 <description>&lt;p&gt;It is my belief that a company, no matter how big or small has three main elements.  These are:&lt;br /&gt;
•	Product&lt;br /&gt;
•	Marketing&lt;br /&gt;
•	Financial Management&lt;br /&gt;
If a company is able to achieve balance and perform in these three areas, they will be more readily able to reach their goals.  I will probably spend some additional time writing on this subject in the future.  As simple as it seems, with the barrage of information, tools and consultants available addressing every issue that arises for businesses of any size, this foundation seems to get lost.&lt;/p&gt;
