    3. Surviving Your First Year in Business

    10 Takeaways from Our First Year in Business! There is no perfect time to start a business Always have a lawyer to hand Half of the battle is simply showing up and being okay with feeling like you have no idea what you’re doing. Set up your bookkeeping/accounting system properly (have a qualified accountant to hand). Hire slow, fire fast. Have your calendar organized and split everything up. Be ruthless about what you commit your time and energy to. Outsource whatever isn’t in your zone of genius or isn’t generating revenue. Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business but only accept clients that are the right fit.
