In the world of business, there is no room for small fish, even if you're running a local small business.

According to the U.S. Bureau of labor statistics, roughly 20% of small businesses fail within the first 12 months. As time goes on more businesses fail and after a long decade only 1/3 of new businesses remain.

Now here arises a question...

Why does that really happen, why do most businesses fail?

Well the truth is that business failure (and success) is a complex thing that is dependent on a variety of factors.

But ultimately it come down to just three factors that have been faulted or ignored all together

Let's have a look!

Here are the three most important topics to focus on when running a business.

Planning

Poor planning is without a doubt the most common reason why beginner entrepreneurs FAIL in the early stages of their business.

Many people simply have a good idea that gives them a strong emotional response that makes them truly believe in that idea. This often leads to someone starting a business before creating a plan.

Running a business on the move is NOT how you should approach this as a beginner. Instead, make a concrete plan that has everything down, pen on paper!

Financing

Often times, businesses fail due to lack of funding or income, as well as poor overall financial management.

As a business owner, you must ensure that you know exactly how much money you need to keep all internal operations on a day to day basis.

You need to know the total amount of money needed across all operations and then divide them into sub statistics such as payroll, rent, utilities, etc.

When running any type of business, financial management is key, and in the beginning of a business, that must be even more clear.

Management

In the early stages of your business journey, you will likely have to take on many roles, including the role of a manager.

However, as your company grows, management may be delegated and your sharpest set of skills can shine in the process of a growing company.

Nevertheless, though that happens naturally, you must aim to choose the right managers, as inadequate management can RUIN your business.

Final Thoughts

Most businesses fail because of poor planning but you can avoid all the potential pitfalls of being a new business owner by focusing on just three things... planning, financing and management.
