Top 10 Reasons Small Businesses Fail: A Real-World Business Survival Guide from Dr. Paul’s Fabled Forest

By Dr. Paul Borosky, MBA

🔍 Why do passionate entrepreneurs still fail?
Because passion without structure leads to burnout—and that's where this book begins.

Blending real-world business strategy with imaginative storytelling, Top 10 Reasons Small Businesses Fail offers a refreshing, easy-to-digest guide for small business owners, startup founders, and aspiring entrepreneurs. Through the lens of forest-based fables, Dr. Paul Borosky—business consultant and creator of the Organize-Plan-Grow™ Strategy—introduces readers to 10 lovable (and occasionally chaotic) animal characters, each facing a critical business mistake.

From Beatrix the Bee who runs her business from memory, to Commander Colt the overburdened stallion running on fumes, these stories reflect the real-life traps small businesses fall into:

✅ No operations structure
✅ Missing business strategy
✅ Burnout from doing it all
✅ Poor marketing and no niche
✅ Cash mismanagement
…and more.

Each chapter ends with Doctor Owl’s Wise Words of Wisdom, practical reflection questions, and real business insights designed to help readers:

• Organize their operations

• Create focused growth strategies

• Build sustainable, profitable companies

Whether you're just starting out or feeling stuck in survival mode, this book will help you step back, regroup, and grow with purpose.
