Ready, Set . . . GOALS!
Everyone has individual goals but only about 3% have a well-balanced goals program. An individual goal could be something as simple as getting to work on time or losing ten pounds. It could be a negative goal like getting the next fix or the next drink. A goals program is an entirely different matter. There are many reasons people do not have a goals program. One major reason is an unrealistic or imagined fear which causes one to believe that his/her efforts will produce failure, so it is "safer" not to try.
Consider this: You could generate genuine fear in a bank teller by covering your face with a handkerchief, putting your hand in your coat pocket, pointing your finger toward the teller and saying, "This is a hold-up." The fear would be based on the teller's imagination but the fear would be real. It is this fear, based on false assumptions, which prevents most people from setting realistic and worthwhile goals. Combine that with the fact that many people do not understand that failure is an event and not a person which is yet another reason why most people don't have a goals program.
Admittedly, there is danger in many things. There is danger when an airplane leaves the ground, but there is more danger for the plane if you permanently park it because it will deteriorate faster sitting still than it will when flying, which is why it was built. There is danger when you rent a house, because the tenants might not take care of it; but there's even more danger if you leave the house empty. Houses deteriorate faster when empty and not cared for, than when occupied, which is why they are built. There's danger in setting goals because maybe you don't have the patience to wait for your goal to develop and therefore you might not reach
them fast enough or you might not reach them at all, but there's infinitely more danger in not setting them.
I think having a goals is so important that I have designed my "Ready, Set . . . GOALS" program that is: guaranteed to increase your sales production; guaranteed to make you a better spouse; guaranteed to make you a better student . . . plain and simple, this program is guaranteed to work. You don't want to miss it!

Re: Make sure you're a corporation
- [quote="Evan"]Here's another suggestion from my experience - make sure your company is set up as a corporation. If you're going for angel or VC financing, they will become equity owners in your business. For this to happen you need to have a corporation and a shareholder's agreement.
I've seen a lot of deals fall apart because the business was not ready with their corporation. They were sole proprietorships and had not given any consideration to a shareholder's agreement.
It makes you look like unprofessional and can seriously detract from your capital raising initiatives.[/quote]
I agree that one major step in being "capital ready" is to create a separate entity. In the US that traditionally means forming a Coproration, although the LLC approach is becoming a viable option.
However, just being a Corporation (or LLC) doesn't mean you are Capital Ready.
Books for Women Entrepreneurs
- There's a thread for good books in the Resources folder, but it doesn't target books for businesswomen particularly, so I figured I'd start such a thread here.
It doesn't matter how successful you are in your business - it's always possible to learn something new.
In subsequent posts I give Table of Contents and brief descriptions for various titles - most of them devoted to the businesswoman - and sometimes a review. If anyone else has read a review, or has read the book and found it useful, please comment!
