”Only
those who will risk going too far
can possibly find out how far one can go. ”
T. S. Eliot
Are you running, or planning to run, a successful business? or Are you just lucky?
|
So, you are starting off a business on your own, perhaps with a small group, or looking to grow your business from where it is today. |
|
|
20% of businesses fail within the first year, and 50% within the first three years of trading. |
|
|
Of those business still trading after more than three years, many find it very difficult to grow, as the original concept was not given the best possible basis for growth. This book provides the framework for not only 'must haves' on day one, but also items that can be considered during expansion. It can also be used as a reference point during development, and provides the basis for examining an organisation that is 'up and running'. |
|
|
Put yourself in the position of giving yourself the best possible start in your endevour, or take this opportunity to ensure that you give yourself the best possible start to growing your business. |
|
|
|
