You may have started your own business because you have a passion for what you do. Maybe you decided to go into business for yourself because you enjoy the freedom that owning your own business allows. Whatever your reason, chances are you didn’t start your own business just to see it fail, but many new businesses do because of lack of planning. A few simple things can save you from disasters down the road, though. Follow these four easy guidelines to save your business later from a possible disaster.
1. Protect Your Assets
Let’s face it—insurance is a necessary evil. No one enjoys paying bills, and paying for something that doesn’t allow you to see the immediate return can make it tempting to put off the expense.

By nature I’m a crummy networker. I know this might strike you as odd, coming from someone who teaches how to attract business, but this is a fact. I’m a crummy social networker, I’m a crummy Happy Hour go-er, I’m a crummy Chamber of Commerce attendee, and in general I’m a crummy schmoozer. When given a choice I’d rather go to the small dinner party rather than to the bar, would rather be one to one coaching a client friend than stand in front of a crowd and speak; no one would ever mistake me for the “life of the party”. That would have been my ex husbands job. And I was glad he was there to take on that role as it got me off the hook. One can see how this might prove a bit problematic given my field of choice, which relies heavily on attracting clients so that I can help others do the same.

If you’re looking to grow you can’t do it all on your own. You just can’t. Your foundation must be laid so that you can be freed up to do your thing. You know, your thing? The thing that makes you money.

Every entrepreneur, aspiring or established, has questions that are unique to his or her business. How should I price my seasonal blueberry muffins? How can I incentivize my seasonal blueberry muffin customers to tell their friends about my muffin shop?

There are some things in life that the more you have the better it is for you. When it comes to a startup business, growth is such a factor. However, it is not that growth in a startup business is all good and no bad. There are some pains that come with growth and you can find out and employ strategies and tactics in order to manage growth for maximum amount of success. The main motive of a startup business is capitalizing on a given opportunity. When your business is growing, you will get plenty of opportunities. Your challenge will be to find the right one and focus on it and not be distracted by the others. This challenge of focus is omnipresent in all aspects of a startup business starting from strategic choices regarding product development to everyday decision making and increasing productivity. Also you have to combine flexibility along with focus as major goals since startup businesses usually compete in markets that are rapidly evolving. Here are some tips that can help you stay on the path of focus and follow the path of success.
Don’t select too many things to do – The main idea behind focus is that you have to try and be good at a few things than being mediocre in a number of things. This principle can effectively be applied to your core competitive advantage, the high level strategic goals you have come up with, the tactical plans you are going to use and your everyday priorities along with your enduring cultural values. You should avoid complexity at all costs.
