You will agree with me that the most difficult stage of business or an enterprise is during the start-up phase. Note this: majority of the businesses that fail often fail at the period of start-up. So this period is very important to the future of any business. There are ways to implement a better and more efficient start-up mechanisms so as not to hit your rock bottom.

### Prioritize your risks properly

Yeah, there is no doubt that businesses do involve certain levels of risks. As a matter of fact, the big gains are often a products of big risks. However, taking risks should not be done blindly. Before you take the risk, firstly you should be away of the risks and the potential consequence of the risk, so as not to be taken unawares. A friend of mine had a very popular quote about taking risks:

> If you can bear the result, then attempt the risk.

It is a popular fact that even life itself will present us with insane levels of risks. If you refuse to take those risks, you may be unlocking a bigger and more insane risk. However, there is one thing to note: you need to be able to prioritize your risks (with their potential profits or loss) to know the ones to take and the ones to leave.

### Manage your finance properly

One of the major undoings of many start-ups is the lack of financial management and this includes financial records. Without having an accurate financial record, you will not know what you have invested, how far you have gone, if you are making profit or if there are losses. To easily keep tabs of all these as a way of managing your finances, you need a financial record.

Still under financial management, there is a need for budgeting and financial planning. Draft out the way money is going to be spent - know the difference between your capital and the profit. During expenditures, set your priorities aright and understand how to distribute fund to both capital and recurrent expenditures.

### Go for more knowledge

There is a general assertion that "the more you know, you more you gain mastery". In the same way, the more you gain knowledge about investment and business, the more chances of you making it through, because it will expose you to the "Dos and Don'ts". Having extensive knowledge about investment minimizes your chances of taking a wrong step.

In a particular business venture that you want to undertake, there are others that have made success in it and you can share from their own wealth of experience and apply it to your own. Remember that if you observe the procedures of others, you will get their result.
