Most successful new businesses ? about 90 per cent of them ? end up following practices that are different than anticipate. That's why it doesn't pay to spend too much time and money on planning. Do some research. Figure out the big action plans and give yourself a bail-out option. Then go for it. He who can adapt, wins.

2. Don't spend too much money

The vast majority of business start-ups that succeed do so on a limited budget, and without the benefit of venture capital funding.

People involved in businesses that have limited funds must think harder, work harder and, most importantly, sell harder. Their primary initial effort is to bring in the cash. And that's how it should be.

There is only one thing that will surely stop any business in its tracks ? and that's the lack of money.

Ironically, limited capital usually means a quicker and stronger cash flow. You are forced to be disciplined from the start, your workers make do with less, and will have a better focus on bringing in much needed revenue.

Keep in mind that the best laid plans are often the most arrogant. You don't know for sure how to best serve the market until you are actually to the field-serving customers:

When launching a new business or product, figure out how you can get to the breakeven, point fastest. This kind of revenue planning will force you to pay closer attention to the market.

5. Forget about Hiring An Expert, you are it

Successful entrepreneurs don't have experts to run their businesses. They figure it out for themselves. When t comes to making your new product or project work, reply on nobody that yourself to make sure it gets done right.

Yes, it may be stressful and time-consuming to do a lot of extra work yourself, but it will pay in the long run. You will understand the project in an way.
