Do You Actually Ever Get Anything From This
I just received another one in my inbox today. The link in the email when clicked takes you to a site with a picture of some guy standing in front of a nice house with a great car and you hear this audio of him saying how much money you will make with his program and why this works and the others don't. He told me why MLM doesn't work, Why gifting doesn't work, and why these very high ticket items don't work. In the end he says he has a program for everybodys budget, one that is $1,000, the other is $297 and the final one is just $14.95. Everybody has a point where they will part with some of there money in the hopes that they are going to make so much more.Is there actually a product here or is everybody just t

'No' is not what you want to hear from a banker or investor when you need funding to grow your business.

A 'No' can provide a valuable learning experience, one that can lead to an eventual 'Yes'. There will be many a 'No' in your business life so get used to it ; continue to be the optimist (a requirement for any successful entrepreneur) you always were.

How to handle a 'No'.

Start off by not getting mad, defensive, or hurt. Make sure you do not get angry as you may have to deal with this lender in the future!

Do ask, politely, why your funding request was turned down: this is your chance to learn.

Hopefully they will give you specific reasons. Take notes and ask reasonable follow up questions i.e. make the most of this 'training'.

Listen very carefully and you might discover that the lender's concerns can be overcome. You may have the opportunity to adjust your proposal and get your funding.

It may be a big and resounding 'No', one without or with an insufficient explanation such as 'We are presently restricting our loans to certain sectors.'

Here are some common issues that a banker or investor may or may not express to you.

Clothing, Sourcing and Buyers
Look before you leap. Common idiom, but very well said. It relates to every thing we do. Not just buying and selling but in ever walk of our lives. All trade and business activities place a word of caution to buyers, sellers, importers, exporters, wholesalers, retailer and to all those who are networked by business and trading activities.Buying and selling clothing, readymade garments, fabric, home textiles is complex, especially when you buy or import from outside sources.One has to be careful while placing big quantity orders for clothing like Jeans, trousers, shorts, skirts, blouses, polo shirts, t/shirts and many more readymade garments made out of 100% cotton or blended fabric.Buyers usually l

Develop Your Leadership Styles and Skills
What is it that has set the great leaders and entrepreneurs of the world apart from the rest of the world? You know what I’m talking about- the truly remarkable ones that have made their mark on the world. Sam Walton didn’t create the Wal-Mart Empire overnight, and he certainly didn’t do it alone. He had a group of quality employees working for him, a group that both respected and admired Mr. Walton and of his accomplishments. He is a prime example of possessing the right leadership styles and skills to get the job done, and created and kingdom in the process.Of course, success means different things to different people; therefore the personal definition of leadership must also be different.

There are many good reasons not to attach personal assets to secure funding especially jointly owned assets such as a home. Do not rush into placing your personal assets, especially your home, at risk. The lender will take your home if the loan defaults and the stress of such a seizure can ripe apart your family!

That said it is not unreasonable for a lender to request more than 'sweat equity' from you. If you are not willing to place a significant investment in your own business then why should any lender?

The business is not yet profitable.

Why would a bank or lender be interested in a business that is not producing a profit?

Why are you in a business that is not profitable?

There is a significant difference between not being profitable and not being able to meet operational and inventory expenses! Profit is the difference between the total revenue of a business and the total of all the business' expenses.

Industry specific averages do exist and bankers and investors will refer to them when they do their due diligence. There are many sources where industry information can be obtained the most recognized being Dun and Bradstreet.

Smaller businesses may not show a profit because the owner takes any surplus as personal income or they purchase business assets: surplus revenue turns into a operational expense.

The lender has every reason to be concerned about a businesses' profitability. They do want you to be profitable and they need to hear how funding will increase your profitability: make sure you do so in your funding proposal.
