00:01:14.787 --> 00:01:21.504

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.525
We are approaching the halfway point of the year and I want to know how you are doing in your goal achievement.
00:01:47.525 --> 00:01:55.722

00:01:58.266 --> 00:02:05.605
I want to hear from you on how you are accomplishing your goals and also let me know if you are having trouble with your goals.
00:02:05.605 --> 00:02:08.627
This is a great time for clarity and focus.
00:02:08.627 --> 00:02:11.486
What more do you want to accomplish this year?
00:02:11.486 --> 00:02:15.969
We should be prioritizing our goals so we don't overextend ourselves.
00:02:15.969 --> 00:02:24.587
We need to decide where we want to focus our efforts and our energy, to maximize our time, review your plan and make changes.
00:02:24.587 --> 00:02:26.567
It's okay and I'll be doing the same.
00:02:26.567 --> 00:02:32.693
I always have more goals than time and energy, so I have to prioritize all the time.
00:02:32.693 --> 00:02:34.766
It's normal and it's okay.
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:42.467
For the next full episode, i will be talking about the Treasury Function and how it can be a game changer for the organization.
00:02:42.467 --> 00:02:48.210
If used properly, the Treasury Manager can be a key leader in the execution of the strategy.
00:02:48.210 --> 00:03:01.510
They should be out front when talking about their role, specifically, cash flow issues and opportunities, use of credit and banking relationships and related services, as they are related to finance options and strategy.
00:03:01.510 --> 00:03:10.942
Your Treasury Manager can help the CFO to review options and opportunities to make the best decisions to maximize the company's resources.
00:03:10.942 --> 00:03:13.304
We will talk more about this later.
00:03:13.304 --> 00:03:15.909
I can't wait to talk a few strategic ways.
00:03:15.909 --> 00:03:18.847
This role could help in a huge way.
00:03:18.847 --> 00:03:24.987
I hope you have a fantastic day and week, keep working on your goals and prioritize your effort.
00:03:24.987 --> 00:03:28.127
