Survive Recession
During the recession, it isn't easy to raise your prices or cut essential expenses in order to make up for lost profits or to maximize profit.
Higher prices could put you out of business and you have to make a financial outlay in order to operate, pursue your opportunities, and generate sales.
The only solution left is to reduce your risks/threats/pitfalls, eroding your profits. As a result, you may even be in position to keep prices low - without cutting essential expenses! By doing this, your chances of surviving the recession are far better - IF you had read our Risk Management Guide/Manual.
Yes, you are about to learn how to profit from your PITFALLS too! Does this sound ridiculous? Please read on...
Your Risk of Failure and Chances of Success
As an entrepreneur you face one of two possible scenarios - failure or success!
Unfortunately, every year, thousands of small and medium enterprises (SMEs)/small and medium businesses (SMBs) around the globe simply fail to grow or, even worse, close down!
(Note: The high rate of unsuccessful ventures occurred in "normal times" when credit was freely available. The current financial collapse, caused by the property bubble, and the subsequent deleveraging, may cause even more failures!)
That's why we have decided to set up this web site. To survive and achieve REAL high growth and success, you have to pay more attention to the threat agents in- or outside of your company (i.e. your business pitfalls) which are eating your profits... and which ALSO constitute your risk of failure!
As you know, in difficult economic times, companies, to avoid failure, normally cut expenses (as rumor has it that a cost cutting exercise is the "easiest" part) - and most of the time, unfortunately, essential expenses too (usually considered as a crucial part of a company's financial outlay to operate). Agreed, unnecessary expenses MUST be cut - and NOT only during recession times!
However, we believe that small business companies should NOT cut essential expenses but rather focus on reducing the hidden leakages (causes of profit loss and failure) in their enterprises!
By fixing the profit erosion holes first, and making your small business profitable, you will be able to minimize your risk of failure and, inevitably, be in a better position to GROW your small business and achieve SUCCESS!
So, this web site is for medium and small business companies only. Just for you. Tailor-made to fit YOUR needs as a SME/SMB owner!
Many pitfalls have been recorded as small business failure reasons. HOWEVER, thousands of books and magazines don't mention the most important and overall reason - encompassing ALL the other causes of the SME/SMB failure phenomenon (i.e. the failure-to-grow and failure-to-survive phenomenon)!
An All-Inclusive Reason for the SMB Failure Phenomenon
You see, the number one overall reason why thousands of small and medium enterprises fail to grow or go bankrupt is the...
PASSIVE STANCE of owners towards the pitfalls (risks) -
ALLOWING threat agents to RUN RAMPANT through their enterprises, and to...
EAT AWAY profits and potential profits!
A risk is ANYTHING that has the power to eat your profits, i.e. any event, action, decision, lack of action or decision as well as any circumstance in- or outside of your company that causes or could cause PROFIT EROSION. It is a generic term for the many causes/factors/threats that have been identified thus far as reasons for small biz failures - no matter whether these causes were of strategic, operational, financial or legal nature. |
Small business companies focus, almost entirely, on how to profit from their opportunities... and then get caught by the risks, forcing them to close their doors for ever! Our experience is that a small enterprise profits... ONLY TO LOSE IT AGAIN. This is a heartbreaking but true reality.
Many medium and small owners pay little or no attention to the pitfalls (i.e. they fail to PLAN and ACT against the profit erosion agents in their enterprises). In other words, they do not have adequate profit strategies and controls in place to protect and grow their businesses!
This attitude can be found in many SMBs - no matter whether these enterprises are start-ups or facing enormous problems!
Even SMBs that are APPARENTLY growing and successful (i.e. SMEs achieving success in the short term only) fail... because they ignore the same enemy as their "unsuccessful" counterparts, namely the profit erosion agents in their enterprises! They only have the appearance of growth and success.
One All-Inclusive Small Biz Checklist
We have realized one thing: You need more than just a management book telling you of all the possible causes of failure and the necessary solutions to deal with it! The truth is, there are thousands, perhaps millions, of different types of pitfalls (risks)... far too many to cover in one study, training course, book or article.
As an alternative:
- You first need to know the most important reason why thousands of small and medium enterprises fail to grow or go under.
- By knowing this, you will also know how to survive AND to grow your business by implementing one overall profit strategy (profit protection methodology) in your organization.
- Part of this solution is the use of our risk management kit, containing two survival techniques. You should not only use these techniques to survive and overcome your risks, but also use them to achieve phenomenal GROWTH and SUCCESS in the long run!
However, to use our all-inclusive small business checklist on risk management, you first need to change your patterns of thought. You need to change the way you are thinking about and dealing with your risks, the pitfalls that are threatening your company's existence, future and growth! Furthermore, you also need to learn how to use these techniques.
