Great quote I picked up:

"There is never a lack of Resources, only a lack of Resourcefulness" - Unknown

Reason for Business Failures:

1. The Owner didn't do, learn, try, or attempt everything they could to succeed.

Everything else is an after the fact Reason/Scape Goat.

In business there are no Reasons, Only Results.

Just my Two cents.

Question. If an Entrepreneur fails at a business, then fails at another, then on the third wins. Where the first two really failures, or "unpaid" training LOL?

My Mistake

My biggest startup mistake was losing focus on our core business. Like many startups we were cash-strapped and not wanting to slice up large portions of equity for investment caital so we pooled our talents and did odd jobs in order to pay for our core business development. We took on small marketing projects, did some design work, and even got involved in some video production work. In the end we ran in to a number of problems including not spending enough time on what it was that we really were there to do (our core business), and spreading ourselves too thin. This was a huge learning point, but it definitely set us back a lot.

Every dark night is followed by a bright sunny day. So, patience and attention is required and things will be fruitful in near future.

Am I the only one here who enjoys a little bit of poker? Although I wonder if I'll become addicted and lose my shirt. Well probably not it isn't strip poker after all.

There is nothing called a free lunch is this world. If things needed to be resolved then initiative needs a support to be sorted out.

Hat’s off. Well done, as we know that “Hard work always pays off”, after a long struggle with sincere efforts it’s done.

This conversation is going no where. It’s lacking the place of a good leader to head the things to come out on conclusion.

The above statement seems to be contradictory. The situation is very critical and need an experienced campaigner to resolve it.

I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted out because it’s not about the individual but it can be with everyone.

The above thought is smart and doesn’t require any further addition. It’s perfect thought from my side.

The society is facing problems with such laws. This has to go legal and it’s needed to be sorted at the earliest.

Who is your niche?

Who should your target audience be when you market your business online.
IE Email marketing shouldn't be sent to all bizs. Another words establish your niche.

[color="DarkOrange"]Would you like more clients ? I would like to help you achieve this goal for you by creating eye catching printed material to represent your business such as business cards, logos and brochures so you can stand out from other businesses. I charge less than half of what a design agency charges and I also will provide quick turnaround for you. Some of the printed material I can create for you include brochures, business cards, logos, flyers, posters newsletters, menus, cds etc. I have seven plus years in the desktop publishing field as well as the graphic design field. Feel free to view some of my graphic design work at my website Creativeshake.com - Select Pieces From My Portfolio profile

I have completed many projects for numerous companies while simultaneously staying within their budgets and time constraints. I' ve also offered my services for free completing a Pro Bonu poster for famous pop singer Gavin DeGraw and created a promotional letter for the Pan Mass Challenge. In summary, I maintain not only a strong educational background, but a professional one as well. I am organized, efficient and detail oriented. Feel free to contact me to discuss your next graphic design project.

Thank you,
