SOME NOT SO TERRIFYING TRUTHS
• Just like Frankenstein, every business started as someone’s vision.
• You will work hard and hopefully smart.

DON’T BE SPOOKED
• Every successful small business goes through 8 stages of growth.
• You’ve got to spend money to make it. • The more involved you are in your business
the better. • Business owners must work “on” not “in”
their business and take the 40K foot view. • You need to see your business as a whole
with all parts integrated.
