Running and managing a business comes with many diverse risks. The challenges vary depending on the industry or particular sector you are in, but all have the potential to cause damage or even destroy the business. Most business experts will call for an assessment of the potential risks before venturing into a business. However, it’s never possible to plan for all future eventualities. Some risks can be unanticipated, therefore demanding a quick response to survive.

He describes managing a business as an iterative process. New challenges and opportunities will always present themselves at every turn. It’s best if you don’t rush to make key decisions that will affect your business operations.
