Many Fail To Plan, More Fail To Execute! by Martin Harshberger |
| |
|
As the owner, CEO or senior executive of a business, you
share many things in common with the coaches of professional
sports teams. Can you imagine the head coach of a team - say
in the National Football League - going into a game without
a game plan? Of course not! That coach would soon be out of
work. Coaches literally spend hundreds hours preparing for a
60-minute event. |

Obama Tells the Banks to Lend! by Martin Harshberger |

Any kind of real recovery and job creation is impossible
without access to credit by small to mid-sized businesses.
New entrepreneurs, and even experienced business people,
often ask me to help them write plans to get SBA financing
for a new or troubled venture. I tell them it just doesn't
happen that way. The SBA, USDA, and most other federal loan
programs simply guarantee bank loans. You have to get the
bank to approve your loan first. But banks are not in the
venture capital business. They want secure loans. |
