Don’t aim to monopolize the marketplace: there’s room for more sellers! Strive to offer your customers a constantly improved service.
#9 Make a good team for your business! It is easy to feel under pressure because you are isolated at home working on your computer. You may be working for yourself rather than employed in a busy company, but nevertheless, your business will grow strong with the best associates. Spend a little time each month talking to your bank manager, your accountant, your webmaster, your top suppliers, your best clients, in fact anyone who plays a crucial role in the profitability and running of your business. Be open about your plans and involve your people skills.
