want to parcel. So R$10k coming this month TOTAL (distributed in days, for example 1st day comes R$100,00, second day R$300,00, forth day R$1.000,00, maybe nothing fitth day, etc.

2) I have for example R$40.000,00 TO PAY this month in Total. My rent, marketing, my employees, etc.

3) A little math. From my revenue:
50% comes from cash. People paying me in bills, cold hard cash.
15% comes from DEBIT card. Money comes to my account the next day.
The rest is credit card. Some they pay me in 30 days, some in 30/60 days, some in 30/60/90 days, etc.
So basically 65% of everything that I sell in August. I see THIS month, in August. The rest is September, October, etc.







So in resume:
--> $10k is coming this month
--> I have 40k to pay
--> Let's say I want $5k of profit (so I can improve my business, whatever)
--> 65% of my revenue I SEE THIS MONTH, cash in my hand/bank account.

So do I put my revenue goal to: R$55.000,00 ?
Because 65% of my revenue is R$35.750,00
With R$35.750,00 this month + R$10.000,00 in credit = R$45.750,00-
I have R$40.000,00 to pay and want R$5.000,00 of profit = R$45.000,00
So I can pay everything and leaves my with the profit I want R$5.000,00
Is this how I should put my monthly goal?


Thanks in advance guys.
Hope you guys can help me.
