Secret #6 - What's the single biggest reason a
business will fail Answer - Undercapitalization. In simple words - not enough
money for the scale of operation. (The second reason for failure is not enough
experience, but with "enough" money behind you, most people can learn to
survive.)How much money is enough That depends on the expenses involved. It's
obvious that less money is needed for a flea market than for a retail store, but
what's not so obvious Let's talk about a major ingredient - inventory. Does the
appearance of your inventory make you look like an amateur or a pro Customers
don't like to give their money to an operation that looks like it may not be
there tomorrow, instead, they're happy to give their money to a successful
operation that will be around for many more years to come.Translation - have the
faith & the good sense to give yourself the best odds at winning, not the
worst! Make a 110% commitment to yourself and absolutely jam pack your business
with as much selection/inventory as you can possibly afford (even borrow) to
maximize the odds of having the selection & professional appearance to make
a sale!Some people think they're being smart with minimal inventory
purchases/displays, I think they're cutting their own throat! We see it all the
time - minimal orders bring back minimal results! HOW COULD IT BE OTHERWISE Put
your money into inventory/bigger selection, where it can give you a return of
30% plus per week instead of letting it sit in the bank earning 2% per
year!Secret #7 - What about taking advantage of discounts, should they be taken
or should I hold on to my money Discounts are a HUGE factor! Yes, positively,
absolutely, of course, si, aqui, for sure, no doubt, always, always, always go
for discounts, did I forget to say YES There are two ways to make money in
retailing. One way is when you sell something. The other way is when you buy
something. Buying enough to qualify for a discount is the same thing as putting
that discount money in your pocket, and your pocket is where that money is
supposed to be!!! Only FEAR of not selling that product stops the retailer from
buying larger quantities and coming from fear will not lead to making good
business decisions. In reality, when the buying cost is lowered, the selling
price is substantially lowered, driving sales up beyond the beginners
expectations. Put the right shoe on the right foot - focusing (without fear) on
buying at the best price is more important than focusing on the selling price
because the cost will determine the risk factor and the selling price
possibilities. Secret #8 - How do you figure out a "break even"Very few people
in business know how to figure out what their break even point is, or what it
will be when they open their business - a big, big mistake because the break
even is the foundation that determines a risk and profit basis! Don't try to
build your business without understanding your foundation first.Let's start with
a very simple break even proposition. Judy is considering selling earrings at
the local swapmeet. Let's say she buys earrings from her distributor at an
average cost of $.30 cents each and she plans on selling them for $1, and her
only fixed business expense is the rent of $28 per day.How many earrings must
Judy sell to break even Well out of each dollar brought in, .30 cents is the
cost of product/earrings and .70 cents is left over which is the gross profit,
which is used to pay the rent - so how many units of .70 cents are needed to pay
the rent Simply divide the rent of $28 by .70 cents which equals 40 unit
