Ask anyone how long they think they will live. In most cases, you will get an answer. And the answer will generally be a very specific number. Sometimes this is based on a desire, or a family history, but somehow, imprinted in all of our brains, is a mortality timeframe.
Excuse Me, Does Size Matter?
I deal a lot with entrepreneurs, both ones starting a new business and those whose business is already operating. Quite often, these entrepreneurs are operating what would be termed a very small business. These enterprises are designed essentially to support or provide additional funds for the founder and perhaps her family.
