Thanks for the tips here.
Proper dealing with the customers really counts. They need respect, understanding, proper treatment, importance and loyalty. Let’s say, always include customers as one of our priorities.

Thanks Damien!
Regards to everyone.

As oppossed to “Find a Business Partner”… IMO it should be “Find a Business Angel/Mentor”. You don’t always need a partner to share the workload. What you need is someone who has been in your shoes and made it. They will help guide you, support you, help pick you up, etc, etc.

I remember advice given to me by a business man when I started out years ago… “prepare to starve”. So, I stocked up the freezer with bread and packed the presses with tins of beans!!!
