To beat these odds, I’ll give you THE BARON SOLUTION “Four Keys to a Building a Successful Business.”

  1. A Proven Business Model
    This is the foundational element of your success. Start with a detailed business plan and create a scalable model for your business. This will allow you to prove to investors, and yourself, that your business idea will work particularly in the face of competition.
  2. Experienced Management
    You will need to train yourself in the processes and best practices of your field and as well as bring in other people who have operating experience in your industry. You can get experienced management personnel to sign a “Letter of Intent” if they believe in you, your idea and you can prove to them that you have a business model that works.
  3. Access to Capital
    You should clearly understand the financing needs of your business as laid out in your business plan. With experienced management attached to your company and a proven business model you will have a much easier time raising money for your business.
  4. Strategic Partnerships
    It is critical that you identify and forge any needed relationships necessary for your business to be successful. You can leverage your management team and investors to help you build these relationships since they already have a vested interest in your success.
