The Best Time to Start Your Own Business…

  • … is when you have to because you can’t stand not starting it. It’s been on your mind, you’re sure it will work.
  • … was actually years ago; but the second best time is now.
  • … is when you’ve thought it through, you know the risks, and you have a good realistic sense of challenges, keys to success, and likelihood of failure.
  • … is when you’re comfortable with your estimates of starting costs, sales, costs, and expenses. They feel like they are reasonable educated guesses.
  • … is when your spouse or significant other says “do it” and not “don’t do it.” Businesses fail and it’s not always something you did or didn’t do. Will failing at your own business kill important relationships?
  • … is when you gather up the money your business plan says you need to be able to start.

Don’t worry too much about the larger economic, employment, and socio-economic trends. Your business depends on what you do.

Green funding cuts make Holden see red

Holden says cuts to green funding have made Australian manufacturing less attractive. Photo: David Mariuz

THE Holden Commodore’s future as an Australian-made car appears safe for now, but the company says funding cuts have hurt the business case for its other locally made car.

Managing director Mike Devereux yesterday warned that Holden would not have opted to make the smaller Cruze model in Australia without help from the now-defunct Green Car Innovation Fund. Holden received $149 million in government money to make the Cruze in 2008, and the company will decide whether to build the next generation model in the next year or so.

After receiving $40 million last month for a more fuel-efficient Commodore, the company is demanding more taxpayer support after $800 million was slashed from the green car fund earlier this year.

The comments came as Industry Minister Kim Carr met executives from auto giants General Motors and Ford in the United States.

Mr Devereux denied Holden was looking for a ”handout”, but said cuts to funding had made Australia less attractive.

Heavy Construction Spending Declined 0.4% in April

Written by Charlotte Sani on 27 Jun 2011

Heavy construction spending declined 0.4% in April, the fifth consecutive month to month drop. A large gain in power construction spending prevented the April decline from pushing over 1%. The gain in power construction is off trend with the expected slipping of power construction activity through 2012 as federal subsidies are cut sharply. Overall, heavy spending is expected to be sluggish through 2012 but will recover to the 2009 level next year. Congress appears committed to maintain but not to increase highway funding through 2012. Average growth in the private economy has set off recovery in the communications market and will initiate recovery in the water and sewer market early in 2012.

Heavy construction spending is forecast to decline 2.7% in 2011 and then rise 4.0% in 2012.
