Hello to all, I wanted to extend my wishes of a merry christmas and a happy new year to everyone. It has been a prosperous year with an even better one to come! I wanted to share some of my insights from 2008 with all my readers in the hopes of sharing some positive stories and feedback, because the media just isn’t cutting it lately. They obssessively seem to be stuck in doom and gloom land which I will not give credit to or pay attention to.
2008 was an awesome year for Golioth Enterprises, it confirmed what I always knew to be true. Like a scene out of “Field of Dreams” I had the notion to build Golioth Enterprises as if a voice in the quiteness of my mind was saying if you build they will come… sound familiar? So I did, I designed websites, blogs, database templates and built networks of pepole across the web who were interested in the same thing I was interested in… What was it? Business/Tax Planning for Eco-friendly businesses! So the word spread and I stuck to my orginal intention of assisting as many people and businesses to propser in 2008; and so they did. My intention as I have always stated in my blogs was to assist the many (everyone I can) and not the few (myself) and my true passion came to life more than it ever has. To my self this is a Christmas Gift that no other gifts can compare to, because it reaffirms and gives purpose to my passion and essence.
So with this being said all I can say is: Merry Christmas to you and yours and have an abundant & joyful 2009. May it be the best year of our lives yet to come. Live in love, health, wealth and prosperity.
Cheers,
Saverio Filippis

Hello to all, as an independent contractor and business consultant; I come across the opportunity to evaluate corporations and their business dealings. My experience has taught me that unfortunately when it comes to business most people (businesses) fly by the seat of their pants so to speak!
This is not recommended, when it comes to running a business. Planning your business procedures, protocols and routines are necessary. I have come across too many companies that I have provided consulting for that are in debt, and barely being able to hold on to their business relationships with vendors and which in turn damages their relationships with their customers. How does this vicious cycle work? Well it is a bit long winded but let me tell you how this occurs and we’ll look at how to avoid this trap!
You see when you are in the course of business there are many details to look at, there’s your marketing and networking to make sure you have business (customers) rolling in and then there’s the operations side which is maintaining production and product flow. Both are imperative and both require vendors that you need to deal with. Upsetting either marketing or operations vendors hurts your business! How can this happen? Not paying your bills that is how. It is very important to analyze your weekly cash flow and be able with a big degree of certainty telling your vendors when and how they will be receiveing payment. There are many factors that will affect your cash flow; lavish company spending, lack of controls within your company where employees are being wasteful within your organization and the big one: not collecting on your receivables!
Too many companies let the issue of not collecting on their receivables from customers slide because they think that it will alienate the customer, or they will not have processes in place to follow up and keep track with these types of customers to collect on your businesses services that were provided. This is uncalled for and quite frankly not fair to your business! Your vendors wouldn’t tolerate with this type of behaviour from you, so why put up with this kind of behaviour from these kinds of customers? Worries of losing such customers is wasted energy that could be efficiently used to drum up new business. There are milions of people out there in the world do you really think that customers who behave that ways are keeping your business alive? NO!
The point is this, if you have a solid business with good services and products being provided; than it is much more worth your time developing relationships with new customers and contacts rather thatn wasting your time with customers who do not respect or appreciate the products and services your business provides. Lastly, you still should collect on those receivables because the capital collected will go a long way in assisting your business gather new clients that are the kind of clients that you want to have business dealings with.
Prosperity and Regards,

In the current state that we are in here up in Canada, we have an election going on and politicians left and right trying to jump on the green train so to speak. This is a dangerous ploy as it will add to the illusion of the green fad. My concern is that I do not want their weak efforts for votes to be construed by the general public as the new interest in the green revolution to be perceived as a marketing ploy.
We need to realize that if we wish to create sustainable living, we need to do it ourselves! If legislative bodies jump on the band wagon and try to drum up support in view of extra votes for their election campaign… so be it. Lest we forget though; the hard work needs to be done by us entrpreneurs, who seek sustainable living to be created within our comminities and to continue for many generations to come. No longer are we to take a “someone else will fix the problem attitude”; for now is the time to create communities that support and nurture each other to thrive, prosper, and create abundant resourceful futures for our children and our children’s children. The problem with having taken the back seat approach and letting governmental bodies look out for us is…. they don’t look out for us!
Look to your communities and get involved in local business meetings and network with everyone and anyone in your community. With this approach we can make our lives richer and grow our selves into prosperity. We need not worry about riches and such things because the universe will provide if we simply will do the legwork that it inspires us with. There is no one on this planet that can expleain why they love to do what they do with passion! Does it really matter if you can explain it or not? If it is your passion and you love doing it… what does it matter? Just enjoy and get a thrill out of it… trust me the universe will reward you with riches that you could have never imagined.
Until next time create abundance and sustainability for all, and you will reap the same rewards in return.
Regards,
Saverio
