What makes a successful small business

You are going to have to spend money to make money. Trying to be overly thrifty will cost you more in the long run!

Want to know what makes a successful small business?

Our friends over at Xero have recently conducted some research in order to help find the answer to the often asked question of what makes a successful small business.  Some of those answers may well surprise you!

Five characteristics successful small business owners share

It seems workaholics, know-it-alls and spend thrifts need not apply (or at least they could be making things difficult for themselves). The five common characteristics are –

  • They don’t work around the clock
  • They don’t pretend to have all the answers
  • They’re willing to spend money
  • They keep their finances in order
  • They aren’t afraid to fail
