Getting Started Starting To Not
Fail.
Early Steps Start a Business.
Indonesia has not been a lot of people who make the business as its main
purpose in life. This is evident from the percentage of employers who are still
very few. Most minded to pass on to high school, though easy to find a job,
then look forward to a high salary.
But the reality is often far from
expectations. Coveted job not being obtained. Already working was not fit
between education, employment, and income (salary). Only then thinking seems
good too if you have a business, fun also if you can begin to open a business
and the business forward.
But sometimes the desire to start
a business into a back and forth. Sometimes the desire is so strong, but if you
imagine the obstacles often be receding. In order to easily perform the
transformation of employees into entrepreneurs need to be considered at least
six (6) steps below:
1. Preparation Mental / Mind Set
This is a fundamental step and
become the foundation for your success in starting a business and doing
business. Mindset as employees who rely on the security and comfort of work and
salary guarantees should be changed. The motivator and entrepreneur has often
reminded us to have a good mind set as:
- Do not be afraid of failure,
failure or loss is common. Indeed seem daunting if not open the business
continues to lose money. Which should be undertaken only "rise again each
time failed" as many times once again the failure of that rise will
certainly find a profitable, successful, and success.
In business failure or loss is
common.
I often remind myself that the
money or capital that we spend on business, even if lost business and failed,
think of it as the cost of learning. The money that we spend is not in vain,
we've got the science of doing business that are not possible in the can in
college. If it once to open a business, despite the loss it will be much easier
to start a new business.
- Love the process. Business
should not only focus on making money and profit. If the focus is only on money
will be many disappointed. Business is not like people pay, which is a good job
is not good, certainly the salary earned at the end of the month.
Business like a roller coaster,
up and down, uncertain, so should be able to enjoy the rhythm of business. If
they are lucky to be grateful and be ready for the next investment, a loss that
was a lot to learn and prepare for the next process, and always be sure there
will be a time to be profitable.
If the property entrepreneurs
often say "love the transaction, do not love her property". As well
as any property, do not love the physical building. But love business
processes. Likewise, in any business, there are always steps that must be
passed before there was a deal and no profit. Each of these processes are
interrelated, if we are not in love with the process, it would make no profit
spirit and will easily move away.
- Keep learning. Whatever
business we enter, definitely there will always be changes. The changes may not
be faced with the knowledge that much-much alone. We must continue to learn new
things to meet those changes.
Learning does not have to be from
school / college. Learning can be friendship with other employers; can also
learn through seminars, workshops, or also with the help of a mentor; be able
to read books, magazines, internet, etc.
When learning new things, it is
not likely we will find new opportunities and potential new businesses that
might bring success for us.
- Fast in execution, but do not
rush; In business the necessary speed in executing decisions. But unlike the
rush, if rush tend to without much calculation. Doing business with the same
rush of suicide. As a businessman should be able to quickly gather information
as a decision, if it is used and trained it will be like instinct alone.
When he gets an offer or business
opportunity, we must quickly gather information, perform calculations, and
quick decision-making, is a good business opportunity or not, should be taken
or not. If it should be forwarded immediately executable, do not linger.
Because if it's too long and too much consideration, opportunities will run
into another person.
- Persistent / unyielding; This
is definitely mentally to be owned by the employer. As written above, we only
need to rise again from every failure.
- Sure must be successful; We
need to cultivate confidence to succeed every day. Make the dream book, or a
book that contains the dreams of our life goals to be achieved. Make
affirmation exciting to go ahead. Read a book every day and recite the dream of
affirmation every day to make sure we continue to be successful.
- Focus; Focus it like a laser
sharp. If the laser beam is not focused and split up then there will be sharp
again shine.
In entering the business world,
often much temptation when seeing others succeed. Kala saw the successful
laundry business kilogram, the droves of people ran to the laundry kilogram.
Currently, business is booming pulse, all run to the credit business.
If we have schools and confident
with businesses that entered, then continue in business until completely
finished. If it fails, the failure is complete,....... Keep the business that
we're into a brand image for ourselves.
2. Select the areas of business
interest.
So that the business can be
durable, we are happy to live, and tetep feel lucky despite being losers, we
seek entry into the business that is consistent with our interests and
preferences. We would feel were playing alone. Profit or profit into umpteen
numbers, and will be perceived as a bonus only.
If you feel there is no business
that can be undertaken in accordance our interest, yes find a business that can
be immediately executed. Just start from the easy and simple. For clothing or
garment business, start by shopping at wholesale center, plainly offer to those
around us. Or when it's ready capital, started just from looking for stores
that are rented.
If the selected business
interests did not fit: back to the system of the above suggestions love, love
the transaction, profit loved, loved the process.
3. Extend network
If it can open a business, start
expand the association to expand our network. Extend network not only to the
parties that intersect with our business. Mix the widest possible to add to the
network, increase knowledge, increase collaboration, and who knows will meet
with new opportunities.
The first step may frequently
cooperate with other parties. For example do consignment, cooperation create
new products, joint promotion of cooperation, collaboration and complementarity
needs of others.
Expand friendship, because
friendship will bring much luck. Friendship not only with the businessmen. Can
also join associations, community groups, and forums entrepreneurs. To add a
friend, network, and insight.
4. Select the uniqueness of
products / services
One of the keys to success in
starting a new business and open a business is our ability to provide added
value for consumers. The added value we provide through the products or
services that we offer. If the product / service we are nice and unique it will
be easy to provide more value added, which means more profit (potential).
First maybe we need to do some
research or surveys on what the consumer wants. If the online business, has
many tools that can help us identify what the consumer wants. For example
google keyword tools or google trends to find out what that is much sought
konsuen sich.
If we become a distributor or
reseller also select products that are already in endors by experts, artists,
or famous people. For example for couples choose a product that has been
diendors by reproductive health experts like Abe products. If the garment
products choose the brand that has been attached to the famous artist.
5. Keep a good name, credibility,
and trust the other party
A good name, credibility, and trust
is the most expensive capital in the business. Once tarnished our good name, it
will be difficult to restore confidence. With good credibility, will be easier
we have the ease of doing business. For example in the delay of payment, loan
capital or goods, as well as ease of other transactions.
For that we need to adhere to
business ethics. Make business as a way of life, not just for profit that
crashed into the norms of our lives.
For consumers ourselves, our name
so the stakes, they will be comfortable shopping and doing business with us who
have a good name. For the focus is always on providing the best service for our
customers.
6. Immediate start
Well this, the sixth step is a
step that is very very important. Useless mind set, there is a good product
useless, useless we are credible, if the business never started. Start with the
easiest run first, do not need to wait for all the conditions under ideal
circumstances to start a new business. Start of values that we are ready to
invest capital or start from opening a business with little capital first.
Begin today.
Lastly, if the business has been
run, the business has grown, need to add one more step that is diligent
evaluation. What is important is also evaluating more passion and interest in
us. If the business is not currently appropriate interest, try to open a new
business that matches your interests. Or remain on the current business but we
kegiatn sliding into things like, for example, we focus on marketing, then
other fields like production, accounting, and we leave it to other people we
trust.
