Businesses come in different shapes and sizes but all share one thing in common. There is a start and an end of the journey for every business owner and possibly for the business as well. Along the way there are a few phases that every business will go through. No matter where you are in the lifecycle of your business, make sure you sit down to plan for the future and learn from the past experiences of those who have gone before you. The good, the bad and the ugly.
