In this particular podcast, I want to share some of my experiences with you. Sure, different entrepreneurs have different takes on things and different entrepreneurs have different orders. That's fine. The benefit of listening to podcasts like this, listen to other great speakers out there, is you get different perspectives on things. We encourage that. That's awesome. From our point of view, there's really five fundamental areas that you need to be conversant with if you're going to be successful as an entrepreneur.

If you're weak in any of these areas, this is going to have an impact on your results. It means you're going to be more reliant on others to help you navigate your path. If your team's established or it's a fairly early start, it can be risky. You won't be a pro overnight. You won't be a pro in all areas straight away. Knowledgeable and having a core understanding of these five areas will really help you make informed decisions in your business and help you understand what impact the decisions you are making, what are you making in your business.

Without further ado, let's break these five categories down in summary form. Number one, straight out of the gate guys, is finance. Number two, operations, your systems and your processes. Number three, people. Human resources we need to get delivered out there. Number four Sales and marketing to bring in the revenue. Number five Corporate governance, managing the business correctly and in line and adopting good policies.
