Blog’s Purpose
Take any business magazine or even an academic text. Chances are that you will find the articles or the theories pertain to large businesses. Even MBA programs cater to large businesses. They do not necessarily address the landmines entrepreneurs face.
Small and medium businesses (SMEs) are the life line of any economy. SMEs fail not because of lack of ideas, but because of poor strategy execution and poor management. A SME with a good management practices and a history of successful execution of strategic plans will have no trouble obtaining funding. The articles posted on this blog are from those who have been in the trenches - entrepreneurs who have started a business.

The articles that I have authored on this site is my take on the business topics with focus on small and medium businesses. Having lived through a starting and running a business, it’s my opinion on issues your small or medium business could face, and what could fix it. Try it and if you succeed kudos to you and your untiring efforts. If you fail don’t come by suing me. I am not offering you legal or professional advise. Just use some common sense.
