Where is the script for your business?
I was speaking to a large gathering of business owners and was asked whether there was an inherent conflict between planning for growth and the more free spirited entrepreneurial-like approach – where you stay agile and react to opportunities as they arise (i.e., operate without a plan). This was a great question as it addresses a big misconception about planning – that it somehow hand-cuffs a business in any way.
Obtaining credit in a down economy
Sure, raising capital to start a small business in this economy is not easy, but that doesn't mean opportunities still don't exist. The key is knowing where to look.
A great place to start is the Small Business Administration (SBA), which is available, among other things, to help entrepreneurs raise money for business projects.
