Starting a Small Business or
Expanding your current Business?
‘Belly Button to Belly Button’ is a metaphor for the
first of eight key business success principles
detailed in this website and the associated handbook - ‘Maximise outside influence and external contacts'. In
other words, the more people of the right type
you meet or contact
each day i.e. go ‘belly button to belly button’, the
more
success and enjoyment you will have in
business. |
Many people want to be their own boss, gain
financial independence, gain creative freedom, and determine their own fate by setting up their
own business. Their success rate is very poor: 50% of businesses fail by year 3.
Why?
They failed…
- to keep tight control of their
business
- to choose a viable market or failed to
adapt to changing market conditions
Even if you can survive, business performance is largely poor. Why is
this? In the bestseller The Millionaire Next Door,
Thomas J Stanley and William D. Danko state that most people have no business ever working
for themselves:
|
The
average net income for the more than fifteen million sole proprietorships
in America is only
$6400 (£4000)!
About
25% of sole proprietorships do not make one cent of profit during a typical
year. It’s even worse for partnerships.
What about corporations? Only 55% have any taxable income
during a typical 12-month period.

This website and accompanying handbook is written from the trenches to
help the reader achieve
- profits that zoom year after
year
- employees that smile each
day
- customers that rave about your
work
The handbook offers a complete and balanced
guide to overcoming these failings and to setting up, operating and expanding a great
small business using an evolutionary
approach based on the powerful principles of nature and
genetics.
It is packed with practical tips, techniques,
checklists, book references, and methods to help you apply these principles practically.
It is quick and easy to reference...ready made for a busy
person.
