The Top Ten Reasons Businesses Fail

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your interest in my business coaching, training, and consulting services. I hope you will follow through on your interest in what you're finding here so that you and I can work to gether on at least one idea for making more money.

In addition to receiving a solid business education I transformed into a successful entrepreneur (I can prove it!) over a decade ago. I have received business coaching and training from the World's leading business coaching firm, which has been recognized in Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the top 50 Businesses in North America. I also received intensive business training in the major areas of business at one of the most respected corporations in the world. My ongoing education includes hands on experience gained with each new client, just like you, as well as constant improvement through dedicated time in my schedule for study.

Through providing the information below I wanted to share with you some some of the major mistakes and pitfalls faced by business owners and managers so that you may identify these signs of trouble in your own business.

1. Sticking With What You Know - How amazing would it be to live in a world filled with all the amazing ideas that people never took action on? All too often, entrepreneurs just stick with what they have already been doing, even if it isn’t working, just because it’s what they know. (See below to find out how to request a call with a an actual business coach to discuss a proven way to test new ideas and measure the results)!

2. Failing to Plan (this counts for procrastinators, too!) - Failing to plan is planning to fail. The planning process creates focus. It helps you and your team hit the "reset" button, cut what’s not working and create a new vision of what the future holds. It becomes your blueprint for success. A good marketing plan filled with strategies for increasing your sales and profits can often save you money AND increase the results you’re getting. (When you request your consultation, ask about how our team of business advisors can help you develop winning strategies and a marketing plan that’s guaranteed to get you results)!

3. Failing to Create a TEAM Environment - TEAM = Together Everyone Achieves More. Being the boss, the entrepreneur, the manager and the technical expert can be a difficult juggling act. Learning how to delegate, motivate, inspire and reward your staff can be one of the toughest personal challenges that you overcome as a business owner. But with your commitment to your employees, productivity, efficiency and profits can shoot through the roof! (You become the quarterback when your coach guides you through team building strategies and gives you exercises to get everyone’s heart in the game)!

4. Having a "Just Around the Corner" Mentality - Successful salespeople and business owners know that they must charge ahead no matter how good things are going to be "just as soon as…" They know that the time is now and the bounty that lies ahead could get up and walk away before you get there. (Your business coach is there to keep you grounded in what needs to be done today and helps you stay focused on playing the game, and not constantly worrying about the score).

5. Not Having the Proper Advisors - Every great sports personality, business person and superstar is surrounded by coaches and advisors. A coach can see the forest through the trees and help you focus on the game. A coach is committed to making you successful. Whether you recruit family members or an outside professional for objective advice, get help somewhere!

6. Not Keeping up with the Times - Your customers are changing whether they call to tell you or not. Customers will buy from whomever has what they want when they want it. It’s up to you to make sure you’re on top of what they’re buying now AND what they’re likely to buy tomorrow. (Your business advisor will show you simple, proven techniques for finding out what your customers want).

7. Not Knowing Your Numbers - How much cash should you have on hand in order to make it through a slow cycle or an emergency? How many leads are you generating monthly? Exactly what percentage of those leads become customers? How often does each customer buy from you? How much do they spend with each purchase? What is your actual profit margin? (Not only will your business advisor teach you how to test and measure the results you’re getting in each of these areas, he will also work with you to learn from over 387 strategies to increase the results you’re getting in these critical areas of business).

8. Doing it all Yourself - The key to long-term business success is leverage. You MUST learn to systematize the routine, hire people to do the job with passion and fervor, set up distribution systems to deliver your products and services efficiently, and create a marketing machine that keeps customers coming through your doors to buy from you again and again. A true business is a commercial, profitable enterprise that works WITHOUT you! (Through working with your business advisor in a mentorship program, you will learn systems and strategies for creating a leveraged business that works hard while you play)!

9. Quitting - THOU SHALT NOT QUIT! (Enough said).

I hope that you take note of those pitfalls that you may be experiencing or those that you may foresee and write down the steps that you will take in order to avoid them.
