Acquiring Start-Up Capital An adequate supply of capital is essential as many profitable businesses fail because they don’t have enough cash to pay their employees and suppliers. But what is an adequate supply of capital? The only way to tell is by doing a significant amount of research on your potential market and formally documenting this in a business plan.

  • Analyzing Customers in Your Business Plan - The Customer Analysis section of the business plan assesses the customer segments that the company serves. In it, the company must 1) identify its target customers, 2) convey the needs of these customers, and 3) show how its products and services satisfy these needs. The first step of the Customer Analysis is to define exactly which customers the company is serving. This requires specificity. It is not adequate to say the company is targeting small businesses, for example, because there are several million of these types of customers. Rather, the plan must identify precisely the customers it is serving, such as small businesses with 10 to 50 employees based in large metropolitan cities on the West Coast. Once the plan has clearly identified and defined the company’s target customers, it is necessary to explain the demographics of these customers.

You should do your best to find out all you can about a prospective employer, starting right from the pre-interview stage. Here are some things to look out for.

The company is in the midst of mergers and acquisitions, or there is a major reorganization taking place, staff cutbacks are on the anvil or some other major flux is occurring. 2. The company you are considering is not undergoing problems like those described above, but many other companies in that industry are.
  • Employee Retention - Benchmark Your Jobs, Not Your People - Many companies benchmark their top performers to determine how to hire more people like them. That’s a good idea, but here’s a better one. Instead of benchmarking your people, benchmark your jobs. When you benchmark people there are variables that may skew the results and not give you an accurate picture of the ideal person for the position. When people assess other people, their personal biases enter in, in addition to the fact that people are complex and bring unknown variables that may or may not have anything to do with success in the job.

  • Making These Decisions Will Change Your Life - We all make choices every day. In fact, one way to look at your life is to consider it as the sum total of all the choices you have made. It is easy to think about that in the big picture, think for example, about these choices: - Whether to finish High School (or not) - Whether to go to college (or not) - Where to go to college - What job(s) to take - Who to date/marry - Where to live - Whether or when to have children Certainly these are the “big choices” and the ones that anyone would say have an impact on who you are at a given point in your life. However, while these are important questions, I do not believe they are the most important ones we make.

  • How to Integrate Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma - Six sigma is now the most common continuous improvement tool in business. It is often combined with lean manufacturing to form the lean six sigma improvement method. Six sigma has been in use by a select few companies for over 20 years. Lean manufacturing was made popular by Toyota in the Toyota Production System, and has also been in use for a couple decades. Recently, the combination of both methods has proven successful. However, integrating the two disciplines is not always easy, as the approach to each method differs considerably.
