ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL

 

There are plenty literary content and people who’ll tell you how to start a business.  Many think you need to have a grand plan for your venture, but there’s no one formula for starting and running your own show successfully.

POINTERS OF REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCES

1.         Market Research is optional

•          It’s a good idea to do some market research

•          But spending too long on it can hamper progress

•         It’s a good idea to do what you think works for you and it requires none other than common sense

•          Research in whatever form will take time; use this time wisely

•         If you understand your market the market research needed can be minimized.

•         Ponder: “are you spending more time in your business than on it”

2.         You don’t have to suit up

•          It take s guts to run a business

•          Sometimes it’ good not to know what may happen next

•          Even through planning, you often cannot what will be.

•          Remember:

“a high way needs to go through the rubble before becoming a smooth transport system.

•          While it’s good to be poised and confident in public, it’s ok to fumble a little to have a short mental block when someone asks you something.

•          People will be more comfortable with someone who is down to earth and honest.

•          Your integrity is more important how you look or speak

3.         There’s be ups and downs

•          Most of us know that well’ have good and bad days.

•          The issue isn’t about having no sales, but how you cope with it.

•          Don’t forget the people around you.

•          It’s important to maintain relationship with family and friends

•          It’s not always about selling if you don’t have a life outside your business, it can be a very lonely ride.

While you can’t control the external forces, persistence, dedication and passion may just get you through.
