Small businesses often face a host of challenges, with “cash flow issues” being chief among them. Oftentimes one person or a family is ultimately responsible for how much money a small business does or does not have to spend on things like equipment and advertising. Therefore, budgeting is critical.

Besides money, there’s the issue of tiredness. Because it’s one person or just a handful of people responsible for running the small business, it’s easy to become tired because there’s just too much to do and not enough hours in the day to do it all. If a small business owner doesn’t pace him/herself, he/she can get burnt out easily. When that happens, the whole business can fail because there simply isn’t the energy to maintain it.

Next, a small business sometimes has a hard time finding and keeping its customers. Bigger companies have both people and money that can help them thrive with big accounts bringing in big money. Small businesses, however, have to work harder to attract customers. Once they get a steady stream of customers, then they have to maintain contact with them as communication is key. Things like phone calls and emails help do this, as well as face-to-face interactions. Small businesses don’t want to be forgotten but they also don’t want to annoy people, either, by trying too hard to impress others.

Also, sometimes small business owners may have a difficult time motivating employees who don’t like their hours, don’t like their paycheck, and/or don’t like customers!

Finally, small businesses often worry about having more bills than profits.
