“Ultrapreneurs Unplugged – What They Don’t Tell You About Building A Successful Micro Business”

Do you run your own business – and could you learn a thing or two from your counterparts who have been there, done that and bought the t-shirt?
I undertook a survey of Entrepreneurs and small business owners, which has highlighted 25 key areas most businesses struggle with. These range from getting to grips with social media, cash flow problems, leadership challenges, time management, networking and sales. The results of the survey I have incorporated into a new e-book “Ultrapreneurs Unplugged – What They Don’t Tell You About Building A Successful Micro Business”
With the UK economy still in the grip of recession, more people are dipping their toes into entrepreneurial waters.
Small and Micro businesses are the lifeblood of the UK economy. The UK’s 3.7 million SMEs account for approximately 40% of our GDP and have an annual turnover of one trillion pounds. Mostly formed by individuals who initially set up a business from their spare bedroom or garage. However, this isn’t without its challenges, particularly for individuals who’ve left the corporate ladder, were made redundant, or budding ‘mumpreneurs’.
Some joined the ranks of the self employed later in life. Some left University because they didn’t warm to the idea of being an employee, or preferred self employment because they wanted the freedom to create their own destiny. They took this path because they didn’t fancy the alternatives – e.g. living on a meagre pension, settling for a mediocre lifestyle or compromising on their values.
However, some had little or no experience of running a business before they started, and found the journey very complex – against the relentless pace of change – despite being an exciting and liberating experience.
Of course you might not need this information and are quite happy with the strategy that you’re using already. You might not have the time to explore everything that’s contained within my new e-book called “Ultrapreneurs Unplugged – What They Don’t Tell You About Building A Successful Micro Business”.
But then again, if you’re the kind of person who’s willing to sit up and take notice of what’s going on around you, learn from other peoples mistakes and borrow some strategies from some very successful people, then you would do well to take a look at this bumper e-book packed with over 200 insights taken from the survey.
I also interviewed four successful entrepreneurs who share their experiences, including Philip Hess of Senz who even went as far as jumping out of an aeroplane to test one of his products!
I am keen to demonstrate that in fact many of the challenges faced by owners of Micro businesses are common – and and such should provide a bit of a shot in the arm for anyone currently finding the journey a challenge.
The results of my survey could become an invaluable resource for anyone either considering making the move to self employment, or who has been on this journey for some time and would like a ‘fly on the wall’ look at what their counterparts are doing, borrow some of their strategies and learn a few new ones.
