40% of Business Start-Ups Fail in the First Year – Avoiding the Biggest Pitfalls
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 22, 2006 -– Harry Rodenhi, Certified Business Coach and Founder of All About Enterprises, Inc. http://www.allaboutenterprises.com is disturbed by the fact that 40% of those who want to start their own business fall short of their dream in just the first year. Having partnered with many in beating these odds, Harry is passionate about sharing what he has learned to be the keys to success in starting up a small business in today’s highly competitive marketplace.
As big corporations become less attractive to so many in the workplace, more and more individuals are beginning to consider going into business for themselves. “With so many widely publicized financial scandals and pension fund failures in the news of late, big companies are losing a lot of their appeal as long-term options for many US workers,” says Harry Rodenhi, a Certified Business Coach from Atlanta. “This means that more individuals are seriously looking at starting their own businesses. For many the problem comes when they move too quickly, and don’t really take the time to think through what they really want to accomplish and how best to achieve that vision of success.”
