1. Why is it better for beginners to open a business from scratch?

Dear readers, this section of the article is very important! I sincerely advise you to study it carefully. I guarantee you won't regret it.

Here, the key points for starting a business for beginners from the point of view of the psychology of entrepreneurship will be explained.

Before you start a new project, be sure to think about what your desire is due to.

Understand yourself and your motivation to open a business, and my little test, compiled in the form of two blocks of different beliefs, will help you with this.

Belief Block #1.

With what thoughts you SHOULD NOT start your own business:

• How to quickly earn a lot to pay off debts?
• The idea that I have in my head will definitely work, but I need money to implement it;
• Am I worse than others? Here my neighbor is engaged in business and everything will also work out for me;
• Tired of these fool bosses, tomorrow I quit and open my own business!

Yes, friends, business is more psychology than technology. I'll explain why a little later.

Belief Block #2.

Conversely, you are READY to start a business if you think like this:

• I am very good at doing a business demanded by the "market" and on its basis I want to open my own business;
• I am aware that in the beginning large investments in a business are very risky, and only free money I can invest in a business, but I will not borrow it, since the risk of losing money without business experience is very high;
• My business requires a lot of time, and in order to develop it, I must have a cash reserve or source of income until my project brings tangible income;
• Having started my business, I will no longer have bosses and controllers who guide me in my work, and I need to become an organized person now enough to act independently and achieve success in entrepreneurship.

If you are dominated by beliefs from block number 1, do not rush to get into a fight. After all, most likely, such judgments indicate the emotionality of your decisions and underestimation of the risks that arise when starting your own business.

The beliefs that prevail in your head from block #2 indicate that you are fully aware of what a business is and are going to take a responsible approach to its start and further development.

I already wrote above that business is mainly psychology and only then technology.

It is time to explain why this is so.

The thing is that our internal "cockroaches" and delusions prevent us from starting our project.

Here are just a few of the myths that hold back successful projects:

1. Without money and connections, a business cannot be opened;
2. Taxes will eat up all the profits;
3. Bandits will take my business;
4. I don't have a commercial streak.

Surely you are familiar with all these fears of beginners. In fact, if you overcome them, or rather, just score and do not think about all this nonsense, then your chances of success will increase MULTIPLE!

2. How to start your business so as not to burn out - 10 iron rules!

I myself had to open a business more than once. I opened my first business at the age of 19, I independently registered as an individual entrepreneur. If you are interested in how to issue an IP, then I explained in detail all the subtleties of this procedure using my example in the article “How to open an IP in 3 hours”.

Then I bought 2 terminals for receiving payments. You probably yourself have used the services of such terminals more than once when paying for a mobile phone. But this business cannot be called open from scratch, since at that time (2006) I invested about 250,000 rubles in it.

So, friends, perhaps you know both successful examples of business projects and examples where entrepreneurs with their “brainchild” failed.

By the way, basically everyone hears stories of great successes, but it’s not customary and even ashamed to talk about failures.

Like, here I am a fool, a loser, went bankrupt, lost money, got into debt. So what's now? And now there is nothing left to do, it remains to live on and step by step to get out of this situation.

So that you don’t end up in the place of this poor fellow, here are the simplest rules that will help you start a business with minimal risks and a greater chance of success.

How to start your business from scratch and not go broke - 10 iron rules:

1. Never take loans to start a business if you have no experience;
2. Before opening a business, take off your “rose-colored glasses” and ask yourself the question: “What will I lose if I fail” ?;
3. Be prepared for different scenarios, consider both an optimistic scenario and a pessimistic one;
4. In no case do not open a business with money intended for other strategic goals in your life (children's education, loan payments, medical treatment, etc.);
5. Carefully study the market and your capabilities, that is, the resources you have to start your own business;
6. Do not get involved with obscure or "super profitable" projects that require serious investments;
7. If possible, talk to experienced entrepreneurs who are successful in business and take note of their advice;
8. Start a business in a field you know;
9. Plan the upcoming actions in writing and clearly articulate each stage that you have to go through to achieve the goal;
10. Be optimistic and do not stop at the first difficulties!

3. How to start your own business from scratch - 7 easy steps using the example of a fictional aspiring entrepreneur Vasya Pupkin

For clarity, I propose to go through all 7 steps of the technology for organizing your own business using the example of a fictitious entrepreneur, let his name be Vasily.

This is the hero of our story, who decided to open a business from scratch.

Step 1. Determine your value

Look, friends, I think you will agree that a business can be called an exchange of money for some value that you can give to your customers, that is, to solve their problem for money.

Let's say you're good at driving a car, or good at making beautiful designs on a computer, or maybe you have a talent for making DIY crafts - in all these cases, you have value that people are willing to pay for.

Let's get straight to the point and do a practical exercise that will help you start your business from scratch:

Grab a piece of paper and a pen, then write down a list of 10 things you feel you're better at.

Once this list is complete, consider what things you are good at that you really enjoy doing. Maybe you are currently doing this as a hobby.

The fact is that a person cannot do what he does not like for a long time, and business is a big creative process that requires you to be versatile in development, willpower and dedication.

For example, as a result of this exercise, you came to the conclusion that you like to teach something, explain, communicate with people and work with information, and most importantly, that you are good at it.

Then, by combining your abilities, you can become a private tutor, consultant or succeed in the network marketing industry.

This is a general principle.

So, Vasya lived...

Vasily decided to open a business, and responsibly approached this task.

Vasya made a list of his favorite activities and compared it with what he does best.

As a result of the exercise, our hero decided that he would be engaged in computer design, since he has been working for several years at DesignStroyProekt LLC in the city of Chelyabinsk, which develops interior design and then finishes the room according to a 3D project.

Vasily appreciated his strength and decided that he would become a private interior designer, he already had a number of completed projects, positive customer reviews and an impressive portfolio.

Vasya loved his work and sometimes even took it home, as there were a lot of orders from the company.

Even then, our hero realized that, in fact, he was engaged in entrepreneurial activity, only the company buys his services at a low price, and customers pay much more for the design development to the company.

Here Vasily realized that if he could find clients on his own, then he would not have to go to the office at all, and his initial investment in the business would be minimal. After all, his design skills themselves are, in fact, a business.

And so the idea came to our newfound entrepreneur to start a business.

While working in the company, Vasya even received a small percentage of completed projects, which means he could influence his income level.

Fortunately, he lived in a large city, where he had quite a few potential customers.

Step 2. We analyze the market and choose a niche for a future project

In order to understand whether your business will be successful, you need to conduct an appropriate analysis of the market in which you will sell your products or services.

So, Vasya decided not to rush and carefully prepared for a new life stage, which was called "free floating in the world of business."

During the few years that our designer worked for the company, he learned that there are about 10 similar companies in the market of his city, and they all provide similar services.

He asked his friend Pasha to go to these companies under the guise of a client and identify their strengths and weaknesses in order to further develop competitive advantages by working for himself.

After commercial intelligence, Pasha named a number of strengths and weaknesses of these companies. Pasha arranged these sides in a table so that it would be convenient for Vasya to compare them.

Strengths of Vasya's competitors:

• the interior designer of these companies makes an inspection and measurement of the object for free;
• all companies provide a discount on the subsequent finishing of the apartment;
• 7 out of 10 companies give a client a gift certificate for a 30% discount when ordering a design project from them again;
• managers of 9 out of 10 companies talk attentively with the client, correctly ascertaining his needs.

Weaknesses of Vasya's competitors:

• 8 out of 10 companies try to oversell too many additional products and services on their first meeting with a customer. This causes his negative reaction;
• the interior designer in all 10 companies, at the first conversation with a potential client, conducts a dialogue in a complex professional language using a large number of special terms;
• 7 out of 10 companies charge extra for editing computer-aided design projects.

Taking into account all the above pros and cons of competitors, our hero Vasily decided to design the interiors of houses and apartments in his city at a lower price. Similar companies on the market provide these services more expensively, since they spent a lot of money on maintaining a workplace and paying taxes for an employee.

The cost of the services of our designer was now one and a half times lower with the proper quality of execution of design projects.

This completed the second step of building your business from scratch with Vasily Pupkin.

Step 3. Decide on the positioning of your business and draw up a Unique Selling Proposition (USP)

In order for your customers to understand what exactly you offer them and what makes you unique, you will need to decide on your positioning. In other words, in what light will you present yourself to your client.

Let's return to our fictional character Vasily, who wanted to open his own business and was at the stage of developing an offer for the customer.

Vasya already had a good portfolio and a number of testimonials from satisfied clients, but how to show all this to your potential customers?

Then Vasya said to himself: “I'm a designer!” and decided to create his own website on the Internet.

Here he posted his portfolio, reviews, information about himself and his experience, as well as his contacts, so that a potential client could easily contact him.

Vasily also formulated his Unique Selling Proposition (USP) *, which sounded as follows: “Creating the interior design of your dreams for a reasonable price. Creative. Brightly. Practical."

So Vasya began to position himself as a professional designer who, at an adequate cost, develops a good quality product for people with an average income level.

Step 4. We draw up an action plan (business plan)

In order to launch your business and avoid many problems, you need to be prudent and try to put your idea and action plan on paper in as much detail as possible.

You can briefly write down the main stages that you have to go through to organize and launch your project. Draw diagrams and drawings, make explanations for them.

Correctly, this stage of starting your business from scratch is called business planning. This is your instruction, following which, the chances of success are greatly increased.

In one of the previous articles, I already wrote how to write a business plan, be sure to check it out.

Now back to our hero Vasily, who decided to become an entrepreneur and quit his job. Vasily has long wanted to open a business without investments, because he did not want to risk money. He understood that without proper experience, such an experiment could end badly and lead to loss of money.

As a result, Vasya decided that his actions would consist of 3 simple stages with subtasks and look like this:

1. Create your own website with portfolio, reviews and contacts;
2. Post your portfolio online on sites for remote workers;
3. Inform the immediate environment about your new project (friends, acquaintances and relatives).

Stage 2. Getting the first orders

1. Sign contracts and receive advance payments from customers;
2. Fulfill orders;
3. Get feedback and recommendations from the customer, add work to the portfolio.

Stage 3. Dismissal from work

1. Write a letter of resignation;
2. Work out the required 2 weeks, complete work projects and transfer cases;
3. Agree on the supply of customers for repair and finishing work to contractors.

Now he was fully prepared for the first practical steps to transform himself from an employee into an individual entrepreneur.

Step 5. We advertise our project and find the first clients

In order to find the first customers, when you already have an offer for your services, you must first notify your acquaintances, friends and relatives. Tell them that from now on you are engaged in such and such an activity, and also try to conclude the first contracts with them.

If at the moment your services are not relevant for them, ask them for contacts of people to whom they could recommend you.

It's no secret that for a large audience coverage and automatic self-presentation, you just need to create a website for yourself.

To do this, you can use the services of companies to create sites or, if you have the necessary knowledge, create a site yourself. By the way, about how my friend Vitaly and I earned about 1,000,000 rubles by creating websites, read our article about making money by creating websites to order.

In the meantime, the hero of our business story, Vasily, did not sit idle and developed a personal website for himself, created groups on social networks, notified the environment about the services he provided, and sent out commercial offers to his potential clients.

A well-written commercial offer is the key to success in your business. Read all the chips and nuances of technology in my article on how to make a commercial offer.

The first orders have arrived...

Step 6. Launching a business, earning the first money and building a brand

Having completed all the previous steps, you gradually approached the most interesting stage - the first orders, and therefore the first profits.

• Isn't that what we strived for when we became entrepreneurs!?
• “How to make money by starting your business from scratch?” Isn't that the question we asked ourselves?

If you show due perseverance and follow my recommendations, then you will certainly succeed. Just believe in yourself and do not give up ahead of time, be prepared for difficulties, because they will be, I tell you for sure.

So, our Vasily received and completed the first orders. As usual, he did it with his usual professionalism. The designer understood that it was not enough just to earn money, because he already knew how to do it at his office job in the company.

Possessing a strategic vision, Vasily decided that in order to develop his business and increase the value of his services, he needed to develop a name for himself, or, as they say in business circles, a reputation.

Earn yourself a name that will help you earn everything else!

folk wisdom

To do this, Vasya did not just sit at home and watch TV, but methodically engaged in self-education, attended thematic exhibitions and seminars, went to creative parties of designers and entrepreneurs, where he could find potential customers and meet new partners.

A few months later, Vasya established a reputation as an experienced and punctual professional in the field of interior design. The average cost of his order was growing, and clients came to him already on the recommendations of their friends, to whom Vasya provided high-quality design services.

Step 7. Analyze the results and expand the project

When your business began to bring tangible income, regular customers appeared, and you began to be recognized in the business and professional sphere, it's time to sum up the intermediate results of work and outline new horizons. Simply put, it's time to expand your project in order to increase profits and your own "weight" (your name) in the chosen business area.

Vasily did the same, he analyzed his results, income, outlined possible ways to expand the business.

As a result, our designer drew up a new business plan.

Now Vasily could hire assistants for himself, who performed all the routine operations for him. Our entrepreneur opened his own interior design studio named after Vasily Pupkin. In it, he was now the leader and art director.

Thus, having gone from a novice designer and company employee, our now big boss Vasily proved to everyone by his own example that it is realistic to open a business from scratch and this does not require cosmic sums, and even more so loans that inexperienced entrepreneurs like to take.

Dear readers, perhaps someone will say that this is a fictional story and the issues of registering a company, proper negotiation with customers, legal issues and other subtleties are not disclosed here in detail.

Yes, this is true, but trust me, if you take these simple 7 steps as a basis, then starting a business for you will turn into an exciting journey that you will remember for a very long time. And as an experienced entrepreneur, you will share your practical knowledge with beginners.

I will say that I personally managed to open a business according to the described model.

I wish you good luck and I am sure that by approaching the beginning of your own project responsibly, after a while you will be doing what you love and getting paid for it.

Below you will find working business ideas for starting your own business from scratch, as well as real entrepreneurial stories about how my friends and I started our own business.

4. Things to do to Start Your Business from Scratch - Top 5 Business Ideas

The following business ideas will help you get started in business and feel like an entrepreneur in practice.

Some ideas will be related to making a profit with the help of the Internet, others will not.

You just have to choose the type of business you like and start diving into it.

Business idea number 1. Consulting and training

If you know how to do something well, then there will certainly be many who want to learn from your experience and knowledge.

Nowadays, online learning is especially popular. This is where you can find hundreds and even thousands of people who are willing to pay you.

For example, I have a friend Alexei, he lives with me in the same city of Stavropol and teaches foreign languages. A few years ago, Lyosha had to go to his students at home or invite them to his home. Now the situation has changed radically, everything has become much easier.

With the advent of the Internet, my friend began to teach people English and German via Skype. I myself used his services for a year. During this time, I managed to learn English from scratch to a conversational level. As you can see, it works.

You can also start your own home based business from scratch teaching or advising people over the internet.

Nowadays, many lawyers, accountants and teachers earn good money in this way. But there is an even more advanced option for making money on your knowledge, it consists in creating and selling your own training courses via the Internet.

To make a profit in this way you need:

• choose a topic in which you understand;
• write a training course on it;
• start advertising this course online in many ways and earn income from sales

The advantage of this type of business is that you record your course once and sell it multiple times.

In general, the sale of information on the Internet in the form of methods and manuals is called infobusiness. You can also open it and make it your main source of income.

Business idea number 2. Earnings with the help of the social network Twitter (Twitter)

Today, almost every person has their own profile in any of the social networks. But few people know that here, in addition to entertainment and communication, you can earn good money.

One of these opportunities is the usual for many Twitter - a social network for exchanging short messages up to 140 characters.

Ordinary people spend their time and money here, while smarter people have turned this social network into their source of permanent income.

It's no secret that wherever people hang out, there is money.

After all, our Internet users are an active solvent audience. So why don't you get some of their money. Moreover, it is absolutely legal and does not require outstanding knowledge.

It is enough just to make a few RIGHT actions and get the first profit. We have previously written about how to start your own business on Twitter and earn income comparable to the average salary in Russia. Read our article "How to make money on the social network Twitter" and implement the methods described in it.

Business idea number 3. We are engaged in mediation - we earn on Avito.ru

Earnings with the help of electronic bulletin boards is the easiest and most affordable for most people.

You are required to have minimal computer knowledge, a few hours a day and a desire to work for yourself.

With the help of sites that specialize in posting free ads, you can build your very profitable business.

This can be done in 3 steps:

1. Find what to sell
2. Place an ad on the site
3. Get a call from a buyer and sell a product

As a site for placing ads for sale, we will use the most popular Avito board (avito.ru).

Hundreds of thousands of ads are posted here every day, and the active audience of the site has tens of millions of users.

Can you imagine how many potential buyers for your product can be found here?!

First, you can start here by selling unnecessary things that you have at home, and then post ads for the sale of goods and services that you don’t even have in stock.

Do not believe that this is possible and want to know how it is done?

I myself tried to earn quick money with the help of Avito, I won’t say that I became a millionaire, but I managed to earn several thousand rubles in a week.

I wrote a separate article about this "How to make money on Avito - 10,000 rubles in one week."

Business idea number 4. Grow from an employee to a business partner

If you are currently employed, it is not necessary to quit your job and start your own business. You can do this within the company you work for.

If your company is not too big, and you are one of the key specialists there, then under certain conditions you can get a share in the company's business. This will allow you not only to receive a salary, but to become a full-fledged managing partner on a par with the current owner - your main manager.

This is possible if you can directly influence the increase in the company's profits by your actions.

Become an indispensable specialist and it is quite possible that the owner of the company himself will offer you to become his business partner.

This method is offered by the legendary Russian entrepreneur Vladimir Dovgan. Yes, you will have to work hard here, but on the other hand, you will become a co-owner of an already operating company without any risks and really from scratch.

Dovgan himself cites as an example a guy who became a co-owner of a large chain of restaurants in Moscow, and before that he was a simple cook in one of the restaurants.

This young man really liked what he was doing, he was professional in cooking and courteous with the guests of the establishment.

The owners, seeing his passion for work, first promoted him to a restaurant manager, and then offered him a share in the business for developing their network of restaurants and training staff.

I don’t remember the name of this person, but now he has become a dollar millionaire, without actually opening his own business, but starting to develop someone else’s.

This is also a good way to start your own business, especially if you have a good career in a small or medium commercial company.

Business idea number 5. Building your business online

If you are good at computers, know how to create Internet projects, or at least understand the principles of their functioning, then you should consider the Internet as a way to start your business from scratch.

There are two main ways to start an online business:

1. Freelance. This is the business of providing paid services to you over the Internet. If you have professional skills, such as drawing beautiful designs, writing texts professionally, or knowing programming languages, then you can easily make money on the global web. More precisely, it can rather be called work for yourself. While successful freelancers make between $500 and $10,000 per month.

You can start earning in this way on the popular exchanges for freelancers Freelance (fl.ru) and Workzilla (workzilla.ru).

2. Classic business on the Internet. It is not so easy to build a full-fledged online business on your own, it is best to follow the beaten path.

To do this, just read my article how to make money online. There I talked about how you can make money on games, on social networks, on selling information from 50,000 rubles a month and gave examples of real people who are already doing this.

This concludes my review of business ideas. I hope that they will help you move forward and start earning your first money.

5. My own experience of starting a business from scratch in the service industry

As I wrote earlier, I opened my first business at the age of 19 - it was a vending business (terminals for accepting payments). Yes, it took money. Then I had several more projects. All of them had nothing to do with the Internet.

And so, about 3 years ago, my current friend and business partner Vitaliy and I opened our own website creation studio without a penny. We ourselves learned to make Internet projects literally on the go, but in the end, after a few months, we earned about 500,000 rubles at our website creation studio.

Naturally, I often had to work with legal entities that transferred payment for services by bank transfer. To do this, you had to either open your own company or work through someone.

We chose the second way, having agreed with our current business partner Evgeny Korobko. Zhenya is the founder and head of his own advertising agency. I interviewed him, you can read him in an article about opening an advertising agency from scratch, the material is published on our website.

Our first clients were familiar entrepreneurs.

We approached our business responsibly, and fulfilled orders with soul. Soon the word-of-mouth effect kicked in as our satisfied customers started recommending us to their friends.

This allowed us to get a continuous flow of customers, and sometimes we even could not cope with orders. This experience helped us to believe in ourselves, and today we have a complete picture in our head of how to start a business from scratch and make it successful.

I want to note that with the development of information technology in the world, your sales market today is the whole planet!

There are no more distances, any information is available, and now starting a business is much easier than even some 10 years ago.

I hope that all the materials in this article will help you take the first step towards your dream - your own business, which will eventually turn from a small home project into a huge company with a worldwide reputation.

Therefore, dear readers, I assure you, everything is in your hands, just act, because the city takes courage!

6. The real story of how my friend Misha worked as a security guard and became a businessman

Here is one of my favorite stories about a real entrepreneur who started a business from scratch. After all, I promised in the article to give examples from life.

Do you want to know how Mikhail became an entrepreneur from a laborer, opened his own company, bought a foreign car and an apartment?

A few years ago, my friend Mikhail worked wherever possible: as a laborer at a construction site, as a loader, and as a security guard.

In a word, he was engaged in not the most monetary and intellectual work. It all started with the fact that my friend was guarding a company selling building materials. One day a client came to them who wanted to buy a large batch of building insulation, but it was not in the assortment.

Misha knew that literally 100 meters from the company he was guarding, there was another hardware store where there was definitely such a heater. Taking a contact from a potential client, he went to this store in the evening and agreed that he would bring them a large client if they would give him a percentage of the purchase made from them. The management of this store agreed and Misha worked as a freelance sales manager, earning about 30,000 rubles for just one transaction (recommendation).

And it was an amount equal to his monthly salary!

Mikhail thought that this was an interesting business, and the financial result of the transaction gave him confidence. So he quit his job and started by negotiating with various firms that he would sell their products. Since Misha already worked as a laborer and security guards in a construction company, he also chose construction goods for sale: windows, doors, fittings, roofing, and so on.

My friend just walked around the construction sites of the city and offered his goods. Some were bought from him, some not. As a result, Mikhail formed an assortment of the most popular goods and understood how to properly negotiate with foremen at construction sites.

After 2 years, Mikhail opened his own company selling building materials and connected his brother to this business. Prior to that, his brother Kostya worked at Gorgas and received the usual small salary. Now the guys are quite successful in sales and earn good money.

By the way, I have been to their office more than once and have known Misha for several years. He told me this story himself.

By opening a business from scratch, you avoid the risk of losing money, and this is the most important thing. Also, starting without material resources teaches you to make better decisions in order to earn money. After all, if you manage to make a profit without investing, then with money you can even become a successful entrepreneur.

See you in the next articles and good luck in your business!

Start by looking for employees. No matter in what area you decide - it will be much easier for you with the help of hired workers. They can perform a variety of duties - from performers to searchers. The main thing is that they have diligence and are willing to work for a percentage upon the fact of the transaction.

Create a website and a group on a social network dedicated to your business. It is necessary to refer to the site, and the site to the group - despite the growing functionality, all the features of the site are impossible in the group, and the greatest trust among customers will be enjoyed by an open discussion in the group due to the openness of information.

Helpful advice

Be as restrained and courteous as possible in open discussions, do not allow open confrontation.

Many at least once in their lives think about opening their own A. But according to statistics, up to 90% of business projects will fail. It often seems to a novice entrepreneur that the business he wants to do will be interesting and in demand, but for one reason or another this is not the case. How not to make mistakes and open just such a business that will bring you profit?

Instruction

Think about what is missing in your city or locality. If you live in, it will not be difficult, because you probably do not have a lot of shops, cafes and other establishments that are in demand by most. You can not be afraid of competitors, because you have a chance to become the first owner of a certain type business in the city.

When choosing an idea, be guided not so much by your interests as by the interests of the average resident of the city or district. Otherwise, it will turn out that you have opened a business "for yourself." Such a business will be very difficult (and expensive) to promote. Make a list of goods and services that you think many people need.

Think about what you could open from the indicated list, focusing on your means, as well as what you are most interested in. If there is little or simply no money of your own, consider whether you are able to borrow money or attract an investor. Those who can only focus on themselves and their savings will have to narrow their choices.

If you are not sure that you can quickly promote a business, buying a well-known establishment will be an almost win-win option. It is that you acquire the ability to work under a well - known . Accordingly, it will not need promotion, and customers will appear quickly. But buying a franchise usually requires considerable investments (from half a million rubles), in addition, you will be required to deduct a certain amount of profit to the franchisor every month.

The idea of ​​start-up entrepreneurs about business without costs is akin to the desire of scientists to invent a perpetual motion machine. However, it is hardly worth saying that this is impossible. At the very least, there are still several options to create a business without much investment.

Instruction

- attracting investors or partners (it is not uncommon for a company of friends or relatives to open one business);
- loan from friends or relatives;
- receiving grants and subsidies from the state (valid in most cases for social types of business).

It is difficult to do without money at all, but the advantage of a small business is that it does not require such investments, as it could be with a factory or other large enterprise.

That is, you must be well versed in the topic of your business, otherwise you will have to hire a lot of additional employees, which at first will entail costs. There is also a problem of a psychological nature - it is difficult for someone who has worked for someone for a long time to adjust to the fact that now he himself has become the owner of the business. In this case, it is easier to adapt to those who already had at least a little entrepreneurial experience.

Such personal qualities as self-confidence, perseverance, work will help you open your own business and develop it.

Business types

And narrow-minded. For example, if you open a "Fish" or "Natural food from around the world" store, then, of course, you can significantly expand the assortment in this direction. What hypermarkets cannot afford. And, to begin with, by providing effective advertising, to attract a large number of fans of this product there. And if buyers like it, they will bring friends and acquaintances.

And, of course, the emphasis on chain stores and firms. To date, they remain the main competitors of private sellers. For example, Ulmart, which work on the Internet, at the same time have offline pickup points throughout the country. Or a huge network of Magnit stores. What city doesn't have them today?
