Inadequate Funds, Business Mistake

January 312010

Video from our FREE Online Business Course
http://www.myownbusiness.org
Session 2 – The Business Plan

Question:
“From the standpoint of business organization, what mistakes do you see people making most often?”

John Powers
Attorney-at-Law

Topics covered in this video:
Starting a business, capital, funding

Transcript:
In working with businesses of all sizes I find that people often under estimate the amount of capital that they need to start the business and also to have in reserve for times of struggle and getting the business up and running. So I would say inadequate capitalization would be the primary problem that I run into.

Lab With Leo #82 – Business and Second Life: What works and what doesn’t?

Catherine Winters
Virtual Worlds Marketing Consultant

More and more real-world organizations are using popular virtual world Second Life for a variety of purposes: advertising, education, e-commerce, or for the novelty factor alone. Are these meaningful forays into the future of the internet, or simply companies playing around in virtual reality for its own sake? Catherine Winters (Catherine Omega in Second Life) shows some examples of real-world organizations’ Second Life presences and explains what works and what doesn’t — and why.

Catherine discusses future applications of virtual worlds and explains why sometimes the best tool is the simplest one.

Common Business Mistakes to Avoid

January 82010

Video from our FREE Online Business Course
http://www.myownbusiness.org
Session 4 – Business Organization

Question:
“What are some of the most common mistakes you see with people going into small business?”

Stan Henslee
Certified Public Accountant (C.P.A.)

Topics covered in this video:
Business mistakes, capital, planning, separation, bank accounts, organization

Transcript:
Basically I think there are three. The first one is that they’re going into the business under-capitalized. They put everything they’ve got into the business at the very start and they don’t have anything to fall back on. If they just had some high limit credit cards that were fairly clean to have something to fall back on to pay the bills when the business takes off a little slower than expected.

The second problem I see is co-mingling funds: paying personal expenses out of the business bank account and paying the business bills out of the personal bank account. You have to keep them separate and you have to treat the business as a separate entity and let it stand on its own.

The third biggest mistake I see, and this cripples most young businesses, is that owners take too much money out of the business in the early stages; where they leave the business under capitalized and no longer have the money needed to replace the product on the shelf or to expand into new areas. That is the kiss of death to a young business.

The Fighter Pilot and the Monk

January 82010

Fearless Success in Business and Life

Two Evenings of Free Talks
Friday and Saturday, November 13th and 14th, from 7:30-10:00 pm.
Washington Irving Auditorium, 40 Irving Place (just east of Union Square at 17th Street), New York, NY

Real solutions for all New Yorkers looking for future economic stability and well being

Help for New Yorkers coping with the fallout of the current economic crisis comes from the unlikely pairing of Geshe Michael Roach, Buddhist Monk and author of the best-selling book, The Diamond Cutter, The Buddha on Managing Your Business and Your Life, and John Foley, performance expert and former lead solo pilot of the Navys Blue Angel flight demonstration squadron. Geshe Michael and John Foley will offer a two-night experience, which will encourage and provide solutions, especially for those rebuilding businesses and careers. The talks are absolutely free; no strings attached, and are aimed at helping us all get the economy moving.

Two lives of great accomplishment from opposite ends of the social spectrum come together for an inside look into personal success and fearlessness. Their message is applicable not only to professional endeavors, but also to an individuals personal quest for excellence.

The event also marks the release of the 10th Anniversary Edition of The Diamond Cutter, as well as the long-awaited sequel to the work, Karmic Management. Members of the audience will receive a free copy of The Fighter Pilot and the Monk: Fearless Success in Business and Life, which includes parts of both books.

Geshe Michael Roach is the first American to be awarded the title of geshe, or master of Buddhism, after 20 years of study in a Tibetan monastery. He helped found Andin International Diamond Corporation and take it to $100 million dollars in annual sales. He is also an honors graduate of Princeton University and has received the Presidential Scholar Medallion from the president of the United States.

John Foley, in addition to his achievements as a Navy fighter pilot, is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and holds advanced degrees in Business Management, from the Stanford Graduate School of Business (where he was a Sloan Fellow); in International Policy Studies, from Stanford University; and in Strategic Studies, from the Naval War College. He is the founder and president of the CenterPoint Companies, which provides business performance training to Fortune 500 corporations, professional associations, and educational organizations around the world.
