Discover the pitfalls of owning your own business
BEFORE… [you make a HORRIBLE choice!]
It’s really significant dollars rather than dimes… at least that is my knowledge over several years. Thousands can be left quickly if you fail to plan and work your plan in the direction of success. That is, the first step – baby size – should be at the ‘feet’ of one who has been there… done it!!
unbeatable, right? If anyone can do it, I can!! Looking back over many years – 40 plus – it’s written all over the choices made during my first attempts at starting a new business. Yes, I spent most of my career as an entrepreneur, owning or co-owning a business. Sometimes for the ‘right’ reasons, at other times it turned ‘south’ and belly-up.
At the time it didn’t seem like much… my first experience out of business college. ‘Excited’ to say the least. 21 years old, eager, thrilled, ‘ready to roll’ was more like it. NOTHING could go amiss, but it surely did.
Somebody [I won’t call any names] sold us a bill of goods. Just beware, everyone is NOT honest or dependable in business.
You need to know… that goes for Internet gurus too. Lots of hype but not much essence is often the case. Unfortunately, distance keeps you at arms-length long after your money is spent.
It’s different when you have no personal [in the flesh] contact… you are usually thousands of miles apart and most often it is NO answer when you call.
Just be careful or your funds can/will be exhausted in a flash. Been there – done that, too.
On the contrary, there is that 1% +/- group of Internet gurus as sincere and upright as you will find anywhere. It’s like ALL business dealings with homeowners – business owners – it pays to KNOW the character of the person and source in before spending your cash.
