Read on for more great ways to keep your business from failing: the 8 best business survival strategies,

1. Plan
So what’s the best way to start a business? Easy—you start with a plan. Plan for the desired results. Simple.

2. Beware the detour
We know business’s rough, but here’s the deal: When things are not working out to plan—making simple, smart tweaks to your business plan can save you a lot of misery. Carrying on against all odds and coming out victorious is highly impossible.

3. Beware of distortion
The problem with this is, people don’t necessarily stop to think when they need to. They keep trudging along thinking that their plan and associated actions are the best and one fine day it finally dawns upon them that, hey business is bad!

4. Enjoy the conversation
It takes you experience from time spent in the business to learn. Enjoy that time spent on the business- never overindulge but instead keep some ME time for your self. Make time for your business and make time for your self as well. Rushing without forethought spells danger! Having ME time keeps you in balance.

5. Avoid handouts
Just because you want to keep the business running, you decide to reward and keep staff who are perpetually spending work time on games and other unproductive activities. Long term effects? Disastrous! Remove on sight when counsel fails. No compromise.

6. Don’t fall for temptation
In business we are tempted to spend. Be prudent. Spend what is necessary to keep the business running and cut back on what is wanted.

7. Invite the kids to the grown-up table
Spend time with the people in your business. Talk and share. You’ll be amazed at how much these people value the conversation and the things you’ll learn from it.

8. Do business responsibly
An eye for an eye or is it give a heart and get one in return? Anyways I prefer to say never do unto others what you won’t want them to do unto you. An honest business goes a long way.
