How to Win at Small Business - barlowbooks

With well over 1 million small businesses in Canada and 100,000 new entrepreneurs taking the leap every year, the path to lasting success is not easy. Many business owners struggle not because of fierce competition but due to common missteps. Here’s the hard truth: more than one-third of new businesses won’t make it past year 5 and less than half will survive a decade. Even for those that do survive, success often falls far short of expectations.
