8. Foresight
Are you not a psychic? Sorry. Well, let’s do it, then somehow differently. OK stop, seriously. No superfluous feelings are meant. Remember, we have already called control one of the main tasks of an entrepreneur. I said there that everything needs to be measured and controlled. So, from these your measurements you must draw some conclusions. To analyze and draw real, practical conclusions. And on this basis, try to give some kind of forecast. What can change, which way, when, etc., in your business, of course, you understand. The task is not easy, but nonetheless.
In general, taking this opportunity, I’ll say that, of course, you can not perform all the main tasks of an entrepreneur that are listed here. Just like at school, you know, they made 7 out of 10, you get a solid three. Continue reading
The main tasks of an entrepreneur, or what and how to do if you are an entrepreneur (part 1)
I will say right away: this topic should be considered, as it were, in a special plane, or something … What do I mean? I explain. I am a supporter of the opinion that marketing in business is everything. And I once wrote that 90% of your time, efforts, thoughts should be directed to marketing, to search and retain customers. And marketing, as a specific task, is not in the list of 10 main tasks of the entrepreneur. In order not to allow misunderstandings, I decrypt.

So, I present: Continue reading

How to recover lost customers or 6 errors that make customers forget about you
One of the most important aspects of doing business is retaining your customers and working with them. Attracting new customers is always more expensive for small businesses than working with existing ones. At the same time, the average check of regular customers according to statistics, if it changes, is for the better for business.

Therefore, the question of “how to return lost customers” is worth a separate consideration, at least.
In this article we will talk about how to return lost customers in a slightly unusual manner. I will list 10 main mistakes due to which, according to my observations, a small business most often loses customers, and you, correcting them (or not allowing them), will understand how to return lost customers.

Factors Affecting Business Development
What factors influence business development strongly and constantly?
We are talking about three business factors (or elements that are more convenient for anyone) – attention, reputation and trust. They are absolutely interconnected and can hardly exist separately from each other (at least, a single factor will never show such effectiveness as with their synergistic interaction).

And let it seem simple and logical, but I’m sure that many here are often mistaken – they simply do not attract enough attention of potential customers to their business. Continue reading
