Why This Guide Exists
Do you know your number?
Most small businesses do not fail because of bad products or poor service. They fail because the owner never knew exactly how many sales they needed to cover their costs — and by the time they found out, it was too late.
Set prices based on what felt reasonable — not what the numbers required
No idea how many sales they needed each month to break even
Ran out of cash before finding enough customers
Priced too low to compete — then discovered they were losing money on every sale
No plan for the gap between launch and break-even
Scaled too fast before proving the model works at small volume
