Watching Financial Mess

September 29, 2008

The first time I started a business I thought it was a sign of success when I got an office and started growing my staff.  Wow was I dumb.

If you are a small business and do not have a retail storefront, do not go down that path.  It is easy to talk yourself into it:

  1. I need an office to meet customers.
  2. I work better from an office.
  3. I need a place for employees to work.

Growing a virtual business with virtual assistants, consultants and specialists is hard.  So is paying high overhead, training everyone and making payroll, paying healthcare, purchasing equipment, etc.

No matter how you slice it, starting a business is not easy.  But you will be much more nimble and able to make changes much faster if you grow your business with virtual help.

- Thank You!
