Why do great startups suddenly die?

General Topics Add comments

It puzzles my head to see great business startups dying like they were some kind of crap. At first, they all show great innovation and potentials that proves beyond any iota of doubt that they will surely make it to the top.

But suddenly, all we hear is CLOSED!

WHY? That is the main question. Why would a great business idea turn out to be the pathway big loss?

Well, what I understand is that there are some necessary; yet missing strategies which new business owners doesn’t see. There absence has high tendency of leading a great innovation grave. 

So watch out for these:

» Mismanagement of Funds

Some times when you start your new business, it begins paying immediately or even earlier than it starts. Some people get carried away by the sudden cash flow and spends every bit of the income.

You end up buying unnecessary stuff for your self, gifts for friends and even end up changing your whole closet so that the whole world gets aware that you’ve made it big with your new baby business using your out fit.

You may never know, but there exist the “DARK TIMES” for all businesses. The time when your business will seize to pay and also demand from you (some times more than you can ever imaging). If you’re the type that spends everything, you end up broke and so will your business! (BROKE!)

Bye-bye will be the final message to your business, bankruptcy true kills. So, learn to save.

» Unidentified Purpose of Business

Every business comes with a purpose, you have to have a reason for doing the business. Your reasons doesn’t have to be the same with someone else’s but its necessary to have the reasons.

Before starting any kind of business, you should write your reasons for such business and always refer to those reasons to make sure you’re not diverting away from them

Stepping out of your purpose, might lead you into the DARK ZONE.

» Poor Marketing Strategies

Yes, marketing strategies matters a lot. Even if your business is great and could be of big impact to human life, it is possible that; “Its only you & your family/friends that are aware of your business”

So, its always good to adhere to some marketing strategies. Find a medium through which you will create awareness for your business. The customers might be out their searching while you are somewhere else displaying what you got to NOBODY! (You alone knows its there).

Find some great marketing strategies and follow them. That could lead your business to its ultimate success.

    I couldn’t agree with you more. But of course, there are many more reasons why businesses fail. It hurts me a bit to see dot-coms go down but I know much more offline businesses go down everyday due to poor decision-making on the part of the owners.

  2. Ahmad Mukoshy Says:

    Yeah, I agree there’s more. I decided to split the article into too. I’ll put up the rest.

    I also agree to decision making, it matters a lot but I don’t think its a core reason to fail.
