Budget Interview

 


  1. What is the biggest expense in your business? At this point in time it is probably the product.

  2. What is the most difficult part of creating a budget? Knowing how much product to order without completely over ordering because you dont want to have a bunch of product left over that doesn't sell.

  3. How often do you stay within your budget? Oh I have to stay in my budget, all the time. I am out of debt and plan to stay that way. I don't borrow money so my budget is very important to me.

  4. How do you determine where budget cuts will be made? It just depends, I try to glance at things every month and see where we are at, if we don't need something and what we can cut out.

  5. What happens when you are consistently over budget? (refer to question 3.)

  6. Have you ever had to lay off an employee because of a budget cut and what was that experience like? Yeah, I had to lay off Heber and Lucas recently when COVID hit, it is what it is.

  7. Is there any leeway in going over budget? As in, if you go over by a given amount will your business still be profitable?

  8. How often, on average, would you say you are under budget, if ever? I try to be all the time.

  9. What do you do, if anything, if you are under budget? Do you purchase something your business needs? Do you use those funds in anyway? Yeah I will try to purchase more product because then I dont have to pay as much in tax.

  10. What is one part of your company’s spending you feel ok with being a little over the budget? Again I think the answer is the product, I produce quality inventory and I want it to stay that way.

  11. What is one part of your company’s spending you do not feel ok with being a little over budget?

  12. How often do you analyze your budget and make necessary adjustments? I try to do this once a month, kind of sit down and see what needs to be done and then do it. I do a big one about once a year, or maybe every 8 months or so.

  13. Who helps you to cut budgets? For now just me.

Nurses are deemed competent by means of a license to practice nursing (NLN 2010). 2.   Leadership is about values  – A leader has to have values, those they are leading follow these values  and learn from their leaders.  3.    Leadership is about service  – Not only are you serving patients, you are serving as a go to for your team of employees.  4.    Leadership is about people and relationships  – If you don't have a good relationship with your peers, you team, the people around you, your workplace will be miserable.

Personality Test

     a. The results of the test The result of the test for me was 'Steady'.       b. Was this a revelation/ new knowledge about yourself? I actually agree with the test and I felt as though it did explain my personality fairly closely.        c. How will this effect your leadership style? I don't think it will affect it, I am pretty easy going and still an important and necessary part of a team in order for the team to function well.       d. What will you do with the knowledge this test gives you? Not a whole lot, I found it interesting and pretty closely correct but I don't think I will do much with it, it is what it is and I am who I am.
