I just passed through my childhood neighbourhood and I saw the arts studio that was existing in the neighborhood since I lived there over 20 years ago. I was shocked to see the business still in existence.

What's the secret that can make a business to survive for over two decades?

Businesses don't just survive years because they want to. It takes work. They surely had downtimes but they never got distracted by those downtimes.

I know of an animal feeds shop that has been running for 30 years now and is a mega brand. Hope the kids of the founder won't run it down when he is gone.

It's mostly about hard work and consistency. Am pretty sure there where hard times for the business owner, but he was still consistent. Ensuring quality services while being consistent is also another key.

If those businesses tell you the kind of challenges they faced from different quarters, you just won't want to imagine. But it is all about being resilient.

There are certain businesses that can survive for a really long time. The reason why they survives is due to the fact that they usually sell product people like to buy.

Understanding the vision of the business to be long term and taking all the pains with that goal in mind is the key to businesses that survive for that long.
