Starting a small business can be exciting.
If you want your business to survive over the long run, you’ll need good marketing and good systems. Without those two things, the best product (or service) in the world won’t keep a business alive.
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, every year over a million people in the U.S. look into starting a small business every year. Statistics tell us that by the end of the first year at least 40% of them will be out of business. And within 5 years, more than 80% of new businesses (800,000) will fail.
So why do so many businesses fail in the first five years?
Because they don’t have systems!
Without systems, you don’t have a real business because everything falls apart when one person (or you) goes on vacation. If you don’t put systems in place, your business will run your life. You will wake-up in 10 years with a bigger stomach (and less hair) and wonder what the hell happened.
On the other hand … with GOOD systems, you can train ordinary people (with average skills) to run your business for you. Never forget that the purpose of your business is to serve your life, not the other way around. That’s why you should INVEST in a Business Course, so you can learn how to create and implement systems that allow your business to serve you.
