start a business in tough times

Are you planning to Start or Run A Business In Tough Times?  

The opportunities for starting a new business in North Texas are tremendous. But it’s not so easy to just start a business and run it successfully given the current economic decline, recession, inflation, startup costs, pandemics, and more.  

  • Are you experiencing overwhelm from having so much to do? 
  • Are you trying to figure out how to raise the money you’ll need? 
  • Are you struggling to generate enough customers and cash flow? 

 

Start Or Run A Business In Tough Times

If you have a new business, you face a serious challenge. More than you know. You need to start and run a successful business. This is no small task. To start a business in tough times, you need money, good marketing research, lead generation, sales, management, recordkeeping, a good location, people, and the list goes on and on  . . . AND ON!

You have a LOT of problems to solve, and you’ve likely never solved these kinds of problems before. And if you don’t get it right, you’ll pay a high price: failure, loss of money, loss of self-esteem, wasted time, and worst of all – major embarrassment and humiliation in front of your family and friends.

 

Why MOST New Businesses Fail

start a business in tough times

Most new businesses fail. It’s a fact. 

Do you know WHY so many new businesses fail?

If you don’t, it’s not your fault. Because there is a lot of misinformation out there about why the majority of new businesses don’t make it.  In fact, I have some ‘shocking’ news for you. New businesses don’t fail because of a lack of cash flow, inadequate financing, poor choice of location, or a lack of management skills.

Nope. It’s none of those things. New businesses fail for one and only one reason: They fail because of a lack of knowledge and skill on the part of the business owner(s). That’s it. It’s the owner. Nothing else. Always.

All of those other things are EFFECTS from this singular CAUSE: The lack of knowledge and skill of how to start and run a business profitably and successfully. 

There’s a gap in the owner’s knowledge, experience, and know-how. 

This coaching program and mastermind group FILLS THAT GAP and so puts the odds of success in your favor.

“Not only did Alexander do a phenomenal job in teaching me many concepts that will greatly improve my business, but he went beyond helping me with my business into teaching me how to thrive in my life balance as well. He made sure I understood to balance everything important to me, such as making time for my health, family, and leisure time, so that I could be more balanced in my life and not stressed out with overworking myself with my business. He inspired me to take many actions to improve both my business and the quality of my life that I would have been ignorant or hesitant to take otherwise. His program was a real life-changer for me. I wholeheartedly recommend him.”
