Budgeting is an important aspect of business planning whether the business is a start-up or operational. It is a process of making a plan of future income and expenses, capital expenditures and cash requirements over a period of time, generally within a 12-month period.

How To Analyze Potential Business Opportunities
Tuesday Mar 14, 2017
Tuesday Mar 14, 2017

However sometimes we tend to spread ourselves too thin by saying yes to almost anything and everything.
Opportunities come and go and when you've come across a potential one, it's important to go through these points before coming to a final decision.

Partnerships may at times be harmful to a small business, but if approached wisely it can turn into a key contributor to the success of a business.

Negotiating - Part 1, gives an overview of the interest-based negotiation model by Fisher, Ury & Patton. It starts with preparation, including knowing alternatives so that one is not too soft or too hard, knowing how to separate people from the problem, staying firm on interests but flexible on positions, and engaging in brainstorming options for mutual gain.
Negotiating - Part 2 explains the one other principle: Use objective criteria. That is when negotiators differ on their idea of fairness, or truth, rather than have a subjective argument they rely on more objective sources.
