Business Start-Ups
Millions, and perhaps billions, of people dream about starting their own business.
Many, in fact, do set up some enterprise and find varying degrees of success.
The reasons for the success or failure may be numerous, but if there is one factor that is emphasized by all experts on the issue is that success in business requires preparation by the entrepreneur.
As Peter Shea indicates in the landmark guide, Start Your Own Business (a book that all entrepreneurs should have!), some 600,000 new businesses are started every year but not all of them suceed. What is the secret of the successful businesses? According to Shea, winners "succeed primarily because they prepare".
A must have for all entrepreneurs
Secondly, successful businesses need to make the transition between the effective start-up process and the nurturing to solid health stage, both of which are distinct phases that require different strategies and solutions. Business owners and managers must adopt to the challenges of changing times and the transformation of the business itself. Many prominent entrepreneurs have stated that, often, running a growing business is more challenging and perilous than the initial start-up stage.
A solution to these dilemmas of growth and evolution is to remain solidly committed to continous entrepreneurial learning. Otherwise, one must be prepared to pay the consequences.
