Centering is a pottery term. A
potter's initial task is to center the clay in the middle of the
wheel. If the clay is centered well, the work of creation
seems effortless. But if the clay is off center, the potter's
task is virtually impossible.
Centering, or balance, is similarly
important in business. All owners need to balance:
- the sometimes conflicting
priorities of sales and of operations,
- the goal of maximizing profits
this year versus the goal of investing for the future, and
- the time,
energy, and money needs of the business versus the personal needs and desires of the
owner.
It's our
job at Centering Corporation to help the client maintain that balance - using
business
ownership to help reach personal financial goals.
