I’ve never owned a business, that made even triple digits. But I guess not just any bloke has the intelligence to figure out the obvious. There is no business plan that will always work. The idea that a great business can be built on good small business rules is ridicules. Owning is a “small business” is a near guarantee to be a small business. It makes sense for restraints, but really who are these small businesses? These companies you only heard of over the internet and in the end decide not to go with anyway. I’ve never herd of them, I don’t care about them. A good business shouldn’t need an expert to have herd of them. People just have this idea that they own something and are free of something like that. But doing what other people tell you, and what other people have already done doesn’t get you any wear. Of cores many people don’t have the nerve to do what has to be done, or the intelligence to think for themselves, the cookie cutter small businesses.
