https://www.createspace.com/7630304BUSINESS STARTUP STEPS (by Darlinton Omeh)1. Identify The Business to Start
There are so many needs around, but you are to solve a particular one
and not all. You what it takes to solve someone`s problems right inside
of you. You need to discover it. What do you have passion for? Chances
are that what you have passion for is your core area of competence.
What is it that happens around you, which you hate and wish you could
change. Indeed you can.
Take some time and think back to your childhood days. There is
something about you that people commended you for. You did those things
naturally without stress. In fact you didn’t even know it until people
began to talk about it. It is possible you observed it yourself but you
did not give it a thought.
That talent can be converted into cash. Someone said money is a
reward for problem solved. Present what you have to the world and you
will be paid for it. It is important you build your business in this
area. The normal business challenge that confronts every business man
will surely show up. It is your passion that will sustain you. When I
was growing up writing was part of my life. I would write anything that
comes to my mind. Today I still enjoy writing.
2. Get Trained. You need to learn how to find a need.
· How to meet that need with what you have.
· Know the strategy to attract potential customer.
The process you go through to acquire the skills is known as training.
How do you receive this training?
1. Meet successful people in that area of your interest. Look very
well there are always people around you to give you the necessary
training. Get a mentor. Reading is a form of training, but do you know
one thing? You can receive knowledge from books but you may not receive
counsel and follow-up from books. Therefore a mentor is inevitable.
2. Read wide. The benefit of reading can not be overemphasized. The
knowledge someone else has acquired through a hard experience of 20yrs
can be transferred to you within hours or days. This is very possible if
you can read. If you have a bad reading culture begin to work on
yourself. Start with little news letters. Begin to download free e books
of about 10-15 pages. Discipline yourself to read everyday.
3. Be Humble
Make up your mind to start low. A humble beginning is always the best
beginning. Even if you have an idea there is still a lot to learn.
Great things don`t usually start in a great way. Sometimes the right
environment for your success will seem to be hostile at the first time. I
don`t know how and why it is so but this is my observation. What to do
is to stay until you receive all the necessary training needed to stand
on your ground. Champions do what they don`t like to get what they
want.
4. Create a Website
This is your presence on the internet. When you have a website, your
business is open to the world 24/7. You simply can’t do without a
website because internet is growing at such great pace, that if you
don’t have a website, so many opportunities and potentials will pass you
by
5. Source For Capital
A capital is an asset that is available and could be used to produce
other assets. To raise a financial capital for your business you must
have integrity.
Personal saving is a good option for those in a paid job. If you are
an applicant family and friends could be a good source of fund. People
are more confident to lend out money to someone who has a source of
income than the jobless.
Money is not the only capital you need for a business. It may seem as your major need anyway. Time is a capital. Use your time to carry out research. You can create and multiply other capitals by using your time effectively.
Your experience in life is a capital. Take a moment to consider your
past life experiences whether good or bad. There is something in it for
you that could be useful as you plan to step into a business.”
