Most people know they want to start a business. What they don’t know most of the times, is how they’re going to fund their business. This is the stumbling block for many eager Entrepreneurs who simply give up their idea or dream when they just can’t figure this part out.
When clients come to us with their interest to start a business, we make sure they understand what they are getting into financially, and that they understand the words ‘cash-flow’. Too many persons only pay attention to the frills of owning a business without taking into consideration, the in-depth details required to make a business survive and thrive. There are a lot of persons who start a business, and not enough Entrepreneurs who are able to seek out opportunities to create a sustainable, viable business, keep learning, keep creating, and keep innovating. If you’re going to build a business, why not build one to last? Why not build one your children or a future investor or buyer can take over?
So where are we going with this? Listen, if you want to start a business, you have got to keep your head in the game from the moment the idea comes to you, and not get carried away by the ‘shiny object syndrome.

Are you going to rely on the banks to just drop some money into your idea after you present them with a Business Plan? A Business Plan you paid someone else to do and you can’t even explain?

For the businesses sitting around and waiting for the “normalcy” to return, you may have quite a long wait and your business may suffer while you wait.
In the grand scheme of things, businesses have to literally now “mind their own business!” Your survival depends on what you do now AND what you don’t do.
Here are some key things that can contribute to your survival and success:

Dear Entrepreneur, You’re A Bully And I Don’t Like You!
“bully – seek to harm, intimidate, or coerce (someone perceived as vulnerable)” Google dictionary
The month of October is dedicated to many things, including National Bullying Prevention Month. And, as we've just entered the month, we chose to highlight Entrepreneurs, not anyone in particular, but all Entrepreneurs.
A lot of Entrepreneurs are real big, bad bullies and this is evident in how they conduct their businesses.
Entrepreneurial bullying is much more prevalent than we’d like to admit. We hide the truth, and more often, when an attitude becomes so natural, it’s almost habit-forming, it can seem not only ‘normal’, but ‘right’.
Are you a bully business person?
