Successful businesses maintain detailed accounting records to monitor financial standing and identify potential challenges early on. Businesses now maintain physical and cloud records to prevent data loss in case of disasters like fires or computer viruses.

To succeed, it's crucial to analyse your competitors. Larger companies invest in this intelligence. Analysing your competition depends on your business. For restaurant or store owners, visit their location, ask customers, or stay updated on trade publications. For manufacturing businesses, follow news, communicate with customers, and scrutinise publicly available financial information.

To be successful, consider calculated risks and consider the downside if the situation doesn't work out. This helps you decide if to pursue the risk or consider other opportunities. It's also important to be smart about timing business ventures, considering factors like popularity, technological advancements, and consumer behavior.

It is also important to be creative and strategic, stay focused on your goals, provide great customer service and be consistent to prepare to make some sacrifices.
