Before getting started in business you must do research and really understand what product or service you want to offer. In order to sustain long-term success in your business you must be prepared to remain hands on and get to know every aspect of the business from the inside out.
"There is only one boss. The customer. He can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else." When Sam Walton said this he clearly understood that in knowing your business you also had to know your customer. So remember knowledge is power and the more you know it helps you to make better decisions in growing your business.
So here are a few tips in starting your business that will assure that you are going in the right direction:
#1. Write a business plan -This will help you map out how you will start and run your business.
#2. Finance your business- There are many ways to get money to start a business. No excuses if you want it bad enough you will get it .Also there are several programs to assist start up companies.
#3. Decide the legal structure of your business- research the form of ownership is best for you : LLC,corporation,S corp.,non-profit ect.
#4. Understand your employer responsibilities - learn the step on how to hire employees.
No one said it would be easy but at the end of the day it is very rewarding. In the beginning you had a vision in fact you dreamed about it but along with that vision you must have a plan and a clear understanding of what you are about to get into. In other words I was once told "A vision without action is just a dream and action with vision is a nightmare."
