Small business profits – threat or opportunity

Turn-on your television or pick up a newspaper and all that is reported right now, apart from the present swine flu problem, is the "credit crunch" - falling house prices, rising unemployment, businesses going bust, repossessions, bankruptcies and more... So what should small businesses do? Well this depends on whether you see this as an opportunity or a threat. There are no doubt certain businesses that will find these times more difficult than others, for example, only today there are reports about how the number of unemployed lorry drivers has gone up almost 5-fold since this time last year. Where businesses are selling less and therefore resulting in a less of a need for transport, then transport companies will see a dip in demand and as a consequence might need to make redundancies.

Lesson #3: Promote the Principle of Professional Discipline

“While you are responsible to your clients for sales results, you are responsible to consumers for the kind of advertising you bring into their homes,” said Ogilvy. “I abhor advertising that is blatant, dull, or dishonest.

He insisted on maintaining the highest of standards in both the ads the company created and the way he treated the people with whom he worked.

Lesson #5: Success Comes Hand in Hand with Sacrifice

Many entrepreneurs are wooed into owning their own business and working for themselves because of the flexibility and freedom they anticipate going along with that.

As Ray has come to learn, being an entrepreneur can still mean long hours at the hands of others. But for her, it is work well worth it.
