Nine explosive tips for aspiring businessmen. Business idea - recycling used tires

Have you decided to start your own business, but feel hesitant? Are you afraid that you might not succeed, and see a huge number of obstacles? In 2013, according to research National Association for Innovation and Development information technologies , in Russia there was a decline in innovation activity: a decrease in the number of requests and proposals from innovators, a general drop in interest in innovative projects. Among 538 developers innovative projects out of 21 regions of the country, about 31% of the participants planned to change their activities to a permanent job in the real sector, and 13% have already left their projects. Such dynamics is reminiscent of similar processes in 2008–2009 that took place against the backdrop of the global crisis. Daniel Newnam, co-founder We Make Play and book author MedMenofMobile, based on her interviews with successful entrepreneurs, advises stocking up on optimism and confidence, and offers nine tips to help you launch successful project. Which of them are you ready to adopt?

1. Don't be afraid to share your idea with everyone

It is notorious that entrepreneurs are overly suspicious people. Do you think that someone will steal your idea if you openly discuss it, for example, on social networks? Not at all! Develop an idea that is hard to steal and surround yourself with trusted people. What matters is how you plan to bring your idea to life, not the idea itself.

The number of people who dare to launch their own startup is significantly less than the number of those who simply talk about their desire. And the thing is that there will always be such “wise men” among friends, relatives, colleagues who will want to moderate your ardor, advising: “You are too young / old”, “You have no experience at all” or “You have no money". Familiar? In reality, no one understands the situation better than you and is not able to assess possible risks. Trust your heart. Take a chance. And very soon you will understand what you are capable of: holding a tit in your hand or hunting for a crane.

3. Don't Delay Your Project Launch Date

Nothing motivates people more than a specific deadline for completing a project. If the implementation of your idea into reality takes an indefinite amount of time, then you will find hundreds of reasons to postpone this date even more. Remember: you cannot create something perfect all at once. But over time, you can refine your idea, for example, based on the wishes and feedback of customers.

4. Choose business partners responsibly

Evaluate your partners as meticulously as if you were choosing your husband / wife. After all, at first you will spend much more time with these people than with your family. Many unions of young entrepreneurs break up precisely because of interpersonal disagreements. Make sure even before the start of the project that the associates not only support your idea and are professionals in their field, but also that it is psychologically comfortable for you to work with these people. After all, the success of a business largely depends on the team. In this case, everyone should give all the best 100%.

5. Love your job with all your heart

If a person is madly passionate about his work, then the business has every chance of success. Such people think about their business day and night. And nothing matters to them. This drive will help the company survive in difficult times, of which there will certainly be many. As he once said Chris Barton, co-founder of the project Shazam“Perseverance is the main ingredient successful business. If you are not ready to do the impossible, then your chances are zero.”

6. Don't focus on money

All entrepreneurs with whom it was possible to communicate Daniel Newnam, say that when they opened their business, they did not even think about selling it. If you are not obsessed with your business and think only about money, everything is lost. You must want to work for your company happily ever after. Over time, you will be surrounded by dedicated people who know their business and are ready to help in difficult times. Enjoy your startup. You will definitely be able to create successful company which at first was just an idea.

7. Don't select employees based on the "smartest" principle alone.

Recruitment is a complex, time-consuming and expensive business for those who start their own startup. You need like-minded people who are willing to work overtime, sometimes for an idea, to get what you want. A red diploma is not always the key to success, but a person with charisma, to some extent an adventurer, is just the one you need. Over time, you will be able to thank him in full.

8. Remember that there are no irreplaceable people.

In your project, you must understand every little thing. Then you will not be seized by a state of panic if financial director suddenly wants to leave, or one day you have a fight with your partner. Even at the initial stage of a startup, do all the work yourself, because then you will clearly understand what you need and what needs to be done.

9. Don't be afraid to make mistakes

In America, people are not as afraid of failing in business because of fear of making mistakes as they are in Europe. But we are all imperfect and we make mistakes. It `s naturally. As they say: under a lying stone and water does not flow. Now imagine a different situation. How will you feel when you find out that someone else managed to bring your idea to life, and not you? All because you were afraid.

Starting a new business is always associated with great responsibility, hard and everyday work, and sometimes with the danger of failure. It will take a lot of effort from an aspiring entrepreneur to achieve success. In short, business is hard work.

But the end results of the decision to create your own business, labor and risk can be truly great. And we can talk here not only and not so much about money.

Satisfaction plays an important role here and about the pride that a person who achieves success experiences. It's a truly incomparable feeling. It is a feeling of victory, a sense of success and self-importance.

In order not to make a lot of mistakes at the start and achieve in the end everything that a novice entrepreneur wants, we offer 25 outwardly simple but very important tips:

  • Dream. Don't be afraid to dream big. Dream that it is you and your business idea that will conquer the world. Only he achieves success who dreams big in small things;
  • Back up your dreams with action. Only he achieves success who not only dreams, but also acts. Always bring the results of your actions to the end. Do not become Manilovs and always "dreaming". Start now. Right now;
  • Believe in yourself and your business. You will be dissuaded. Many if not all. Acquaintance, relatives, friends. Listen to yourself. Strive to be calm and confident in your choice and decision. Discuss and defend your choice calmly and with dignity. Be confident in your product or service. You must be the first to believe in success and you will be the first in business;
  • Your business must be relevant. Make sure that your business is important and necessary not only for you, your friends, investors and shareholders. Your business should be relevant to as many people as possible;
  • Don't be afraid of mistakes. There is no life or business without mistakes. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, but don't repeat them. Learn from mistakes. Draw conclusions and, based on these conclusions, make adjustments to the business. Read a lot and learn from the mistakes of others. It's cheaper;
  • Discover opportunities. In oneself, in people, in situations, etc. Opportunities are always there. Many simply do not see them or do not want to see them. Do not be afraid of the difficulties of the absence of opportunities. Think, look and find opportunities. I assure you they are always there. There are really a lot of them;
  • There is no one way for everyone. There are many ways to make a million dollars. But there is no single and suitable recipe for everyone. Everything is very individual and much depends on the personal qualities, character traits and upbringing of the one who earns a million or dreams of it. Tailor the situation to suit your needs, not the other way around. Even if your original plan did not work, this does not mean at all that the second, third ..., tenth will not work;
  • Make and execute plans. It is very important to have clear and real plans especially when starting a business. Have a clear picture of what you will be doing today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, a month from now, and so on. Know what you want to achieve and how you will achieve it. But know and understand that it is not always possible to realize in life what is written “on paper”, as they say: “point to point”. It's not realistic, and probably not necessary. The main thing here is that the changes made to the implementation of the plan do not change or break it radically;
  • Understand your business. It is clear that starting a business that you do not understand at all is a mistake that can be costly. But even if you are starting a business that you are well versed in, do not stop. Constantly learn, learn more about your business and about related areas. Know what is causing supply and demand in your business and control these processes. Control costs and management. Control all the main things that can somehow affect your business. Chat and chat with other business owners similar to yours. Don't lock yourself into your business;
  • Understand financial matters. Understand and control. Control your company's income and expenses. Understand how, when and how much you will personally earn, and how much your company will earn. Do your best to personally understand financial indicators his business despite the fact that the company employs an accountant or even several accountants. Knowing the real indicators and figures, you will know where your business is now and where it will go in the future, which means you can quickly influence its path if necessary;
  • Know and respect your customers. Your business will exist and develop if it has customers, buyers, consumers of your offers. And, of course, satisfied customers. No other is given. If you are unable to run your company in such a way that you have many satisfied customers, you will not be successful. If you do not understand what your and potential customers want, you will also fail. Find out constantly what your customers want, what problems they have and think about how to solve these problems. Understand why consumers are not satisfied with the services or products of your competitors? Find out why satisfied? Offer cheaper and better quality. keep constant feedback with your customers and get feedback from them about the work of your company. When they are disappointed, it will be too late. Talk, as soon as possible, personally with each client. Take care and respect them all. Even those who are not very pleasant or irritate you. Remember: there are no friends and personal preferences in business. In business, there is a customer and a profit;
  • Get out of your comfort zone. Entrepreneurship is a challenge. A challenge to your prevailing comfort, slender and measured rhythm of life. Entrepreneurship is always a loss of existing comfort and risk, since there is no comfortable and calm life with risk. It is important to understand this. Achieves success in business only a brave entrepreneur and risking wisely!;

In this post, I want to review the most common beginner entrepreneurs mistakes and give some advice on how to avoid them and not repeat the bitter experience of others. I think that this topic is quite important, because, as the statistics say, not everyone who decides to do their own thing succeeds.

Many of them leave entrepreneurship and return to, having received not only negative experience, but also financial losses. Often the fault is just those errors, which will be discussed later.

So, I will describe the main mistakes and allow myself to give some useful ones. tips for budding entrepreneurs on how to avoid them.

Error 1. Focusing on the success of others without regard to details. Very often, a novice entrepreneur makes a decision under the impression of the results of the work of someone else. These can be some success stories read on the Internet or books, or personal observations of the development of a business project in your city or on the Internet.

Of course, the positive experience of other people can serve as a good help and motivation for a novice entrepreneur. But the problem is that in most cases he sees only the “tip of the iceberg” and does not know how things are in reality: what difficulties the now successful businessman had to face and how he overcame them. Very often it may turn out that success in business depended on some subjective factors that were inherent in successful businessman and which a novice entrepreneur does not have.

A banal example: a novice entrepreneur sees how a certain store is successfully developing, opens his own similar one, but immediately “falls” under a bunch of inspections by regulatory authorities, which find a lot of violations and literally do not let them work, and even issue huge fines. In fact, it turns out that the owner of the store taken as an example is the son of a major official, so they don’t “touch” him, and he himself sent all these checks to eliminate a competitor.

Advice: if you decide to build a business on someone else's example, you need to carefully study all of its “underground”, not only visible, but also hidden, and even then draw a conclusion whether you can repeat such success.

Error 2. Desire to make money by selling a business idea. Another common mistake entrepreneurs make is believing that they have come up with some super-profitable business idea that the world's richest investors should literally fight over. A novice entrepreneur tries, but it turns out that those who are able to invest in his idea do not even take him seriously.

In fact, selling a business idea to an investor is one of the myths that aspiring entrepreneurs believe. In fact, there are many resources on the Internet filled with business ideas and even ready-made business plans access to which is absolutely free. Question: why should an investor buy something that can be easily found for free, and quite possibly even in the best possible way?

Tip: If you want to make money selling a business idea, you need to start putting it into practice, even in small volumes, so that you can see the actual, not the predicted result from its implementation. This is one of the most important conditions for (you can read about the rest at the link). Yes, at the same time you will have to risk your money - there is no other way. Even if you yourself are not ready for this, then the investor is even more so.

Error 3. Perfectionism. Very often, a novice entrepreneur strives to create an ideal business, which is basically impossible. Now literally every business will necessarily have its shortcomings and vulnerabilities. Therefore, waiting for the perfect opportunity to open a business, a novice businessman, at a minimum, will lose a huge amount of time and potential profit, and most likely will never open it at all. Meanwhile, non-perfect competitors will take over the market and make money.

Tip: Aspiring entrepreneurs do not need to strive for perfection, perfectionism is their worst enemy. If you want to develop the perfect business idea, find the perfect environment, the perfect time to start a business, chances are you will never start your own business. Therefore, open not an ideal, but a profitable business.

Error 4. The desire to snatch as much as possible. Of course, in most cases, a novice entrepreneur opens a business primarily to make money. It's okay and there's nothing wrong with it the main objective business is to make a profit. But the mistake here is when a novice businessman does not think about anything else but money, money literally overshadows his eyes and turns off his brain.

The fact is that it happens when a business, as they say, “fell into the stream” and brings a good income, which once could only be dreamed of. A novice entrepreneur rejoices in this and "baths in money." However, such a phenomenon is almost always of a short-term nature, the trend may soon change, and the business will turn from super-profitable into super-unprofitable. And all because a novice entrepreneur, making mistakes, did not think about developing his business, did not invest money in it, but used all the profits for personal needs.

Tip: A business whose main goal is to “squeeze” as much profit out of it as possible will never last. If you want your business not to be focused on a one-time profit, but to become a source of constant cash flow- you also need to constantly take care of its development, investing labor, time and, of course, capital.

Error 5. Mixing business and friendship. It often happens that a novice entrepreneur, not knowing how to say “no”, takes on a job (or even worse - as a partner) some friend, relative, relative of a friend, etc., who, in fact, is completely unsuitable for this role. In the future, he is forced to constantly face the problems that he creates, to suffer losses from this, because he feels obliged to this person and cannot say goodbye to him, so as not to lose a friend.

Tip: There is a saying: "Friendship based on business is better than business based on friendship." A novice entrepreneur must understand this, and share the business with friendship, so as not to lose both in the end.

Error 6 . Opening a business without prior market analysis. Another important and common mistake of novice entrepreneurs is that they introduce their business idea to the market without conducting preliminary research and not knowing if the market needs it? That is, they are confident in what is needed, but this is only their self-confidence and nothing more.

It also often happens that one business idea can be very much in demand in one place, but absolutely not in demand in another. All this, of course, leads the novice businessman to losses.

Some believe that market research is an extra waste of money, which is not enough to start a business, and here, in fact, they go nowhere at all. This is the deepest delusion. Look at the world's most successful companies - they regularly spend on marketing research simply colossal sums, millions and billions of dollars, and therefore they always know exactly what their consumer needs, and strive to satisfy his needs as much as possible. Don't you think that this is a big part of the secret of their success?

Tip: before you open your business, be sure to research the market to find out how much it is in demand, and whether it is in demand at all. Moreover, with a small scale business, it is easy to do it yourself and even at virtually no cost. For example, by conducting surveys on social networks.

Error 7. Overconfidence. A novice entrepreneur is sometimes too self-confident, believing that his business idea has no equal, and its implementation will be successful. positive attitude- this is one thing, and excessive self-confidence and, as a result, the loss of vigilance on this basis - is already another.

Something absolutely new, in demand, can only be created by a few out of millions. If what you have in mind is not yet on the market - maybe it's not because no one else had guessed it before, but because it is not in demand, and previous attempts to introduce a similar product to the market ended in failure?

Tip: Never, under any circumstances, in business, you should not be overly self-confident and lose your vigilance. Perhaps your competitors are just waiting for this to force you out of the market - do not give them such an opportunity. If you are not able to objectively evaluate your actions and opportunities on your own (sometimes it is really difficult), ask other people to do this. If their opinion differs from yours, perhaps there is reason to think.

Error 8. Don't take on multiple tasks at the same time. The well-known saying “If you chase two hares, you won’t catch one” can be fully applied to starting a business. Very often, a novice entrepreneur tries himself immediately in different areas, as a result, he fails to develop any of them well.

On the one hand, this is always a plus. But, on the other hand, business is a business that requires, in addition to investing capital, large investments of labor and time. And one person simply physically cannot simultaneously use his labor and time in several business areas at once.

If you want to open a business in several directions at once, then do not start all these directions at the same time. It is better to first bring at least one case to a level that will allow you to devote less time and work to it, and only after that switch part of your attention to the second case, and so on. This will be much more efficient.

Error 9. Forget about clients. I have already written more than once, and I will repeat again that one of the main success factors in business, without which it is unlikely that it will be possible to open a business at all, is a client-oriented approach. That is, first of all, a novice businessman should think about the interests of his clients and how he can satisfy them.

However, it often happens that at some stage in the development of a business, when profits are already starting to come in, the entrepreneur forgets about customers, stops paying special attention to them, thinking that they already exist, and then “and so it will go.” This is a huge mistake that can easily lead to ruin.

Tip: Under no circumstances should you forget about the interests of customers and stop focusing your business on them, even if you already have a million of these customers. As soon as the consumers of your goods and services feel that your product no longer satisfies their interests at least one important criterion, you will start a downward trend, which can be very difficult to stop.

Error 10. No specific target audience. Very often, a novice entrepreneur opens a business without a clear idea of ​​who he is focused on. He can reason something like “the more customers there are, the better.” This is a very serious mistake, because in this case there will be, on the contrary, not more customers, but fewer, perhaps - in general, critically few.

Tip: Any business should be focused on a specific target audience, otherwise who is it for? No audience, no business.

Here they are - typical mistakes aspiring entrepreneurs and advice on how to eliminate them. You must understand that all of the above is the result of the negative experience of a huge number of novice businessmen, which cost them huge financial losses. In business, as in any business, it is better to learn from the mistakes of others than from your own. So take this information seriously and take note.

Based on this, it will become clear which areas will be vulnerable and you will have the opportunity to work in this direction.

Any start is a huge effort associated with the expenditure of time, labor and nerves. Realize whether you are ready to sacrifice established family relationships, financial stability from the received wages, friendly contacts, personal connections for the sake of their own business.

Determine whether you have a real desire to work in it, achieve results and expect a profitable period.

In addition, do not attract the money that was postponed for children, for treatment, education, strategic goals. Try to be reasonable even when you are offered a large-scale business that “pays for itself” in 2 months or a franchise (we have already described in a separate article). Such virtual profitable projects entail high costs and do not always meet the expectations of businessmen.

What kind of business should a novice entrepreneur do, what kind of business is relevant now - 5 trending business ideas

7. What business is relevant now - 5 examples of relevant business in 2019 💻 💡

Any novice businessman (entrepreneur) at the initial stage wonders what kind of business is currently relevant in Russia. Let's consider some of them.

Example #1. Cryptocurrency business

ForexClub.

Hello dear readers. Remember I wrote the article? There I mentioned one good book“Start small. Business Rules from the Founder of Subway. And in this article, I just want to write a small review and my opinion about the book, and also to say why I consider it one of the best for an aspiring entrepreneur. So, let's begin!

What is this book about

In the book, author Fred DeLuca told how he and a friend opened the first Subway diner and how the business developed from there. I was surprised that such a large chain of eateries was opened with a $1,000 initial investment. The author also talks about his friends who opened their business projects from a few tens of dollars to several thousand initial investments, and came out with huge profits. The message is just that it is possible with small investments do business if you are driven by passion, big goals and desire.

It really is! I completely agree with the author, because I myself started creating this site “How to earn money.ru” with 500 rubles in my pocket, and all my other projects from a slightly higher amount, but still these are pennies compared to what income from projects were obtained in the end.

Why is this book one of the best?

For a novice entrepreneur who is just starting out, support is needed and it is in the book. In the book plain language the author gives recommendations that will really help a novice entrepreneur in difficult situations, motivate him and show what he is doing wrong and what is right. There aren't any step by step instructions or something like that, everything is presented in the book from the point of view of business psychology, which gives food for thought. And it's cool!

Subway founder's business rules

  1. Start small. It's better than not starting at all. (True!)
  2. Earn a few cents before you start making dollars. (The pure truth. The main thing is to start earning at least a penny.)
  3. Start is an idea. It may be right under your nose. (Many try to invent something super-unreal, but most often the ideas lie on the surface.)
  4. Be far-sighted. Always imagine the big picture. (You need to know where you want to end up. Learn to set goals.)
  5. Believe in yourself and your business, even when others don't. (Faith must always be.)
  6. Ready, fire, aim! If you think too much, you risk never starting. (This is the mistake of many novice entrepreneurs. Everyone tries to “suck” the idea to the smallest detail, find a lot of difficulties and do not start. But in the process it could be different, you need to solve problems as they come and try everything.)
  7. Profit or death. Increase sales and reduce prices. If you don't do this, your business will die. (Without profit, your business will not exist for a long time and you need to try to start getting it as soon as possible. The author means about reducing the price in the book that you need to try by all means to reduce costs and make the cost of a product or service less.)
  8. Be positive. Then the blows received in the school of life will not knock you down. (The positive should always be otherwise you will quickly burn out.)
  9. Constantly improve your business. This The best way attract customers, make sales and earn income. (There is no limit to perfection, you need to constantly improve your business, come up with something new to develop it. If you stop, then others will soon overtake you.)
  10. Trust your people or you'll be in trouble. (Need to surround yourself in business only the best people and without fear of delegating work to them. It's hard, but you have to be able to trust.)
  11. Never spend all your money. This is the most important business lesson. (This is true. You should always have some spare money left, and this is not only in business, but also in everyday life.)
  12. Attract new customers daily. The model of consumer behavior always works: familiarity with the product, testing - use. (Every new client is an investment in the future. If he didn't buy now, he might buy later.)
  13. Be persistent. Do not give up. If you quit, you will definitely lose. (I would advise applying this rule not only in business, but also in life. If there is at least some chance, use it to the last. Be persistent in everything and achieve your goal.)
  14. Give the brand a name. Cherish your reputation. (When you are already known, the risk of slipping increases for you and you are more thorough in your decision-making processes.
  15. Opportunities wait for no one. Fractures happen, but it's how you use them that makes them good or bad. (This point gives me goosebumps. I talk about this often. Do not miss the opportunities that come your way. Each opportunity can change your life beyond recognition. I am grateful that I learned this lesson a long time ago and only because of this everything gradually builds up as I want.)

Conclusion

This is just a small review of the book, and I highly recommend reading it. You can buy at Ozone in electronic form (it's cheaper that way). But I'm used to printed books, so I spend a lot of time in front of a laptop and my eyes get tired. In general, read and do not forget to share your opinions about the book in the comments.

Sincerely, Schmidt Nikolai
