Being a new start up business venture I often wonder about the sacrifices, long hours and stress that business owners go through to get their businesses up and running. Especially now, during these uneconomic times.

Lots of family and friends tell me that it could be up to 2 years before a business starts becoming profitable. Everything made gets poured back into the business to help it grow. And at the end of the day it doesn’t leave much for anything else.

I have alway been a frugal person anyway, so going without hasn’t been a drama for me. I don’t go without necessities, but everything else I’m willing to fore go without a second thought. All comes back to the big picture doesn’t it? At the moment I would find it very difficult to go on a holiday when those funds could purchase new equipment that could help out my customers.

I don’t watch every cent, but I do have a number of excel spreadsheets that do!

So what is a new start up business ventures best friend?

Baked Beans.
