People think owning their own business will make them rich and in control. On the contrary, owning your own business will be the hardest thing you've ever done. A business owner must be able to wear all the hats of the business, including taking out the trash and answering the phone. Being self-employed takes dedication and the desire to succeed. If you think you can get investors to give you tons of money and think you'll just hire people to run your business for you, you're sadly mistaken.The question about how much blame is not about determining any verdict of guilty or not guilty as the courts will do this. It really relates to shareholders, employees, community and country losses suffered as a result of the collapse.In the end various parties have and may still be found to have a portion of the blame and shareholders and employees who have suffered most are certainly keen to see final outcomes to this situation. However one of the major contributors may never be accounted for; this being the market itself. The market (stock market) is made up of many components and this certainly includes investors.When we ask how much blame we are really looking at dollars lost. During the 2000 year the share price reached $US90 plus, in March/April 2001 period it was around $US55 to $US60. On 19th December 2001 the price was $US 0.19 Money Most business owners start off with little or no money.

Now let's talk about investors.An article in the Atlanta Journal & Constitution on July 19th featured Eddie Turner, owner of the small business, Footwhere, which sells dirt from various locations in the form of keychains. Turner discusses how the 1996 Olympic Games provided a boost to his business, but noted that “the devotion of so much time to those projects sometimes alienated longtime customers,” according to the AJC.Sometimes in small business, we can throw ourselves into a new project or market, a method of attracting new clients. Enthusiasm is good, and customers are necessary to growth and profits, but we don’t want to run the risk of losing established customers in the process.When you embark on some type of project or marketing scheme, whether it involves preparing for a trade show or for the Olympics, make sure you compensate by continuing to maintain conta Anytime you bring in outside money, be prepared for someone else to want to be in charge.

Never start a partnership, especially when there is an outside investor involved. Keep in mind that its a good idea to have a business plan before looking to get money from investors or the bank. Let's say that you have all the money you need and you're ready to begin. You should first start a business plan and determine your goals over the next 3 to 5 years. Include how much money it will cost you, including employees, insurance, rent, etc... Make sure you include all of the goals of your company and how much money you expect to make and how you plan to make it. A business plan is a good way to have your goals laid out in front of you and help make your business more successful.I read somewhere once that it can take on average about 500 hours to find a new job – the ‘right’ job, but that most people give up at 40-50 hours. What make these latter people lose sight of what they were after? I personally think a big reason is not having a good plan to help them keep focused and motivated. So here are a few tips I have gathered from how some of my clients have successfully executed their job searches.1) Be clear about why you are searching for a new job Do you need to get out of the job you are in right now sooner rather than later? Or is it time to go for the next logical step on your career path – and only the ‘right job’ wil do? If you know what’s driving your job search, it’s easier to keep focused and remember for the sake of what you are choosing to spend some of your freetime on the job search proce Corporation or Sole Proprietorship After you've determined what you plan to do, you should decide if you plan to make your company into a corporation or a sole proprietorship. If your business consists of more than you as the owner, my suggestion is to get incorporated. If you're incorporated - you can better protect yourself from the other partners, taxes and lawsuits. Consult with your CPA and corporate attorney to determine the best type of corporation for you and your partners. A sole proprietorship is the simplest way to operate a business. You pay fewer taxes and don't have the corporate hassles. It's also the least regulated business, but you're at greater risk. For example, when you're a sole proprietor, you're personally responsible for all business debt and damages from lawsuits. If someone sues you and they win, they cou
