Press Release Body: Business if tough in today's world! Most small businesses go
bankrupt or are closed abruptly in the first five years. Over the course of the next
five years many of the remainders also "pack up" shop and lock their doors. Why do
so many businesses fail?

The reasons lie in three main spheres. Those spheres of influence can be labeled
personal, customer, and operations.

The Personal Sphere deals with the owner's personal motivation to start a business.
For example, if an owner wants to start their own business, but isn't willing to
make the sacrifices necessary to make it thrive, then they are at a disadvantage
when compared to other motivated businesspeople. When a business starts for the
first time often it doesn't have a lot of money. Owners are required to sacrifice
time, money, and happiness to succeed. If you can't do that, it is unlikely that
such a business will flourish. Many times owners thought they could handle the
hardship but once the novelty of "being your own boss" wears off they close the
door.

The Customer Sphere is one of the most important components of your business.
Without customers you do not have sales, without sales you do not have money and
without money you do not have a business. Many factors go into generating a good
customer base. In the beginning you must have a cost effective marketing strategy
that targets your intended buyers. This can be done by developing a psychological
profile of your customer and then advertising in those places that they frequent.
Because it is more expensive to get a new customer than it is to keep one you must
make sure they are satisfied with your business and product. Keep in touch with them
by sending them a follow-up letter with a survey.

The Operations Sphere is only second to the Customer Sphere. In operations you must
have an appropriate method of reducing costs, keeping track of paperwork, and
maintaining improvement. Operations can also take into effect the tax paperwork,
accounting, scheduling of workers, benefits or any non-producing functions.

If all of these three components are well thought out and are appropriately designed
you will increases your chances of survival. Failure to understand the integral
details of your business and what it takes to succeed may mean failure in the long
run. If you are having difficulty putting all the pieces together then considers a
small business consultant.
