Plan Your Business

As an entrepreneur, you’ll need a plan to avoid pitfalls and to build a profitable small business. And to create that plan, you’ll need to do research on various topics, from exploring your personality to conducting market analysis, and reviewing your finances. You’ll also need to ask and answer plenty of questions. What kind? Do you have self-discipline? Are you prepared to run a business that may require working 12-16 hours a day six days a week or more? And do you have the basic skills needed to run your new enterprise?

D&B Did You Know?
What famous person worked for D&B and wrote the following credit report?

"This person has been in the neighborhood some 18 months and is about 40 years old; engaged in no particular business at present or since his appearance, although he is supposed to be married. Occupies a log cabin, which he uses as a residence and office. On a shingle above the door appears his name and the words: 'Real Estate and Insurance – Land Bought and Sold.' Other than this, he has no visible means of support. Assets consist of a three-legged stool, a broken-down desk, and six months rent due his landlord."

Abraham Lincoln
