The more essential the vendor is to your business, the greater those risks can be, and many of them are out of your control.

Residential and commercial construction, especially in dense areas, often has to coexist with pedestrian traffic. Construction companies are responsible for clearly communicating hazards to the general public and providing alternative paths for foot traffic that are as useful as the paths active construction projects may impede. Ahead, review the standards that construction companies need to meet for protecting pedestrians in construction projects, and how to put those standards into practice.

A common question I get is “How do I get a bank loan to fund my startup?” The default answer is that it probably won’t happen, because most banks just don’t make bank loans to startups. The failure rate is just too high, and startups typically don’t have the assets or revenue stream to back up the loan. That’s why angel and equity investors are so sought after by entrepreneurs.

Investors invest in people, not ideas. Customers buy from people, not companies. Employees rally for a great leader, not a brand. As an entrepreneur, you need relationships to succeed.

Before starting a business, it’s a good idea to get your personal finances in order. Too many ambitious entrepreneurs jump into the business creation game before they have stable financial footing in their own lives, and it ends up limiting their full potential.
