Why Does a Business Fail and What Can You Do to Stop It?

I believe the number one reason why a business will fail is lack of planning. This can be due to various reasons, perhaps because the market research wasn’t sufficiently carried out in the first place, or because the financial burden was higher than was planned for etc.

Sometimes business failure happens because the business owner is not very savvy at other aspects of the business, such as management, promotion, branding, advertising, public relations, leadership, bookkeeping, or customer follow-up etc. It is important to get the necessary training to ensure all aspects of your home business run efficiently, or to hire help to manage these other aspects.

Here are some other reasons to consider:

1. Inadequate accounting records

2. Disregarding or misinterpreting financial records

3. Not controlling costs

4. Fraud due to poor internal control

5. Pricing goods or services too low as a way of
getting customers or clients

6. Lack of marketing/selling skills

7. Not carrying adequate and appropriate insurance

8. Failing to adequately train and develop employees

9. Lack of goal and business advancement planning

10. Not seeking advice or professional help when necessary.

If you know that most businesses fail because they don’t bother to plan properly, what can you do to ensure this won’t happen to your business?

Have your own business and marketing plan and use it every day! Review your goals on a daily basis.

Use that to-do list every day, making sure to cross off your accomplishments. Then make a fresh list every morning of what is left to do, and what other things need to be accomplished in your business/work day.

Be ready to talk about your business in every encounter you have during the day. Practice a 30 second speech about your business so you are always ready to share it with people, and make sure you ALWAYS carry business cards with you. It looks professional too.

Hire people to do the work that you are not good at, so your business doesn’t fail due to your weaker points.

Have a Plan-B! Put money by for a rainy day.

Find a mentor, someone in your field that can help and encourage you with your business.

Join a small business association where you can network with others in your field of business.

Work hard and stay motivated.

You can make your business a success with the proper planning!

Working from Home - Tips to Balancing Work and Home Life

Balancing work and life, or as its popularly referred to as The Work Life Balance.

Balancing your work and home life with a regular 9 to 5 is hard enough, doing it when you work from home is FAR more challenging. You will find that operating a home business will bring to light many new challenges. Some of the best advice I can offer is contained right here.

I love it when I see “work-at-home” programs on TV and on the Internet displaying images of wealth and retirement associated with their programs. They always show someone sailing on a yacht sipping on champagne or swinging their “5-iron” on the back nine, or relaxing in a hammock on some beach in the Caribbean.

They all talk about “taking back your life” and how much time you can now have for family and the “important things” in life. Working from home will FINALLY allow you all the time you need to do personal and fun things. They make it look as though with a minimal time investment you’ll be relaxing and “living large” in no time.

Well that’s a “Big Brown Load” Lorraine. Let me break it down…

Running your own home business certainly has its benefits, but it also has its drawbacks. You’re no idiot, surely you realize there’s good and bad in everything in life. Believe me it’s FAR better to be in control of your life and your own destiny, but don’t be fooled by those images of instant wealth and retirement. These people are selling something. Remember that Reggie!

You’re smart enough to know there is a trade off with everything in life. Nothing is perfect and I feel that if you’re going to succeed with your home business, you should be well aware of what really awaits you as a work at home entrepreneur.

The big myth in running your own home-based business is that it will allow you to spend more time with your family. Now this is technically true - simply due to the fact that you will be working from home means that you’ll be around your family most of the time out of default. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that time is “quality” nor “recreational” .

You must understand your HOME is now also your place of BUSINESS. You make your own schedule, true, but this doesn’t mean you will have any more “free” time than you had if you worked a regular 9 to 5.

Working from home presents time management challenges. At home you have the opportunity for far more distractions than in a traditional work place, i.e. the kids, spouse, relatives, the bed, the dog, chores, TV, the doorbell, the bed, phone, the couch, the refrigerator, the co-ed next door, the bed, the gardening, the newspaper, the bed, the next installment of “Harry Potter”…

Did I mention the bed…GET THE IDEA?

Homes, by nature, are a MINE-FIELD of distraction. These distractions will limit the amount of actual free time you have to spend with your family on true recreation. Now distractions are unavoidable, falling prey to them is avoidable. In order to keep focused on work you must create a work schedule and stick to it. When it’s time to work you must get to work.

So what can you do? You should keep a calendar, schedule and to-do list. Utilizing Microsoft’s Outlook program is the BEST way to accomplish this. Outlook quite literally acts as your personal assistant.

Just not as pretty…or handsome…depending on which way your door swings.

Get up every morning and act as though you’re going out to work. Keep regular work hours and don’t stray from them. All these things combined, will help to minimize falling prey to distraction.

Distraction will either take away from your leisure time or your work time. Leisure time means less quality and work time means less money, you can’t afford either. If you adhere to this you’ll have plenty of time for both business and leisure in your life.

I also suggest setting up your “office” someplace in your home where you can have some privacy. Avoid setting it up in your bedroom or other common area of the home. Find a location where you will have ample room. Any place where you can lock the door, and not be disturbed by household activity, is optimal.

Running a successful business requires a serious time commitment. If you don’t spend time on business activities, how can it possibly become profitable and flourish? I’ve never met a wealthy business owner that didn’t invest regular hours into their business. Sure they play hard and take long vacations, but it’s all relative, because they put in 16-hour work days when they’re at work.

Do you think if Bill Gates only spent 20 hours a week developing Windows he’d be the richest man in the world today? Maybe tomorrow, but not today.

The bottom line is if you don’t approach your home business with realistic expectations you will certainly set your self up for failure. Don’t pay attention to the “Get Rich Easy” scams. Nothing worth doing is ever easy.

Be patient, stay focused, work smart, be flexible and again BE PATIENT!

Use Your Vibrations of Energy to Communicate

In the past, I have touched on the connection of quantum physics and communication. One of my passions is to understand the connection that we create on a much higher level.

This article only touches the surface of this is rich and amazing subject in an email, yet still help you open the door to
how it can help you in life and with your communication mastery.

First is to realize that Quantum physics, which is the study of the building blocks of the universe, tells us that everything is made up energy. Even our bodies, which are made up of cells, then atoms, which are made up of sub-atomic particles such as electrons.

Actually, everything is made up of ‘large groups’ of subatomic particles including plants trees, thoughts and light. The only difference is the way these particles are grouped together into the building blocks.

The studies now being done in the neurosciences have shown that thoughts are biochemical and electrical. They are real things. And that our mind is photons of light held in an electromagnetic field.

We as electromagnet beings of energy give off and pick up energy when we interact with other people. And there is a fundamental need in us to connect with one another.

The studies have also shown that we see the world not as it is, but as we are and when we go to connect or communicate with another person, it is based on our assumptions, beliefs, values, attitudes and intentions. The success or failure of the connection will be based on much of this.

There is also a need to have our external world to match our internal world and a person will often sabotage what is before them if it doesn’t match their inner belief systems.

At the quantum level we are all connected and we tend to attract people at the same frequencies that we are at. This can be the frequencies of our attitudes, beliefs or feelings at the moment.

Because our brain wants to seek out information that matches its belief system, it will attract other people, places, events and situations that coincide with that belief and it sends out a vibration, which is attracted to the same frequencies.

If you have heard the saying, “Birds of a Feather, Flock together”, you can understand the basis of the science. Before
modern times with media, advertising etc, people of the same mindset found each other.

This is why so many of us get trapped into remaining at a level that we don’t want the to be at. We are attracting the same types of people, events and situations into our lives.

To change this, it is important to change the way you communicate with yourself. Look at what you are telling yourself. What are the attitudes that you are repeating. If you state that it is a hard, cruel world, that is what you will
manifest in your world. Subsequently, if you state that there are wonderful and helpful people you will find them.

It is important to tell and train your self to be open to learning new ideas and thoughts. We need to change our vibration level and then communicate with others at a higher level.

Through modern equipment, science has seen the different vibrations that we are projecting.

Negative emotions are long and slow

Positive emotions shorter and faster.

Resentments, road rage etc, create low frequency vibrations.

This creates inability to create your desires.

However, quantum physics has also shown us the we have the amazing power to change our lives.

Discover for your self how.

Are You Losing Your Edge?

Challenge for working professionals today

If you are reading this, I expect you are a working professional.

The world has changed and so is the professional field.

Today, maybe you are also a doctor, accountant, lawyer or whatever title you may hold. That does not matter. My cousin is a doctor and now worries he may be cut off because the government is downsizing.

Is professional destination a guarantee for success, money or fame?

As mentioned in “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, the industrial age has passed and the information age has come. What used to be a hidden know-how, can now be performed by a minor. Knowledge is so accessible in a few buttons, right from the internet.

Knowledge used to be monopolized by a chosen few is now open to anyone. I watched an interview by BBC News last year. It was talking how the internet has changed the world…

An example:

A 15 year old kid was answering complicated legal questions by a pair of troubled couples. They were inquiring some complicated issues with asset allocation after their divorce. With the excellent professional advices provided, the couples thought they were dealing with a experienced attorney.

Note: inqueries were answered through emails

Does it ring the bell? Do you feel the heat?

What’s the lesson behind? What’s the challenge?

You may wish to listen to what Bill Gates says in his interview. Business at the speed of thought.

The world has really changed a lot and is very different from two decades ago.

You may ask yourself, what do you really want out of a professional career?

Maybe you just want to use your expertise to build a business and free yourself from the rat race? Maybe you want more time with your family. Maybe you deserve some respect and recognition as a competent professional. You may just want to explore the untapped business opportunities.

No matter what it is, YOU need to continue your education.

Do something today to explore your potential and not to be replaced by tomorrow.

To your success,

The Marketing Funnel: Simple, Effective Marketing Strategy

No matter if you’re publishing your first book or producing your first invention, you need a simple, effective marketing strategy. So, hiring a marketing agency to develop and implement that strategy will bring raving fans flocking to stores or your website to buy your incredible offering, right?



Well, maybe. Maybe not!



There is a very simple - yet amazingly potent - marketing tool which in and of itself can become your most basic marketing strategy. It’s called the “marketing funnel”, and it’s most important role is to first attract the interest of a minimum of 1,000 people then gradually, over time, one-by-one develop their trust in you…and, of course, in your idea or product.



Every funnel has certain things in common. Each, of course, is very wide at the top and very narrow at the tip. Not everything can come out the bottom all at once. Each also has a certain capacity from small to large. And each is a solid container. If it’s got lots of holes, then it’s a colander!
Your marketing funnel operates just like a conventional funnel you use in you kitchen or garage. The only thing that makes it different is what you put in it!



To fill your funnel, you need to take these eightbasic steps:



1. Discover your center of authenticity. Know who you are and who you and/or your creation is intended to help or attract.



2. Using the information that identifies your center of authenticity, create a personal parable (or story) telling how you came to be an innovator.



3.Create an elevator speech, also sometimes call an audio business card or 30-second commercial.



4.Create and publish an e-newsletter.



5.Develop alliance partners.



6.Speak frequently at meetings and conferences.



7.Offer teleconferences and live events.



8.Produce your innovation - publish your book, put your invention on supermarket shelves, release your new software program, build your building! Your goal will be to regularly talk to and attract as your fans (i.e. newsletter readers) a minimum of 1,000 people.



“Sounds impossible!” you protest. Just remember, that the founder of Amazon.com began his business by sending just a handful of emails to people he knew and asked them to forward his message to people they knew. Within 30 days, he had reached people in all 50 states, and the rest is history.



Not all of those first 1,000 people will immediately pop out of the tip of the funnel and become your product champion, your best book reviewer, your client or your customer. However, as you keep in touch with them, over time more and more will get to know you, will come to respect you and - even if they don’t purchase your product - may well tell others - like book agents, prototype developers, and financial angels, to name a few — about what you have to offer.

Real Estate Investing For The Wise

Property values fluctuate gradually. They gradually increase in value over time. Investors who buy for the long term for the slow and steady growth are truly committed to their real estate investment . The investor may opt to hold onto the property and rent it out to others to earn an income or use the property for personal use as a vacation home.

The value of the house and the condition it is in is another challenge. Will you need to sink a lot of money into it to get it ready to rent out? The rule of thumb is if it takes more than one third of the purchase price to fix it up, it is not worth purchasing. An old home in need of a lot of upgrades and repair may not be worth putting your money into. Buying property that needs some work to bring it up to par however can be a great bargain. Buying real estate investment assets can be difficult, but might turn into a great investment with hard work.

There are risks in the investment business. Whether you are investing in some type of letting property or investing in property to flip, each type of property carries its own set of risks. One of the biggest risks is paying too much for the property to see a profit. There are risks of bad tenants, poor management and underestimating the cost of repairs.

A wonderful benefit of real estate investment is that you are working for yourself. You do not have to punch the time clock or answer to the boss. You need to be disciplined in order to do this type of business. There is no one telling you when to work or what to purchase. But the satisfaction at the end of each day comes from knowing you are working to make yourself wealthy and not someone else.

Being committed is important no matter what type of real estate investment you make. You want to be committed to making a profit to make your venture a success.
