Frank Williams, the owner and operator of One Week At A Time website business in Lexington Kentucky, is responsible for its operation. The website aims to educate people on how they can help the Earth and lessen their environmental impact by accomplishing one task each week for 52 weeks. The tasks are simple and will show people how easily they can make small changes in their life to make a difference in their world. This website will generate revenue from affiliate commissions for recommending Earth-friendly products in line with our weekly tips. These products will be offered by affiliates. We won’t be manufacturing them nor carrying inventory. Instead, we will earn commission on each sale.
Our financial strategy is based on staying profitable while keeping expenses extremely low. We will use the profits to help environmental causes that we believe strongly in. We are more concerned about keeping cash flow positive and cash balance positive. The following chart outlines our financial plans.
