Lange, multinational corporations may be the companies whose ups and downs seize headlines. (71) But to a far greater extent than most Americans realize, the economy’s vitality depends on the fortunes of tiny shops and restaurants, neighborhood services and are factories. Small businesses, defined as those with fewer than 100workers,now employ 60 percent of the workforce and expected to generate half of all new jobs between now and the year 2,000. Some 1.2 million small forms have opened their doors over the past 6 years of economic growth, and 1989 will see an additional 200,000 entrepreneurs striking off on their own.
Too many of these pioneers, however, will blaze ahead unprepared. Idealists will overestimate the clamor for their products or fail to factor in the competition. Nearly everyone will underestimate, often fatally .the capital that success requires. (72) Midcareer executives, forced by a takeover or a restructuring to quit the corporation and find another way to support themselves, may savor the idea of being their own boss but may forget that entrepreneurs must also. at least for a while, be bookkeepers and receptionists, too. According to Small Business Administration data, 24 of every 100 businesses starting out today are likely to disappear in two years, and 27 more will have shut their doors four years from now. By 1995, more than 60 of those 100 start-ups, 77 percent of the companies surveyed were still alive. (73) Most credited their success in large part to having picked a business they already were comfortable in Eighty percent had worked with the same product or service in their last jobs.
Thinking through an enterprise before the launch is obviously critical. But many entrepreneurs forget that a firm’s health in its infancy may be little indication of how well it will age .you must tenderly monitor its pulse, in their zeal, to expand. Small business owners often ignore early warning signs of a stagnant market or of decaying profitability. (74) They hopefully pour more and more into the enterprise, preferring not to acknowledge eroding profit margins that means the market for their ingenious service or product has evaporated, or that they must cut the payroll or vacate their lavish offices. Only when the financial well runs dry do they see the seriousness of the illness, and by then the patient is usually too far gone to save.
Frequent checks of your firm’s vital signs will also guide you to a sensible rate of growth. (75) To snatch opportunity, you must spot the signals that it is time to conquer the new markets, add products or perhaps franchise your hot ideas.
(71) 但是，絕大多數(shù)美國人沒有認(rèn)識到的是，國民經(jīng)濟(jì)的活力依賴于那些小型商店和飯館，以及街道公益事業(yè)和街道工廠的財(cái)富/命運(yùn)。
(72) 中層管理人員，因?yàn)楣颈徊①徎蛑亟M而被迫離開公司，并為了生計(jì)另找出路時，可能會欣賞自己做老板的念頭，但是也可能忘記了企業(yè)家也必須至少在某段時間內(nèi)也要做計(jì)帳員和接待員。
(73)大多數(shù)人把他們的成功歸結(jié)為他們選擇了他們在過去已經(jīng)熟練的行業(yè)。其中80%的人在過去的工作中就和同樣的產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)打過交道。
(74) 他們滿懷希望地不斷向企業(yè)投錢，不愿意承認(rèn)其利潤空間正在受到侵蝕，而這意味著他們富有創(chuàng)意的產(chǎn)品或服務(wù)市場已經(jīng)消失，或者，他們必須削減工資或者搬出奢華的辦公室。
(75) 為了抓住機(jī)會，你必須發(fā)現(xiàn)信號：該是占領(lǐng)新市場的時候了；該是增加產(chǎn)品類型的時候了；或者也許該是推銷你的“金點(diǎn)子”的時候了。
