What it does
When a year goes badly, many letters hide behind soft words or bury the bad news on page three. Owners and partners then trust the next letter less. A small business, a fund, a club or a charity can all gain by saying plainly what went wrong. This skill opens with the results in plain numbers, bad year included, then draws a simple picture of what happened in the wider world. It lists each mistake, what you did or failed to do, and puts a figure on its cost. Mistakes of doing and of not doing both get covered. It says what you learned and what you will do differently, describes your cash and risk so readers can judge how safe things are, and closes on one line lesson.
