Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face?
Darshan Thakkar: As journey started with 2000 Rs only, had to suffer numbers of phases. As a new comer in the market, we couldn’t show credentials as well as satisfactory clients. Due to this, some clients were objecting to give an order. Same way supplier was also asking for an advance payment. Following are the challenges I had to cross:
Health Care. Bar-none, one of the most challenging aspects of running a small business comes from managing health care for your employees. ...
Government Regulations. ...
Federal Income Taxes. ...
The Economy. ...
Tax Compliance. ...
Cash Flow. ...
Staying Passionate. ...
Not Diversifying Client Bases.
Growth vs. Quality
Hiring New Employees etc..
As a small business owner, realizing this one insight is essential for maintaining a calm head: our competitors face the same problems as i do. All of us, regardless of the industry we’re in, are essentially in the same boat. How i respond to these challenges will change the “game” – as i became more successful, thereby leaving our rivals by the wayside. It’s important to remember that these challenges are just that – challenges and we do overcome them.
