In a word ‘buoyant’ – we continue to see the entrepreneurial outlook as very positive.
The timing in starting a new venture is always critical however with in-depth planning and the appropriate local market research most of the timing issues can be eliminated. Local planning based on the local economy is often as much of a necessary process as dealing with the national economy or even the world situation.
Entrepreneurs start businesses usually on a very local basis, naturally with a view to growing to a global status. However, that takes time and further planning, it is important to get the groundwork complete for the initial phase and then to move forward from that foundation. Business start-ups continue to be strong and provide a firm indicator that the climate is positive for new business opportunities.

With proper planning every entrepreneur will readily come to realize that the exercise of planning is all about dealing with potential unforeseen hurdles that are not always factored into the plan. An astute business person will always build a plan with contingencies for unknown issues and events over which they as an individual entrepreneur have little or no control. Even if your business faces such hurdles that are beyond your control you should at least have a plan that will show you how to circumnavigate the issues.

Just because the entrepreneurial outlook is positive and buoyant it does not create a license to ‘jump into business’. Every start-up requires the appropriate planning and without a written plan success may not be assured. Plan for all of the things that you know as you create your new venture and then add suitable contingencies on the off chance that this element or that element does not work out as planned. Planning is always going to be the key and a major component in any business start-up and success.
