last week I was atttended a local business start up event and one of the participants who had been hovering at my table asked me, “What are the 3 most important things I need before I start my business?”
What a great specific question - 3 things, the answer though, I think depends on the individual. All I could do was share my experience and in my case it wasn't very easy to just give three ideas, but these are the 3 things I came up with .
1. Have clarity about what you are offering
2. Do your research, really get to know your market place
3. Make sure you are well supported – from both family and friends and someone who can
assist you in the development of your business
Don't let fear get in the way, start with the resources you’ve got from where you are today. You can always tweak things as you progress. Work on your strengths, you will need plenty of persistence, passion, and buckets of self belief. Running your business can be a great challenge and also very rewarding.
Do you agree? What would you have advised? Let me know.
