Episode Description
In todays show we discuss a number of ways that can help start-ups and early-stage businesses stretch their budgets and improve collaboration. We also discuss the fact that most entrepreneurs believe the reason that over 97% of businesses fail is because of the quality of the project or lack of funding when in fact 72% of these companies fail because of a poor business model, business strategy, leadership, management, human resources, marketing, finance, operations and sales. We discussed the need for more training for entrepreneurs in these areas, the need for entrepreneurs to surround themselves with mentors and successful business people in different areas of endeavour and for a private/government partnership to provide training. We also give you the reasons why the first thing you should do each day is to check your competitors websites and how you can get your team to be much more creative and really think outside the box.
