Don't be mistaken: to be successful, a small business requires the same many skills and talents as larger organizations. More often than not, small business owners put themselves out of business, not for lack of capital, but lack of knowledge (<em>cf '<a href="http://www.altimafundingsolutions.com/index.php/2015/09/26/bankable-solut…all-businesses/" target="_blank">Bankable solutions for retailers, restaurants and small businesses'</a></em>). Competition has nothing to do with it. As in any other discipline, you have to <strong>learn</strong> the fundamentals, <strong>prepare</strong> like maniacs and do the work!
