Chapter 1: Business Doesn’t Have to Be So Hard
Business is really very simple if you know what to do, yet I have found that most business owners make it far more difficult than it needs to be. In their desire to make their business a success, I have seen business owners work harder and harder doing the same things they have always done, expecting different results. That does not work.
Statistics paint a grim picture of the chances to succeed in business. Only 5 percent of all businesses ever do more than a million dollars in gross revenue per year. Only .004 percent of businesses do more than $5 million in gross revenue per year, and even less do more than $10 million in revenue. The life span of a business is even more dismal. After one year, 50 percent of all businesses fail. By the fifth year, another 80 percent of those businesses have failed; and by year ten, 96 percent of all small businesses have gone out of business—and that does not mean that the 4 percent that are left are making money.
The message to business owners is clear: You cannot leave your business success to chance or luck. Furthermore, what got you to your current point most likely will not get you where you want to go. To beat the odds, you have to take control of your business and learn the necessary skills to grow and sustain your business. You did not go into business to just get by, but if you are not proactive about ensuring your success, then just getting by or failure will be the end result.
If you really want to take your business to a new level and ensure your competitive advantage, profitability, and success, you need to learn and master the steps to sustainable business growth and acceleration. The process of achieving success means you can never stop learning and you must continually upgrade your skill sets and capabilities.
The secret in business is mastering the little things that can make significant differences in your business. It is the little things done consistently over time that add up to great success. If you want to grow your business, it starts with you.
This is about understanding some of the foundational steps necessary to building a strong business that can achieve what you have always dreamed. Every building has a foundation, and if the foundation is not strong, the building will fall. Fortunately, you can shore up the foundation of your business with the steps in this book. Here is your quick and dirty guide to business success.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
