It’s always seemed strange to me.
Businesses form the core of our economic system, and they have for thousands of years. Millions of businesses currently operate, and millions more are started every year. Businesses affect the lives of everyone in our society.
But as important as business enterprises are to our economy and society, the success or failure of any business is little more than a roll of the dice. Businesses, particularly new ones, fail at an astounding rate. And many of the business that survive do so only barely.
Despite all of our experience with business enterprises over thousands of years (which experience has accelerated over the most recent few hundreds of years), we have no good guide for an entrepreneur to follow when operating a business.
It’s not for lack of information about business — the bookshelves are are full. But for the smallish business owner there’s a lack of the right information.
What business owners need is a simple, easy-to-use guide that explains what business owners need to do to create a successfully operating business. These instructions need to allow for an easy read, quick implementation, and rapid results.
The need for this kind of guide is nearly universal. Very few entrepreneurs have the business management skills they need to exploit their ideas. And many “experienced” business owners are falling far short of what they could achieve if they could only direct their enterprises more effectively.
This website is intended to fill this need for an effective business “to-do” guide.
