I have been reading The Perspective online for many years and this is the first time that I felt a need to comment on an article. The article, “Why many Liberian-owned businesses fail: A first person account” is one of the best pieces of work that the Perspective has ever published. I am an American female with a husband who has recently started a business in Liberia. If my husband would use this article as his Business Bible along with the Holy Bible, I know that my husband, our family and the business will do nothing but prosper. The writer of this article needs to compile all of this information into a book for all business owners, not just Liberians. I have seen a lot of businesses fail because of breaking some of the principles mentioned in the article. All business owners all over the world should applaud Mr. Doe for this article. I would love to speak with Mr. Doe to thank him personally for addressing almost all the problems that new and old business owners all over the world face.

Sincerely,

The Wife of A New Liberian Business Owner
