However, it is often discouraged and fails in the middle of the road, so it becomes traumatic in doing business. Therefore, so as not to just look at the outer skin of opening a business, try to learn these facts before opening a business.
1. Sometimes, your first business idea can fail
Understand well that your business idea, no matter how bright your design is, it won't work 100 percent. It could fail. So, when you just start a business and implement your idea, but fail, don't feel inferior and give up. Look for other ideas that you can apply or improve to be more perfect.
2. Your business needs hard work and sacrifice more than you can imagine
Do not assume we are young and have excess capital, then make our business immediately successful, without sacrifice behind it. We must dedicate time, energy and mind in the business.
3. In fact, you will sacrifice a lot of things to make your business successful
It could be that our leisure time is drastically reduced, there is no time at the beginning of opening a business. In addition, we also have to give in and be firm with ourselves to reduce playing time, gather with friends, to manage and focus on developing your business.
4. If you want to be successful, just dare to start a business is not enough. You must have the potential and skill
Avoid following trends. For example, the flower business season. If we do not have the potential to sell flowers, do not know who the best and cheapest suppliers are, then do not join in opening a flower business, even though dare to take the risk. Because the potential we have must be balanced and support the business.
5. We are the ones who are obliged to be the first tryers of your business
If you just don't want to try the product / service that you offer, let alone someone else? Of course, the first customer of your business is yourself. Remember, you must be objective and judge from the customer side, yes!
6. Must be independent and prioritize all business interests
In opening a business, especially if you start it alone, you have to stand alone. Parents, closest relatives, may be able to give advice and input. But all of our major decisions are our hands. So, we must have the mentality and enthusiasm of steel, huh!
7. Must learn to say no and be selective in taking action
Don't just be friends, we make that person as a supplier, especially if the price is more expensive or the quality is not so good. We must be smart in taking steps in doing business. Every offer that comes in, whether from a friend or another, we must value it fairly.
8. Sometimes, we will lose your friends
The effect is, when we reject a friend to become a supplier, it does not rule out the possibility that he will be angry and uncomfortable. No problem, meaning that the person is still not able to distinguish between business interests, where is the interest of friends. Think coldly and stay optimistic.
9. Not everyone fits into your business, and not everyone can be your customer
For example, we open a coffee shop. Of course the customers consist of people who usually look for meeting places, a new atmosphere, coffee lovers, people who want to be alone, and so on. They are our target market.
Meanwhile, those who are older and prefer to eat home food are not our customers. So, you must be able to determine who the target market really is before opening a business.
10. Must love whatever your business we build
Our time will be consumed to manage the business. So don't feel burdened. We must be able to enjoy the time and business. If you are always burdened, the business will not be able to advance.
