Define Small Business – any business that is operated by one or a few individuals. Employs <100 people. Represent 99.7% of all employers. Entrepreneurship – the process of recognizing an opportunity, testing it in the market, and gathering resources necessary to go into business

Barriers to Small Business/Entrepreneurial success Owner – time is needed to plan and manage growth, you’re busy running the business. Delegate responsibility! People – you can’t grow without people helping, problem is finding the RIGHT people. Define the job you want done! Money – growth needs money, determine how much you need. Growth expenses will climb before revenue does! Customers – if you don’t sell, you won’t grow. Acquire new, SPOIL existing. Superior Customer Service should be priority!

Barrier continued Information Chaos – is confusing and halts growth. Good information should be CORRECT, CURRENT, and CONSISTENT! Processes – are the wheel of the company. If not documented you will constantly be reinventing. Document & K.I.S.S.! Planning – Phil Orsini, entrepreneur & author says “Companies don’t fail because they grow. They fail because they don’t plan their growth.” Strategic plans are you roadmap to growth! http://www.evancarmichael.com/Business-Coach/740/Seven-Barriers-to-Business-Growth.html
