Rule # 1 = Cash is KING

Cash flow is the lifeblood of every small business. The daily pressure of doing business is challenging enough, however this type of pressure is generally positive. A cash flow crisis is negative pressure and will eat away at your positivity, slowing you down in the productivity department, and in simple terms, financial pressure is destroying. Make a commitment to free yourself now from money worries and get your cash flowing again so you can create the business you have always dreamed of.

They have become people who never quit as opposed to people who give up easily. They constantly think and behave like winners.

Fantastic tips for building credibility for your start-up

People trust established brands far more than they do new ones. They are willing to pay more for a product made by a company that has been around for decades as compared to less from a newly established one.

Furthermore, there are legitimate means of achieving these results, without having to blatantly misrepresent your brand.
