Everyone knows someone who has decided to go into small business but did you know that 70% of all small businesses fail within the first 12 months of operation?

That failure rate, in some countries, can reach as much as 85-90%. Setting up a small business is actually one of the most difficult things you can ever do. And to make matters worse, the vast majority do it for the wrong reason.

I have been hunting around for the best places to invest my money for some years now. You see, I'm not an impulsive person. If anything, I am a little bit obsessive compulsive. I'm moreover a PhD. level student of mathematics. As such, I am interested in the mathematical reasons that underlie investment decisions. I'm also as interested in the mathematical basis behind stock market trends as I am with actually making money from them.

Operating a small business might take over your life if you are not careful and organized.

Unlike within big companies where you may possibly take into service scores of men and women to do an assortment of tasks, running a small business entails the small business owner to do lots of the tasks themselves. Some of the everyday jobs would be things like doing your accounts, lodging trademarks, carrying out the ordering etc.

Investing money doesn't need to be a big deal. As a child, you may possibly have sold lemonade on the front lawn in the summer. Your mommy bought the lemons, as well as the sugar. You made the lemonade and then you took your business outside onto the street.
