Australian Business Podcast is back on the airwaves and this time. Owen Rask is joined on The Australian Business Podcast by accounting experts Jordan Kidis & Danil Goloubev from Grey Space Advisory to share the 6 things you should know about running a business -- before you start. Here are the 6 things Owen, Danil & Jordan have identified: Be ready to be switched on 24/7 Your best ideas come at the most random times. Whether working on the business or taking customer calls 24/7. It can be a very lonely road Business plans can change, unexpectedly, and only you will 'get it'. Co-founders can help. So too is writing to yourself. Wearing all the hats becomes impossible at a certain stage How did you know? You start leaving things out and putting them to the side “I’ll do it tomorrow” then tomorrow never comes -- it's endless cycle. For Danil & Jordan it was marketing. Be ready to make fast decisions and pivot quickly Your business is often wrong. Things get in the way of bold ideas. Find ways to adapt. It's a marathon and not a sprint Make your business anti-fragile, and focus on survival. To finish first, you must first finish. Surround yourself with like-minded people While having good people around you sounds lovely, always have one or two people who will challenge you. This is healthy.
