65 Important Links In The Chain Of |
Here are 65 important links in the chain of success in business -
1. Start Small
The first two years in business is usually the most critical. It is the time when
you spend money, not only setting up your business, but also in attracting
first-time customers. Unless you have unlimited funds, it is usually best to
start small. Keep your overheads to a minimum until you are confident of
success. When setting up a home-based business, consider starting off in
your spare time while retaining your full-time income. Then, when the time is
right, expand your venture into a full-time business. This is a great way of
minimising your risk of failure.
2. Get Out Of Debt
The quicker the better! That’s not to say that you should not borrow money
to grow your small business. If the numbers stack up - then why not? An
injection of cash at the right time, for the right purpose, could be just what
the doctor ordered. However, loan interest charges and repayments on
monies borrowed, are a constant drain on cash flow.
3. Don’t Waste Money
When starting a business be careful about spending money on non-
essential items. For example, you may want a cellular phone - but do you
really need one to operate your business efficiently? You may want a late
model car - but does your business really need the latest model? Have a
firm grasp of what things cost and their value to your business.
4. Avoid The Cash Flow Trap
Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business. Poor cash flow is often the first
indicator that a business is in trouble and not making enough (or any) profit.
Cash flow needs to be watched closely in any business, especially one that
is just starting off. Things always seem to cost more than one imagined and
sales (or payments) can take a long time to start flowing in.
Success is connected to a chain of thinking, systems and
actions - all linked and working together, day in and day out.
Maintaining good cash flow in a new business can be difficult especially if
the business begins its life under-capitalized. A new business is
disadvantaged by not having previous business records to budget with. The
owner usually has to rely on estimated sales volumes, estimated overhead
expenses and estimated seasonal variances etc - all of which could prove to
be wildly inaccurate.
When expanding a small business, be careful not to let cash flow become
too tight. Bankers and suppliers need to have confidence in your ability to
meet your debts. If cash flow gets too tight, then perhaps you need to
rethink the way you are doing business. Another option is, to limit your
business growth plans.
5. Find Your Passion
Most successful entrepreneurs have a strong passion for their ideas or
concepts. They know what they want and they know what they enjoy
doing…so much so, their work becomes their play. Find your passion. Know
specifically what it is you want.
Imagine for a moment –
Here are some questions to help identify your passion:
There aren't any wrong answers to these questions. It is all about
understanding your preferences and knowing your most passionate

Imagine for a moment –
Here are some questions to help identify your passion:
- What would you stop doing that you are doing now?
- What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
- What would you like to learn more about or become an expert in?
- What hobbies or interests have you experienced where you have lost
complete track of time? - What was so absorbing to you about these activities?
- Can any of your hobbies become a home-based business?
- What would you do to make the world a better place?
- What kind of work or business lifestyle would you prefer?
- What’s your idea of a perfect day?
- How much do you want to work with your hands, with people, with
ideas? - How much contact with people do you need - none, some, quite a bit,
a lot, continuous? - Are you a goal person or a process person? In other words; do you
get your greatest satisfaction from setting and reaching goals, or by
becoming immersed in a project or continuous flow of activity?
There aren't any wrong answers to these questions. It is all about
understanding your preferences and knowing your most passionate
interests.
