In order for a business to work well, the most important factor in finance is maintaining cash flow. Manage spending and acceptance carefully. The mistake in maintaining cash flow will hamper the company's operations and cause the company to run smoothly.

The location of strategic business location is the determining factor of business success. Non-strategic locations can cause companies to operate less efficiently.

half of the effort will result in a failed effort and fail. With a half-hearted attitude, the possibility of failing to be great.

1. Uncertain income, both in the early stages and in the growth stage, in business there is no guarantee to continue to earn a sustainable income.

seen as a valuable lesson.

The quality of life that does not immediately increase in the business, will result in someone withdraw from entrepreneurship activities. For example, a trader whose quality of life does not increase, he will retreat from his trading business and enter into other ventures.

Based on the analysis of the business environment, entrepreneurship is not necessarily a failure in its business, if since its start its business can analyze the strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat (SWOT) or the Future. Although the risk of failure in business is always there, entrepreneurs take the risk by accepting their responsibilities and actions.
