Be prepared to work hard. My husband and I gave up our full time jobs to set up our own business 4yrs ago. We worked on average 60hrs a week each with no wage for 18m. Only in the past year are we seeing the benefits of our hard work, we've had unexpected downfalls but we learn from our mistakes as we've gone along. Don't expect an easy ride no matter how experienced you are and most of all, GOOD LUCK. |

Keep on top of the paperwork - once you get behind you'll never catch up (and put your tax money aside as you go). |

The man that founded Marshall Fields used to say"give the lady what she wants"So I would say service oriented is what brings people back. |

Have a realistic business plan, know your market and competitors, do not award yourself more than the bare neccesities of pay for the first few years - put all profit back into the business, believe in your product/service, network HARD - word of mouth is invaluable. |

1. form good relationships with your clients, employees.
2. never stop looking around for the best deal (office supplies, etc.) this will save you money.
3. have a suggestion box, available to your clients, employees, and keep an open mind.
4. constantly strive to generate new clients, through advertising, specials, discounts, etc...
5. do not make your business environment boring. I personally would rather do business at a place that was uplifting, and friendly rather than a place that had people like the guy from the "Clear Eyes" commercials.
6. keep track of your records. (computer, and backups)
7. keep up to date with your customer needs, change strategies appropriately.
Good luck. |
