You know positive OP in February is possible... It just takes some forethought. Something MANY businesses do at the end of each year yields them a tax writeoff.. but in this case a good February.

Start in December...... look at your supplies. At my last office we bought cleaning supplies .. in bulk. So we stocked up in December. Made sure we had ALL the office supplies we needed. (It helped when a customer attended a conference and couldn't truck several reams of plain paper home so he offered it to the office. ) Then you are not making those purchases in February. That stuff adds up.

Damn, I got sick and tired of hearing the rantings, at area and regional meetings.. figured out how to eliminate every possible cost. Even got all the trainees and car preps in on it. They got fired up and it carried into the next few months and then you focus on increasing income. Its a WIN-WIN
