Hello, i have been longing to start and run a small business ashop but my major challenge is capital i need ksh.30000 or $ 300 dollars and wouldn't mind any support from well wishers .I am a kenyan citizen from Homabay county .aronedward2018@gmail.com(email address)
@@brian_silverthorn Its astonishing that you are still responding to comments. You're an absolute legend. Also thank you for you're series on this. It's been a gift for me.
@@kazakhstanman6121 Thanks for saying that. When people take the time to comment, acknowledging that effort and thanking them is the right thing to do.
My advice to you is don't! Learn what is is to work for someone else, learn what it entails to run a business, customer relations, financial statements, tax laws, competition, supply and demand, geographical advantage and disadvantage etc... don't start a business if you don't know what the hell you doing! It's like writing university exams without even going to school. You'll fail fast and fail hard
I don't know about the hotel business in Egypt so I can't comment on that. Starting any business correctly, including a cafe, and building it into a valuable asset is always a good idea. I know people who started with a cafe and have grown their business into 4 successful restaurants and a successful resort. It's taken a number of years and a lot of smart work, but it happened. Good luck with whatever you decide.
This video has been up and runing for 9 years now.. It is helping me (Owner of a small merchandise business) to learn how to not only keep my company steady, but how to keep growing.. God Bless you and thank you for all your effort..
"To obtain financial freedom, one must be either a business owner, an investor, or both, generating passive income, particularly on a monthly basis." - Robert Kiyosaki. I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already,got a new business my wife is managing, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made
I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do for me now because I have no idea of how and where to invest in.I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.?
uunderstanding the intricacies of investing is crucial. That's why it's important to have a reliable support system, such as a financial consultant, who can guide you, especially when it comes to selecting assets. Personally, I work with Regina Louise Collaro, an investment advisor who collaborates with a licensed wealth management firm. I must say that my financial journey has been exceptional under her guidance. Regina is widely recognized for her excellent services, so you may already be familiar with her. Thanks to her expertise, I have achieved financial stability and now earn a consistent monthly income through her passive income strategy.
That’s great lawrence , your investment advisor must be really good,I have seen testimonies of people using the help of investment advisors in making them more financial stable. Do you mind sharing more info on this person?
She is easy to find , make a quick research of her on the internet with her name Regina Louise Collaro and leave her a message. I believe sh works with anyone independent of their location.
Thank you for talking about your financial consultant. I will definitely look her up and try to get in touch with her. I have realized that relying solely on UA-cam videos and attempting to manage my finances on my own hasn't been very effective.
I’m about to start a small business again My first business failed due to COVID This video couldn’t come at right time for me Thank you so much for all the advices, I will follow each step to have and run small business successfully. Thank you
Hi Melissa. Thanks for the kind words. I'm happy that the video was helpful for you. Please check out the new series I've started. I just posted video number 2. The playlist is Step by Step Process for Starting and Growing a Successful Business. I wish you the best.
This is great because I was thinking of opening my own restaurant and I was trying to figure out how it can survive the first two years of business. Your video was wonderful, thank you so much! :)
I would also throw in government contracting opportunities for small businesses. The government spends over 500 billion dollars every year on contracting, and 23% is strictly devoted to small business.
Great idea Fernando. My specialty is helping owners maximize the valuation of their businesses so they can do other things and still receive a guaranteed income.
***** Dear Brian Silverthorn, I am Cambodain People , My name Thou Ratha I am a student of Marketing . So can you explain me more a bout to be success small Business.

Love the video. The hiring process is always the most frustrating. I was told hire slow fire fast, but it's difficult making that judgement call if they are the perfect fit.

The tips provided are applicable also with marketing in such not just making the business stable.

thanks a lot sir for this video for sharing your brilliant thoughts and ideas base on your great experience...i have a small bussiness before but i was loose it by wrong handling and not that much good knowledge...by now i am thinking to start it again...so this information is very big helpfull for me...God blessed you always and more power...
Thank you very much. for this time being, im doing a guesthouse business an i want to upgrade it to boutique hotel business. In meantime, im also plan to do food truck business since i love to cook. Is that posibble that i can get some advice from you time by time?
Great Video, Really hit home on building a successful business. I do believe in surrounding yourself with like minded individuals. If I have a dream, so should my team.
Great video Mr. Silverthorn, really puts into perspective on how and what to look for to run a successful small business. When I am ready, I wish to open my own business and such I am trying to collect all the advice I can to do so and this video isa great tool for that.
This surely is very useful to those having difficulties in building a strong brand for small businesses on the Internet. Many people don't usually see it but starting and building a web presence could be the toughest challenge of business people.
I want to own my own boutique. Wouldnt mind starting out online and then do instore in the long run as well. I just need a smart business pusher. Then I will be successful.
Find someone running a business similar to the one you want to run and ask for help. Most successful business people are happy to help others get started and become successful.
Find a way to provide products and/or services doing something you enjoy and can do well that people will pay for. Ask business owners who have a business that would interest you how they got started. Most are willing to help you, but you won't know until you ask.
Hey there, I like this video. When you going to have more of these type of videos? If you want to get these same videos on page 1 of Google, I can definitely help you with that. Bests Regards and keep adding videos. Damon
I need to watch to this kind of video, coz i want to be a successful businessman with great corporation, i like the way you explain it and i love the background
Thank you. The basic principles of business don't change. There are, however, great changes in technology and innovation that, used correctly, can speed the growth and success of a business.
Brian stated that he believes the keys to starting and growing a successful business are fundamentally broken down into Efficient Operations, Increasing Profits, Growth, and Quick Response To The Market. In my opinion, I think that he’s pointing out the fact that you must engineer systems for your business before you start it. Not to take away from what Brian is teaching you, but another business expert that you should check out is Robert Kiyosaki and his Rich Dad series because he goes into extreme detail about business systems. You could combine Robert’s teachings with that of Brian.
Best Local Businesses In Thanks for including me in the same sentence as Robert Kiyosaki. I'm honored. His books are a great resource for business knowledge.
Thanks for sharing! I love watching small businesses prosper and grow. They bring new ideas and innovations to the market. You mention some very important points, such as the value of employee relations and ensuring that employees are happy, productive, and focused. Looking forward to more videos! I subbed :)
I would love to get some consulting, I have a very small health center that I opened and it’s more successful than I thought it would be and I don’t really know where to turn. How to hire employees properly and manage the money.
Hi Yana, I'd be happy to schedule a call to learn more about your business and determine if I can help. Please contact me at briansilverthorn@att.net. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this Mr BrianSilverthorn. We do agree that employee's always the number one. Now there's something I'll like to know from your perspective: Do you think that it is better to be paying our employee a monthly fixed salary or to give them incentives/commission by percentage in driving them to work for a common goal?
+Verse Monct It depends on the type of business and the position an employee occupies. The challenge is to find an objective, track-able result to tie the incentive/commission to. It's relatively easy for sales people. Commissions can be based on dollar volume or units sold, for example. The best way to get high performance and high productivity from employees is to be very thorough and very careful in the hiring process.
Would you say it's better to start by working and managing a small business, gain a good amount of experience before starting your own? I plan on starting and building a very successful Homecare / Nursing Asst Schl/business very soon. Thanks for the lesson.
That's how it worked for me. I was the general manager for a small business before starting my own business. You don't have to start as an employee, but it's a great way to gain experience. I have a new eGuide coming out very soon that will help when you start your own business, I'll be posting a video about it by the end of the week.
Thank you so much for your kindness in helping others by sharing your knowledge. I am from a different country with no family here and I am glad to say that the journey was not easy, but I was finally able to accomplished having my own small business... I know it doesn’t make me a billionaire. However, it makes me happy too inspiring others to dream and act in order to achieve their goals. Thank you, I love your video.
Thank you for your kind words. And, congratulations on starting your business. It's people like you who drive the economy and provide for others in many ways.
I'm not sure what you mean by safest. Crime free? Lot's of potential clients so the risk of failure is low making it a safe investment? A lot of things need to be considered. I wish I had a good answer for you.
@@brian_silverthorn Sorry I didn't really specify...like I live in San Francisco, and it's gotten very difficult for small business owners due to street crime. I'm trying to understand if there are safer(from a physical wellness perspective) places to try to run a small business from than here.
@@thefartstarver35 I don't know your business, but anyplace that has the population needed to support your business and a low crime rate. If you want to stay in California, you may have to move to a safer town. Many folks I know have moved their jobs or their businesses to different states. You have a tough decision to make. I wish you the best.
Hello, I’m a small business owner in the healthcare industry. How do I combat the business politics from clients and competitors? I can also use a mentor if available! Thanks.
I'd need to hear some examples of the politics you're encountering before I can give you a good answer. I'd be happy to help you with those issues with a quick phone call and also discuss mentoring. Please send an email with your availability for a call to brian@goodwolfpartners.net. Thanks.
Thanks for the detailed tips. I’m helping small businesses myself with their online marketing efforts using short (fun) videos that draw attention and was wondering whether we can cooperate together.
+Ciryl Lyrics Thanks Ciryl. I appreciate it. If you know anyone starting a business or thinking about it, please invite them to visit my website for easy access to information and advice that will help them get started successfully. BusinessStartupSystems.net
+Ciryl Lyrics Perfect. Please visit the site, sign up for the newsletter and let me know what you think. New content will be added regularly. And, well be starting webinars very soon. My contact information is on the site.
It depends on who yu talk to. According to the US Small Business Administration any business with up $35.5MM in sales and 1500 employees is a small business. Most of the businesses I've worked with over the years have been 200 employees or less. That said, every division, department and team within a larger organization is a small business serving internal and external customers.
I'm making my buisnes dedicated to crystal jewerly and trippy/psychedelic art! I really hope it goes well and I already found out Legalization, and taxes. All I really need to get all of that stuff done and launch!
In the first few years, when I'm just struggling to get by (I'm still working a full-time job), do I need a CPA, and if not, what do I need to do /how do I keep up best with expense receipts etc. ?
+Patricia Justice If you're struggling, there's no need for the added expense of a CPA right now. Keep your check register up to date and detailed. Make notes on your expense receipts and put them in a file. ASAP after the end of the year go through your check register and your expense receipts file, categorize the information, and then decide if you need help with your taxes. As your business income and the complexities of your business increase you can evaluate the need for a CPA. All the best.
+Brian Silverthorn Thanks, Brian. I have receipts, and I have Paypal debit card payments that show up in my email box. Keeping track is the challenge...

Hi MD. I need to know about your business before I can answer your question. Please contact me at goodwolfpartners@gmail.com and we'll find a time to talk.
Hey Brian! I am about to acquire an engineering degree and the thought of owning my own business has always appealed to me. Problem is I have zero business knowledge so what do you recommend my first step should be after I get a business idea? Where should I go to learn the basics?
The self-serving answer is to become a member of my website once I finish the redo this week. Other than that, there are plenty of books that discuss the basics - choosing the right business for you, determining the potential of the market, determining how you'll approach the market, figuring out how you'll fund your business until it becomes profitable, choosing the right people to help, deciding on the most beneficial structure, etc. That being said, the real key is implementing your decisions & strategies effectively. This all sounds pretty daunting. And, given that the failure rate of new businesses in about 95% in the first three to five years, there are a lot of well intended people who don't make it. The best thing you can do is find someone with experience & knowledge that you're comfortable with and have confidence in to go to for feedback & advice when you need it. I wish you the best.
I'd love to give you tips regarding the 3 issues you mention, but I can't get the video link to work. When you have the time, send me the link at my email address shown on the site or on my small business uprising website.
Money is always a challenge. If you don't have any or your own, you have to persuade others to invest in your business either as an equity partner or a lender.
Smart people with different skills and talents working together to achieve the same purpose is as good as it gets. All the best.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I appreciate it.
I would love to run a business I just don't know where to start
Find a way to provide products and/or services doing something you enjoy and can do well that people will pay for. Ask business owners who have a business that would interest you how they got started. Most are willing to help you, but you won't know until you ask.
This is a brilliant ideas, this will help me to improve the business that I was started two years ago
Thank you. I'm happy that you think it will help. I wish you the best.

Thant's an excellent quote! Best wishes towards your future development
Well done
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
Message still great after even 10 years
Thank you. The basic principles of business don't change. There are, however, great changes in technology and innovation that, used correctly, can speed the growth and success of a business.
Brian stated that he believes the keys to starting and growing a successful business are fundamentally broken down into Efficient Operations, Increasing Profits, Growth, and Quick Response To The Market. In my opinion, I think that he’s pointing out the fact that you must engineer systems for your business before you start it. Not to take away from what Brian is teaching you, but another business expert that you should check out is Robert Kiyosaki and his Rich Dad series because he goes into extreme detail about business systems. You could combine Robert’s teachings with that of Brian.
Best Local Businesses In Thanks for including me in the same sentence as Robert Kiyosaki. I'm honored. His books are a great resource for business knowledge.
Thank you this really helped
You're welcome. I'm glad it was helpful.
Love 💖💖💖💖

How do i run a small pizza business ?
Don't, run as a pizza delivery boy first
@Adithya Nair 😂
Lovely analysis bro!!
Thanks for the kind comment. I appreciate it.
Opportunity lets you put your foot inside the door of success, but it doesn’t break the door down for you.
Great tips. Thanks for the effort.
I would love to get some consulting, I have a very small health center that I opened and it’s more successful than I thought it would be and I don’t really know where to turn. How to hire employees properly and manage the money.
Hi Yana, I'd be happy to schedule a call to learn more about your business and determine if I can help. Please contact me at briansilverthorn@att.net. Thanks.
Thanks DrippyHippyLlc really appreciates this video 🤙🏽🏄♂️!
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Does anyone have tips on how to run a successful catering business?
that is not very difficult
Thank you for sharing this Mr BrianSilverthorn. We do agree that employee's always the number one. Now there's something I'll like to know from your perspective: Do you think that it is better to be paying our employee a monthly fixed salary or to give them incentives/commission by percentage in driving them to work for a common goal?
+Verse Monct It depends on the type of business and the position an employee occupies. The challenge is to find an objective, track-able result to tie the incentive/commission to.
It's relatively easy for sales people. Commissions can be based on dollar volume or units sold, for example.
The best way to get high performance and high productivity from employees is to be very thorough and very careful in the hiring process.
Thank you Mr Silverthorn for the Advice ~ Really appreciate it.
+Verse Monct
Past successful experience in a job of some kind is also key.
+Mary Skyers (Researcher) Agreed Mary. Verifiable successful results in the past should always be considered.
Would you say it's better to start by working and managing a small business, gain a good amount of experience before starting your own? I plan on starting and building a very successful Homecare / Nursing Asst Schl/business very soon. Thanks for the lesson.
That's how it worked for me. I was the general manager for a small business before starting my own business. You don't have to start as an employee, but it's a great way to gain experience.
I have a new eGuide coming out very soon that will help when you start your own business, I'll be posting a video about it by the end of the week.
Thank you so much for your kindness in helping others by sharing your knowledge. I am from a different country with no family here and I am glad to say that the journey was not easy, but I was finally able to accomplished having my own small business... I know it doesn’t make me a billionaire. However, it makes me happy too inspiring others to dream and act in order to achieve their goals. Thank you, I love your video.
Thank you for your kind words. And, congratulations on starting your business. It's people like you who drive the economy and provide for others in many ways.
Thank you for sharing your best to as.
I'm planning to start a small restaurant business, please help me with a starting ideas.
Please, I will be appreciate to have your reply.
Epic video upload.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Where is the safest place to start up a small business at this point?(like a bar)
I'm not sure what you mean by safest. Crime free? Lot's of potential clients so the risk of failure is low making it a safe investment? A lot of things need to be considered. I wish I had a good answer for you.
@@brian_silverthorn Sorry I didn't really specify...like I live in San Francisco, and it's gotten very difficult for small business owners due to street crime. I'm trying to understand if there are safer(from a physical wellness perspective) places to try to run a small business from than here.
@@thefartstarver35 I don't know your business, but anyplace that has the population needed to support your business and a low crime rate. If you want to stay in California, you may have to move to a safer town. Many folks I know have moved their jobs or their businesses to different states. You have a tough decision to make. I wish you the best.
Hello,
I’m a small business owner in the healthcare industry. How do I combat the business politics from clients and competitors? I can also use a mentor if available! Thanks.
I'd need to hear some examples of the politics you're encountering before I can give you a good answer. I'd be happy to help you with those issues with a quick phone call and also discuss mentoring. Please send an email with your availability for a call to brian@goodwolfpartners.net. Thanks.
Thanks for the detailed tips. I’m helping small businesses myself with their online marketing efforts using short (fun) videos that draw attention and was wondering whether we can cooperate together.
Very nice video
Thanks for posting

What qualifies as a small business? How many employees?
It depends on who yu talk to. According to the US Small Business Administration any business with up $35.5MM in sales and 1500 employees is a small business. Most of the businesses I've worked with over the years have been 200 employees or less.
That said, every division, department and team within a larger organization is a small business serving internal and external customers.
I'm making my buisnes dedicated to crystal jewerly and trippy/psychedelic art! I really hope it goes well and I already found out Legalization, and taxes. All I really need to get all of that stuff done and launch!
Congrats on your business. I hope it goes well.

In the first few years, when I'm just struggling to get by (I'm still working a full-time job), do I need a CPA, and if not, what do I need to do /how do I keep up best with expense receipts etc. ?
+Patricia Justice If you're struggling, there's no need for the added expense of a CPA right now. Keep your check register up to date and detailed. Make notes on your expense receipts and put them in a file. ASAP after the end of the year go through your check register and your expense receipts file, categorize the information, and then decide if you need help with your taxes. As your business income and the complexities of your business increase you can evaluate the need for a CPA. All the best.
+Brian Silverthorn
Thanks, Brian. I have receipts, and I have Paypal debit card payments that show up in my email box. Keeping track is the challenge...
Good info-thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
running a small and medium sized company, how do you start the international business?
August 26th: Women’s Equality Day.
Make a business plan for your home business. Put your talents and skills together and generate business ideas. Opening a small business can give you a more flexible lifestyle, especially if you start a small business at home.
Hi, my business is more on marketing and networking, what best advise you can give me
Hi MD. I need to know about your business before I can answer your question. Please contact me at goodwolfpartners@gmail.com and we'll find a time to talk.
Hey Brian! I am about to acquire an engineering degree and the thought of owning my own business has always appealed to me. Problem is I have zero business knowledge so what do you recommend my first step should be after I get a business idea? Where should I go to learn the basics?
The self-serving answer is to become a member of my website once I finish the redo this week. Other than that, there are plenty of books that discuss the basics - choosing the right business for you, determining the potential of the market, determining how you'll approach the market, figuring out how you'll fund your business until it becomes profitable, choosing the right people to help, deciding on the most beneficial structure, etc.
That being said, the real key is implementing your decisions & strategies effectively. This all sounds pretty daunting. And, given that the failure rate of new businesses in about 95% in the first three to five years, there are a lot of well intended people who don't make it.
The best thing you can do is find someone with experience & knowledge that you're comfortable with and have confidence in to go to for feedback & advice when you need it.
I wish you the best.
I'd love to give you tips regarding the 3 issues you mention, but I can't get the video link to work. When you have the time, send me the link at my email address shown on the site or on my small business uprising website.
it is great thanks so much
I'm happy you enjoyed the videos. I hope they help you achieve the success you want in business.
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
thank You sir
You're very welcome.
I know a skincare business but each time I find myself lacking funds to make products for sale. Please what do I do
Money is always a challenge. If you don't have any or your own, you have to persuade others to invest in your business either as an equity partner or a lender.
