Comment on Bobbet Mullings's post:
I agree with you Bob specially adapting the 10% rules.
Marketing and budgeting is crucial to any business. As a business owner myself I use the 1/3 rule. I've learned that the sweet spots in business working in this way for me but may differ for education institutions. For my businesses I dedicate fund in this manner. 1/3 of profit goes to Income. 1/3 goes into business operations. 1/3 goes to business capital account/savings.
It is important to include even small details within your budget.
This only applies to for profit organizations. If you are a public, tax payer institution, you can wastes as much money as you want. I wouldn't, but just saying you can if you want and get even bigger budgets year after year. It's the only place negative feed back causes positive growth.
Marketing stratagies and 10% rule. Will make me more conscience of the day to day operations of our school.
The 10% rule is something new too!
Budgeting is very vital in business planning.
