Why do some entrepreneurs feel entitled?

I’m not sure why, but TechCrunch thought this blog post was worthy enough to make it as a guest post. Azeem Azhar, the author, who I don’t know, complains about the necessity of filling in tax and VAT returns. My response is, get a bookkeeper and an accountant and focus on your business, instead of spending the time writing about not having time to perform such important tasks when running a business. To summarise, get on with it and stop complaining.

Most businesses go bust as a result of not managing cash-flow. My advice is to stay on top of your balance sheet and pay attention to tax returns to ensure you have enough in the kitty at the end of your financial year.

Here’s a blog post I wrote on the subject - the title says it all Entrepreneurs are not entitled to anything

Entrepreneurs in the slums of India don’t think they’re entitled to anything. They just get on with it.

    Though how a “entrepreneur that finds working out 17% ever got funding I dont know sounds like a wanabee funded by pappa to me.

    Its not often that agree with Alan Sugger about how a lot of the small businesses that perpetualy complaine realy nead is an insolvancy practitioner.

    Hi Paul,

    Have you deleted your Twitter account? It looks like you have. Are you using Wubud instead?
