Business  Start-Up

 So much to do, so much to learn and so little money to work with. Where do I begin?

Sound familiar?  It is for most businesses that are just starting out. To make matters worse, most small business do not have a business plan.  Trying to start a business without first planning every move is like building a home without blueprints.  You may get it done, but at what cost?

We have asked the question, "Why did you get into this business?"  Would you believe that 8 times out of 10 most people answer, "This is something I always wanted to do."  But, here is a reality check:

FACT:  Nine (9) out of ten (10) new businesses fail within the first year.  The ones that do make it, six (6) out of ten (10) fail within five (5) years.

Now that we have your attention, lets see what can be do to help you and your business succeed.

1. Plan for EVERYTHING

2. Sweat the Small Stuff

3. Never Say No, No Matter What

4. Never Accept a No from a Person Who is NOT Empowered to Give You a YES

5. You have Two Ears and One Mouth (Listen More Talk Less)

6. Listen with the Intent to Understand, NOT with the Intent to Respond

7. Tell Everyone (Network Your Business)

8. Keep Up With a Changing Market

Sounds easy doesn't it?  But why do so many business fail?  They fail because of four things that are summed up into single words:

• They don't PLAN.

• They don't LISTEN.

• They don't EVALUATE.

• They don't CHANGE.
