Challenges

Business has always been a difficult and uncertain environment. Competition is keen, and costing keener!

As an SMME you often can't afford to have full time financial advisors, accountants or legal experts; and even experts in quality and engineering are often unaffordable.

The information age has given us access to a humungous amount of information, at the squeak of a mouse. But are you going to trust a stranger somewhere in Russia with your future; your family's income? If you gave me a cent for every advertiser on the web who advertises a silver bullet, I'd be in the Caribbean right now. The problem with most of these services are that they're taken out of the Big Business text book - the principles of good business are well known and unshakable. What's lacking, is that in business, one size 7 shoe doesn't fit everyone.

If you do find someone that will correspond with you online, they'll tell you what you SHOULD have done - not come up with a plan that takes your practical situation into consideration. Or if you get involved in a business workshop and training, it's all based on the ideal, and what the text books say!

Heaven help the unintiated that have a great idea and want to try and make it work! Starting a small business is terrifying. It's not something you want to do by trial and error - the downside of loosing everything is just too scary, and often hampers someone from taking the plunge. Unfortunately that's often how business develops - TRIAL AND ERROR; And you hope you don't make any lethal errors.

What if you had someone to call on; A kindly uncle, that's been there and wears the T shirt! Someone who's built a business from nothing, and over a period of 12 years built a successfull business. Someone who's lost a business and built another. Someone who talks from personal experiance. Someone who'll meet you face to face in your business and brainstorm with you. Someone who can call on a group of tried and tested experts to solve any issue you may have.

That's why you should talk to the business coach. It's all about you!

Posted by The business coach on 9:29 AM

Correct small business plan research is vital to the long-term survival of any small business. The more comprehensive the small business plan research, the more accurate the decision making will be. Does this mean you need to pay someone to do your small business plan research? Well that depends on the complexity involved in the small business plan research.
