IF you're planning to start a business this year ...

1. Start networking now

Build valuable relationships and connections in your industry

• Go to meetups
• Attend conferences
• Build an audience on Twitter, Facebook etc
• Make connections on LinkedIn 2. Start saving

30% of businesses fail in the first 2 years.

Make sure you have at least 3 months of savings.

This allows you to turn down projects that are a poor fit.

Set yourself a savings goal and create a budget

Men do suffer from depression. I resigned from my government job of 15yrs, invested pension money in four business that failed, got divorced after a 20 year relationship and that triggered my depression that was traced back to my childhood. I do relapse and still attend therapy. Guys it is noble to get help, we are living in difficult times, there is an expectation that men should do well irrespective of the economic conditions worsened by the pandemic. Many guys are struggling and dying inside. There is nothing to be ashamed of, get help 🙏🙏🙏
