Aug 30, ’07 8:17 AM

if you are don't start a business, because you are not ready and whatever you do do not borrow any money from anyone.If you read this and think this is all b*** s*** - and you may be right, of course - let me know why you think you need to borrow money?

Aug 29, ’07 2:09 PM

It seems finally people are waking up to the fact that small business and start-up business, like SOHO-, SME, SMB-, Micro-, Lifestyle-, Home-, DIY-, Hobby-, Boomer-, Professional-, Personal businesses wants to stay small.... Question is why nobody ( apart from WinWeb) is really catering for these types of small business and personal business, like contractors, freelancer, self-employed, sole-trader and virtual assistants.

Aug 29, ’07 10:29 AM

People have different strategies for dealing with this problem and clearing their head:going for a walkjust taking a break and read about something elsewatching a filmgoing to do some exerciseWhen you run a small business or start-up business, like SOHO-, SME, SMB-, Micro-, Lifestyle-, Home-, DIY-, Hobby-, Boomer-, Professional-, Personal business, you can also talk to people associated with you or your business - people you trust: your staffyour accountantyour bookkeeperyour virtual assistantyour friendsyour business advisor or mentorWe all need advice from time to time - worrying about a problem has never solved anything. But be selective who you ask and remember what Blaise Pascal once said:"What a difficult thing it is to ask someone's advice on a matter without colouring his judgement by the way in which we present our problem."So make sure, when you ask people for advice not to waste your and their time by "colouring" your problem - you will quickly learn there is solution to almost any problem.

Small Business Failure – Reason: Management Control

Aug 28, ’07 12:41 PM

You can pick and choose what you do work-wise everyday, you can not pick and choose what you should know about and make decisions about - this is your business, not your staffs business - act like it.Am I running my business or is it running "itself"?... When I hire people I always hire people who do something better than I, but you have to stay involved.You can see other reasons for small business and personal business, like contractors, freelancer, self-employed, sole-trader and virtual assistants failures in my Health Check Category, if you can add to this list please do so, I would welcome your comments.

If You Work All Day, You Have No Time To Make Any Money!

Aug 25, ’07 10:23 AM

His answer was:Remember always, if you work all day, then you have no time to make any money, you are too busy.As you can well imagine, here is was about 20 years old and this guy came out with a statement like this, I thought he was completely mad and insane.... He was talking about having time to have a vision and dream, think about your small business and not about your products, standing back and getting out of the proverbial forrest, so the trees are not in the way.So why not use this weekend, stop working and do some dreaming about what could be - nurture your vision for your small business and see where it takes you.

Cost Cutting for Small Business – Payment Terms

Aug 24, ’07 3:37 PM

There are two ways to get better payment terms from your suppliers - make sure you know what the pricing is and negotiate the payment terms last, without warning. Most businesses do not expect small business and start-up business, like SOHO-, SME, SMB-, Micro-, Lifestyle-, Home-, DIY-, Hobby-, Boomer-, Professional-, Personal businesses to negotiate payment terms, so you have the element of surprise on your side - and it makes you look more professional.Firstly there is the extended payment term, of 60, 90 and 180 days - see if your supplier will allow any of those terms.

Small Business Failure – Reason: Cash-Flow

Aug 24, ’07 11:37 AM

Check your cash-flow each time before you make a bigger purchase or hire staff which is not in the plan, you will quiet easily see if you can afford to do it or not.How much reserves does my business have?... On those terms you should get an overdraft, even if you do not need it, so if something unexpected happens you got the cash-flow reserve.The importance of your cash-flow situation can not be overestimated, as long as you can pay your bills you are in business - as the saying goes: Cash Is King!You can see other reasons for small business and personal business, like contractors, freelancer, self-employed, sole-trader and virtual assistants failures in my Health Check Category, if you can add to this list please do so, I would welcome your comments.
