Did you know that statistics show that 40% of all new business start-ups fail within the first year, 80% within the first five years, and 80% of those who made it through the first five years fail in the second five years. So, scary to know , but only 4% make it after 10 years. In South Africa times are even harder – our failure rates are even worse. The fact is that starting up a business is the easy part, the hard part is making it a lasting success.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0px 0px 2.14286rem; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background: rgb(228, 228, 228); color: rgb(69, 69, 69); font-family: &amp;quot;Source Sans Pro&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;A business owner, according to Michael E.

Some do manage to nail the entrepreneur part but often soon tumble down a long dark road of administration, paperwork and office related duties... the tasks that binds the business together like glue but takes up so much time and money, without bringing in money itself, that you have to decide if you want to sit and struggle with your admin, or get out there and make money.But the sad reality is, the more money you make or products/services you sell the bigger the demand in the admin department becomes, and before you know another company based on &amp;nbsp;a great idea or product has to close its doors because it couldn't survive the administrative requirements.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Each category mentioned above is very important, you need to find the balance between the roles of technician, manager and entrepreneur and what will work best for you and your business. To support new business owners with the important task of business planning, running your business and its administrative duties, &lt;b&gt;TKD Amin &amp;amp; Office Assistants&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;are willing to give you an e-book&lt;span style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&quot;Business Game Plan for Success&quot;. &lt;/b&gt;This will&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;provide an easy and straightforward framework needed to draft a well-crafted game plan that will create the positive change and growth necessary for business success.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We specialize in running the admin and other office related duties on your behave.
