“It was the first time in business that I felt real shame,” he says. “I couldn’t pay bills, I couldn’t pay staff, family and
friends who had invested in me and the business lost huge amounts of money and it was all because of me. It was the first time in my life where I just couldn’t find a way to come
up with a second plan. There was this thing that was beyond my control that I couldn’t fix – and it just broke me.”

I’ll start cheap make sure I… cover my cost don’t have to take huge risks…. uhm… one thing I’m sure about my
experience… never take any risk if you can help it… it is just the opposite of what most people think about….

“Back when I launched eBay on Labour Day 1995, eBay wasn’t my business – it was my hobby. I had to build a system that
was self-sustaining… …because I had a real job to go to every morning. I was working as a software engineer from 10 to 7,
and I wanted to have a life on the weekends. So I built a system that could keep working – catching complaints and
capturing feedback – even when Pam and I were out mountain-biking, and the only one home was our cat.

Having lost my business so suddenly, I was now
setting up a licensing base and succeeding in
spreading my risk across a number of products,
licensees and manufacturers. We have the brands,
they have the factories. With this licensing model,
we find the best manufacturers and negotiate a
win/win partnership with them – I provide the
product ideas and brand knowledge and they
produce products they are already successful at
making, but under our brand. Together we have a
thriving business.

With the benefit of hindsight, I know now that back
in 2001 the business I had built was hugely
exposed to external risks. Today, I would not
employ that many people. I would not make and
distribute so many diverse products from just one
facility. It makes far more sense to outsource
production to manufacturing and distribution
experts who have all the expertise and channels in
place. I would, and do, take forward cover on any
international forex importing and exporting we do.
I keep overheads to an absolute minimum and
maintain tight control over all financial aspects of
the business.

Do everything you can to lower the risk of failure
and protect yourself if you fail.
![Page 46: ECRDA: Loan officer training - Session 4](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020208/55a792941a28ab24478b489a/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
I always go into a deal anticipating the worst. If you plan for the worst—if you can live with the worst—the good will always take care of itself.
