Why Do Businesses Fail?

THINK ABOUT THIS: 90% of businesses fail. The entrepreneurs behind these ventures arent idiots. Many were dedicated, experienced & connected in their industries. Some had brilliant GROUND BREAKING IDEAS, MORAL SUPPORT from family and friends, GOOD LOOKS, born to do it TALENT, WINNING ATTITUDES blah, blah, blah- Yet STILL, they failed. Oh and before you say it - Yes some even had FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
Admit it, some of those failed entrepreneurs had a lot more going for them than you do. So how can you avoid the same mistakes they made and get your self into the 10% of successful businesses? Theres an abundance of expert business advice - bookshelves, internet, libraries etc. Yet virtually all of them leave out three critical & fundamental truths. Truths so incredibly powerful, but so simple & obvious that almost everyone misses them.

TRUTH #1: To Own A Business That Operates Successfully, FIRST You Must Successfully SETUP That Business.
Systems, polices and procedures don't just happen. Employees don't magically appear from nowhere at the time of your need. Marketing research, strategy and material need to be conceptualized, created and then initiated. Same goes for financial management. If you implement accordingly from the start youll gain tremendous growth & profit advantage over others. Yet few do. Why? 3 main reasons. A) Theyve never been taught what takes to setup a fully functional and operationally sound business. B) Can be extremely boring to think systems and all that stuff. C)Its often a lot of work. (Another reason it barely finds its way into the Best Sellers) The Importance of the setup process comes down to one big realization. It separates businesses destined for greatness from those thatll always be small and barely profitable; It is this...

No proper setup = Fluctuating & unreliable cash-flow, inconsistent service, unsustainable business strategy, low growth capacity = Unattractive for investors, partners, employees and very unattractive to CUSTOMERS. Are you one of those who prefers to put off all these considerations until after the big money comes in? Problem with that is youre making all your first impressions with customers, employees, potential partners, suppliers without them. Guess how much that slows down your business?

TRUTH #2: It Takes A Different Skill Set To Setup A Business Than To Operate A Business.
Successfully OPERATING a business and successfully SETTING UP a business are two different things. Setting up is what you do to get to the place where you can operate it. Think about it in any area of achievement. Operating a computer is very different from creating/designing or setting up a computer. Operating an already existing business system is very different from knowing what systems your business needs and how to put them together. Having management/ executive or technical experience doesnt mean you can setup a business. Most likely you were operating within and around systems that were already created for you. Its also unlikely that you have experience in all the major areas of setup.

TRUTH #3: You Don't Need To Be A Computer Engineer To Get A Computer For Your Business.
It seems obvious doesnt it? It takes years of study and experience to be an expert engineer. You wouldnt waste all that time and money just to get an office computer. for your secretary? Most likely, youll just trust the experts. Buy a computer from them. Keyboard, mouse, monitor, CPU with Mother board, microchips, hard drives - the whole package created for you. You can have the same for your business...

Time, Money, Risk & Hard Work.

Don't go it alone, heres why...

Time: You re limited by your two hands and two feet. Youre also limited by your lack of experience, talent, knowledge, connections and ideas. Money: Youll spend money to learn things you didnt have to, to redo mistakes you shouldnt have made, hiring people the wrong services and service providers and missing out on customers that could have been yours. Hard Work: Long, difficult & sometimes wasteful hours Risk: Having to rely on yourself instead of expert increases risk of mistakes and wasted resources

Heres why time is so critical in Zimbabwean Business

Why is time so important?

Why not take your time? Does it really matter that much how long it takes to setup your business? There are a thousand answers to this question, but here are a few of the main ones for your to consider.

The longer it takes to setup...

A) The longer it takes to reach profitability. It takes time to establish yourself as a trusted supply of goods. Word of mouth takes time to gain momentum. Big orders don't usually come to brand new businesses, especially those that look like theyre still setting up. In any start up, your first sale is your most important sale. But the dangers of a slow setup go far beyond that... B) Momentum is fading... You started off on fire. Vowed youd see it through to the end. It all looks so right, so doable in the beginning. Now just 6 months later, everything has changed. Things don't look so good anymore. Your employees are looking for other jobs or spend the whole week at the bank. your partners want out and you are starting another side business to supplement your earnings. C) Costs are growing daily... When you begun, inflation was at a mere 10 million percent, now its at 200 BILLION. And counting. Not only that, but cash is no longer available. You cant even do your shopping in local currency anymore... But government wont let you charge in FOREX. Even in FOREX, costs are going up. No one wants or can afford your products anymore...and youre still setting up. D) Competition growing. More competitors for a shrinking market. You were one of a few to spot an opportunity, now 1000 others have seen it too. Some them are fully setup and have a lot more credibility, word of mouth and cash flow than you. E) ETC

The following diagram shows the difference between a fast setup and a slow one...

Actually, the graph youve just seen isnt very accurate in its comparison. In reality, the difference between the two is A LOT more drastic. The first diagram shows a Typical Setup Schedule vs a Pre Setup Schedule. Comparing these two pics will give you an ideas of how much time is lost or saved depending on your approach.

Whats happening throughout the setups? Company registration, logo and stationery design, stationery printing, design and publishing of marketing material (website, newspaper advert), creating tools and systems for the management, measurement and implementation of finance, marketing, human resources, hiring employees, designing and signing of contracts and partnerships, looking for offices AND MORE. But thats not all... Why is it taking so long? Well in addition to the time it takes to get each task done properly, there are the natural in-between lag times. These are times when you don't or cant implement the next step of setup. Youre too busy, too lazy, no money, don't know what to do next, don't know where to get a service done, procrastination, mistakes that need correcting, unforeseen delays, personal issues to take care of or just waiting for someone else to complete a task. It all adds up very fast. But thats still not all... Trying to setup and operate at the same time. Since setup is going so slow, itll be a while before your new business is generating results for you. In the meantime, you still

need to eat. That means youll end up doing other stuff to supplement your income as well. Maybe youre still in your old job or youve got another project running or both! Whatever it is - add up all the factors I've just mentioned, PLUS having to do this other work and you can see why it takes so long to setup the new business.

Now compare that with the Business Setup Kit

3 weeks, thats it! Thats 3 weeks OR LESS vs average of 36 - 42 weeks to setup. How much is 33 WEEKS/9 MONTHS of your life worth to you? How much is it worth to you to spend that time doing things youre good at? Things that make you money? Things that support your values. Doing the things you actually went into business to create and enjoy. And whats happening during those 3 weeks of setup? Your company is fully registered, your brand and stationery designed, even printed, website designed, tested & setup. Literally hundreds of tools, templates, guides and checklist are put together for you. Youve got a major head start on your financial, marketing, Human Resource systems, structures, processors, policies. All this is being done FOR YOU...with very, very little work on your part.
