I am not a businessman but I think lack complete knowledge on how to run the business, poor management and lack of good manpower can contribute to its downfall.

I think you hit it on the head with poor planning. You need to know where your business is headed before you even get it off the ground. Without solid planning it won't go anywhere. You also need people with vision who will work with you to make the business a success. If you read about the top businesses today and how they got where they are, I think you will see those two points in the top positions of a good business model.

It is always cash flow. Sometimes a business grows too big and too fast, and there is not enough money to pay for the goods. I think when a business is small, and the suppliers do not extend credit, that is a killer.

short term planning and not paying attention to the needs and initiatives of the workforce is fatal to a business

patience is very necessary when we are tying to run a business....there is time when you are in big losses but you should keep trying and start looking the same business with new startegies
