The Single Most Important Ingredient for Business Success
The first and most important thing you need to acquire in order to succeed in a small business is... knowledge.
Sounds exaggerated? Listen to this...
According to research conducted by Dun & Bradstreet, 90% of all small business failures can be traced to poor management resulting from lack of knowledge.
This is backed up by my own personal observations. In my 31 years as a business coach and consultant to small businesses, I've seen practically dozens of small business owners go under and lose their businesses -- not because they weren't talented or smart enough -- but because they were trying to re-invent the wheel rather than rely on proven, tested methods that work.
Conclusion: if you are really serious about succeeding in a business... If you want to avoid the common traps and mistakes... it is absolutely imperative that you acquire the right knowledge.
"Why Invent Mediocrity, When You Can Copy Genius?"
That's an excellent quote I picked up from a fellow business owner a few years back. What this means is that you should see what is working and try to duplicate Printing Business. Why go through all the trouble of inventing something new, that you don't even know will ever work, when you can easily learn from and duplicate something that has been a proven success?
[ Note: One of the BIGGEST mistakes almost all new businesses make is that they WASTE tons of valuable time, energy and money on trying to create something "new", that has never been tested or proven... only to find out later that it was a total loss. Don't make the same mistake! ]

Success Tip: Setting Goals
Good management is the key to success and good management starts with setting goals. Set goals for yourself for the accomplishment of the many tasks necessary in starting and managing your business successfully. Be specific. Write down the goals in measurable terms of performance. Break major goals down into sub-goals, showing what you expect to achieve in the next two to three months, the next six months, the next year, and the next five years. Beside each goal and sub-goal place a specific date showing when it is to be achieved.
Plan the action you must take to attain the goals. While the effort required to reach each sub-goal should be great enough to challenge you, it should not be so great or unreasonable as to discourage you. Do not plan to reach too many goals all at one time.
Establish priorities. Plan in advance how to measure results so you can know exactly how well you are doing. This is what is meant by "measurable" goals. If you can’t keep score as you go along you are likely to lose motivation. Re-work your plan of action to allow for obstacles which may stand in your way. Try to foresee obstacles and plan ways to avert or minimize them.

Introduction: If you are a baby boomer and want to come along for the booming party, join me here and we will have a blast. COMPANY NAME supplies their followers with real life information for those that are approaching or are older than fifty years old.

Our Services: Services for COMPANY NAME is simple; they post web content for their viewers and sell advertisement space to those companies looking to reach a niche audience of individuals approaching or have past the age of fifty.
The Market: Social media gets a lot of discussion and even a lot of participation from marketers, but in most cases budgets remains low. One reason for the reluctance to invest more is the old problem of ROI, Return on Investment. While some marketers have created successful social media campaigns that they feel they can measure and determine a benefit from, many have still not solved the social success equation. Fame, as well as more monetization options/potential for your blogs, goes alongside personal satisfaction. Another advantage is that big blogs usually market or promote themselves automatically once a certain level of fame has been achieved.
Financial Considerations: The current financial plan for COMPANY NAME is to obtain grant funding in the amount of $300,000. The grant will be used to expand their market share, purchase equipment, and hire an employee. COMPANY NAME will also use the grant funds to begin an intense marketing and advertising campaign starting in 2011. A portion of the grant funds will be used to hire 1 new employee. This increase in employees will allow COMPANY NAME to give more personal attention to current clients as well as have the capacity to add new clients over the next 3 years. Without the grant funding it will make it almost impossible to add the additional employees that are needed to increase market share for COMPANY NAME.
The major focus for grant funding is as follows:
The objectives for COMPANY NAME over the next three years are to:

Looking To Become A Business Leader? Read This
Leadership is a
word that anyone in the business world is familiar with, but few
understand what it really takes to become a great leader. It takes time,
effort and a lot of education. Here we have compiled information from
some of the greatest leaders of all time in order to guide you on your
path to becoming one of them. Continue reading and learn all you can
about leadership.
Be strong and decisive as a leader. When you
are a leader, you will have to make decisions. Showing you're a good
leader means making decisions that will benefit a group as a whole.
Making decisions that bring advantages to only a few will be noticed
quickly and even resented.
Focus on the people you are trying to
lead, not yourself. It can be difficult to do that, but when you are a
leader, you think of everyone. You must forget about yourself and focus
on what you can offer to those who would follow you. That is the right
thing to do, and you will find that most people appreciate that
behevior.
Express a vision for the company. Great leaders
differentiate themselves from great managers because of vision. They see
where the company needs to be 5 years, 10 years and 20 years down the
road. If you've got the vision, share it with your employees. Make them
part of the team that'll help get you there.
In order to be an
effective leader, you need to stay in touch with your emotions. Do not
allow yourself to make any of your positive traits turn negative. For
example, if you are normally a very confident leader, do not allow added
pressure to turn you into someone that is overly arrogant.
As an
effective leader, it is necessary to be aware of your strengths and
weaknesses. Being too confident in your lesser abilities sets you up for
failure. If you know that you have a weakness, try to turn it into a
strength.
Be a passionate leader. It is easier for other to
follow a leader that truly cares about the group's goals. Great leaders
should have a genuine passion and enthusiasm for the projects in
progress instead of just making sure everyone is finishing their work.
Express your passion and let everyone know that you care about their
progress. When someone shares with the group, let them know that their
contribution is appreciated.
If you are the leader of a business,
you should never let your personal opinions get in the way of how you do
business. For example, never pass somebody up for a promotion simply
because you do not like them. If they deserve to advance, you should set
your feelings aside and make it happen.
Listen to people.
Listening is a quality that a lot of people no longer value, but
remember that there are people in your company or organization who have
good ideas. Show that you are willing to hear from others, and they will
feel appreciated. That is something a good leader can do.
Don't
take exceptional employees for granted. Reward your best workers. Give
them more varied responsibilities and better opportunities. Match their
pay to their performance. Don't let hard work go unnoticed. Make sure
that you are reviewing the performance of your workers on a regular
basis. If someone is truly going above and beyond, reward them for it.
Encourage your employees to express their concerns and offer
suggestions without fear of embarrassment or retribution. An atmosphere
that allows for open communication ensures that employees can do their
best work, develop innovative ideas and express their thoughts. On the
other side of the coin, open communication allows you to avoid conflict
while offering feedback and handling problems.
As a leader, you
must set clear, uncomplicated goals. Be sure that your team can attain
them, even if they are a challenge. Give a reward for each goal met, and
when it is met, hand out the reward immediately. From the time we are
children, this example of goals and rewards motivates us to strive to
meet new challenges. It's how people work, and it will work in your
workplace.
As a leader, your words are the tools you use to
motivate people, whether in good ways, or bad. Words are a powerful
asset. To motivate your team, or workforce, use the most powerful
motivating words you can. These include: thank you, please, great job,
glad to see you, or any uplifting words that will boost the confidence
of your team.
The most effective leaders are ones who are not
afraid to be themselves and to be vocal about their values. This does
not mean spouting off religious or personal beliefs, but instead
imparting wisdom and knowledge in related business matters using an
authentic personal style. Be real and have a personality, as this
creates a congenial atmosphere where creative ideas thrive.
If
you must give criticism, do so constructively and in private. Every
member of the staff doesn't need to know about every mistake that is
made. Being singled out in a crowd in this way is embarrassing. On the
other hand, give compliments publicly. This not only build individual
confidence, it lets others see that hard work is appreciated and
rewarded.
If you want to become a great leader, be prepared to
set a good example. If you want your team to be positive and upbeat,
walk around with a smile on your face. If you value error-free work, be
sure you check yours twice! The bottom line is to demand as much from
yourself as you want from your team.
If you are in the business
world, you most certainly know what a great leader is. If you are trying
to become a great leader, the tips in this article will most certainly
help guide you on your path. Refer to them anytime you are struggling
with a leadership challenge, and use them to enhance your ability to
achieve greatness.
