Rudy Mawer: 大型公司通常需要利用信贷、债务或投资来发展壮大。在公司发展过程中,忽视信贷建设可能会导致重大障碍,延误发展进程。作者早期因未建立信贷体系,导致公司发展受阻。许多大型公司依靠债务和投资来实现快速扩张,即使没有盈利。在公司发展到一定规模后,依靠自有资金进行扩张变得困难,需要利用信贷和债务。即使成功企业也可能需要利用信贷和债务来应对资金周转问题。作者因公司快速发展导致银行冻结账户,凸显了建立信贷体系的重要性。公司规模越大,面临的资金周转风险越高,建立信贷体系尤为重要。作者因为缺乏信贷体系,导致公司发展受阻,损失了大量时间和机会。即使规模较小,建立信贷体系也能为抓住机遇提供资金保障。最佳投资机会往往出现在最糟糕的时机,拥有充足的资金才能抓住机遇。提前建立信贷体系可以确保在需要资金时能够快速获得,并以较低的利率获得资金。提前建立信贷可以获得更低的贷款利率,从而提高投资回报率。建立个人和商业信贷体系至关重要,这就像保险一样,可以为未来的发展提供保障。

How should you use your credit card to fund your business growth? Rudy is flying solo in the hot seat today, offering us all the smart business advice we need to leverage our credit to get where we want to go with our business. 

As a Brit in America, Rudy's entrepreneurial game has always been strong. But he reckons he lost six to nine months of time scaling his business as fast as his ambitions because he was hampered by financial things beyond his control. 

The life lesson he's sharing with us all today is that you must establish credit as you grow your business to be super prepared for the day when that big deal comes through. 

Our Man in Red shares his backstory on how his Facebook marketing business was pushing so much money through his online bank accounts that the banks froze his account! 

And now that he's set up with credit for those cashflow rainy days, it's all good. And he doesn't want the rest of us seeking the Red Life to make that same mistake. 

So let's swipe that credit card smartly before stepping into Wonderland!
