Top 100 Businessman - Jeff Haden Share His Best Advice - 21

Jeff is a ghostwriter, speaker, LinkedIn Influencer and contributing editor to Inc. He worked his way up to managing a 250-employee book plant and has become a sought-after ghostwriter for the world's top business leaders. He's written more than 50 books, including six Amazon Business and Investing No. 1's. He's collected four years of business advice in his most recent book, TransForm: Dramatically Improve Your Career, Business, Relationships, and Life ... One Simple Step at a Time. Here's his best piece of business advice to aspiring entrepreneurs who want to start a business of their own:

"Never forget that your business needs to take in more money than it spends. I know that sounds too simple, but so many people lose sight of that. That’s also why so many first-time entrepreneurs over-invest (or spend so much of their time looking for investors) early on."

"Create solutions that cost little to no money & always spend less than you make." @jeff_haden


"Instead, work to come up with a creative solution that costs little to no money. That forced discipline will help you spend less than you make, even when you’re not making a lot. Sometimes capital is necessary, but at some point there must be return on that capital. There’s nothing wrong with taking equity investment, investing for the future, even losing money for a few years. But your plan has to get you back to that simple equation of making more than you spend."

Here's what Jason has to share with aspiring entrepreneurs who need some business advice before they start a business: "The most painful mistake I see first-time entrepreneurs make is that they don't count the cost or figure out how they'll actually make money ahead of time. Since entrepreneurs don't create a business as a 'charitable deed to mankind,' they need to think about where their revenue and profit will be once the business scales." "If you want to succeed in business, count your costs and project revenue ahead of time." @jdquey "For example, when I launched the Content Promotion Summit with my partner Cody Lister, we started off by focusing on three th...
