Need information on starting up your own business?  You can find more than enough on the internet, in books and classes to take up all your time.  Since time is finite the goal should be to cut down the cycle time to getting the business going to where you are focusing on running your own business. 

How do you do that?  Find the right relationships.  It’s that simple.  Keep a list of your questions.  Then go about seeking the appropriate person to answer them.  Here’s what will happen.

• You will get to establish a new relationship that could be helpful.  That’s a pretty good benefit.
• You will receive an answer that is much more likely to be on target because there is no substitute for verbal communication to establish the context for a good answer. That’s helpful.
• You will receive encouragement (not always, but most of the time) to continue your search and grow your small business.  A boost for you and your enthusiasm–you’ll like it.

Think about it.  You get the personal attention to your questions.  You receive the support and encouragement of others.  And, you build relationships that will help you and your business. 

When you are dependent on the right people you will be amazed at the good things that will start to come your way.

Whether you are starting up your own business, running your own business or just seeking small business growth the quality of your relationships can accelerate and simplify the path to designing the business and life you desire.
