When I was young, I envisioned Death Valley as a barren
landscape dotted with bones. Later I
thought of it as a rugged and treacherous landscape. While it does contain plenty of that, it also
contains an incredible variety of life, including over one thousand plant and
four-hundred animal species.
I recently watched a video that used the term “valley of
death” to describe the first years of a business. That’s an apt description, since half of all
businesses don’t make it past their fourth year. One wouldn’t want to attempt walking
through the extreme temperatures and terrain of Death Valley without a plan and
a lot of guidance. New businesses would
do well to take the same precautions. Lack of a business plan is a leading
cause of failure. Businesses need money
to survive. Without a plan for raising funding,
prospects can be bleak.
