Why Most Small Businesses Fail
Most people who start a business are not professional entrepreneurs. As a business owner you need to see the big picture. The list of topics you need knowledge of to be successful is overwhelming so most people don’t even know how much they really don’t know.
I am sharing this information in the hopes it helps people build their businesses and become successful. While there is no way to do little more than scratch the surface here, I hope it helps.
If you ever want to grow your business into a real company you need an office. This is the cornerstone of your business and just as important as doing the work itself. If you don’t see the value in having a professional office you will likely not be successful.
