Title: Building a prosperous business
Post by: odunybiz on July 17, 2023, 12:41:50 AM
Starting a business may seems easy but this come with alot of challenges which includes the ability to survive after being established.

Some people just start a business because they want to have a business.

This isn't enough point to start a business because a business based on this may collapse with time. When starting a business, you must put in mind that you want to solve a problem. It may be community, country or world problem. This various company have been in existence to solve various issues among people.

👉👉Telecommunication company came to solve communication problem.

👉👉Generator came to solve electricity issues especially among most developing countries where electricity is an issue.

👉👉POS was introduced to help banking sector reduce bank queue arising from people who want to make deposit and withdraw.

👉👉Solar system was introduced has well to reduce the cost of fuelling your generator to get power supply.

These are some keys that may guide you after a business idea has been gotten

🗝️🗝️Be passionate about your business idea🗝️🗝️
Take action immediately an idea is been gotten. Another person may have thesame idea you have just gotten in mind. Getting into market before him/her may be an advantage.

🗝️🗝️Determine if there is a viable market for your idea🗝️🗝️
Don’t launch without testing your idea. Idea may look great to friends and families but this doesn’t guarantee that actual customers will actually love it. You need to determine if there is anyone clamoring for your solution.

🗝️🗝️Don’t quit your day job🗝️🗝️
It isn't a good idea quitting ones job when establishing a business. Instead, start your business off as a side hustle. Do the groundwork of researching and testing while you still have the income to support yourself. If it takes off, look at what financial milestones you need to hit in order to go full-time. If you find that you have the financial runway to go full-time immediately and are willing to take on more of a risk, go for it. Just be sure that you have a backup plan if your business idea fails to gain traction.

🗝️🗝️Prepare a business plan🗝️🗝️
 Creating a business plan early will make starting, managing, and growing your business easier. This is your roadmap for success that you can actively review, revise, and share. Without a plan, you’ll just be making guesses and hoping that you’ll find success.

🗝️🗝️Find the right partners🗝️🗝️
Find the right individuals to work with. This should be individuals with same objectives and goals. Working with the right individuals who complement your skillset will elevate the potential of your business.

🗝️🗝️Track finances early🗝️🗝️
Even if you’re not a numbers person, you need to track your finances. Whether it’s with spreadsheets, accounting software, or an accountant. Your financial statements need to be up-to-date and organized. This prepares you to file taxes, pitch to investors, apply for small business loans, manage credit card spending, and easily track the health of your business.

🗝️🗝️knowing your competitors🗝️🗝️
To improve your chances of successfully entering a market, you need to understand the competition. You should be able to answer questions like:
🧠Who are the key players?
🧠Who is your immediate competition?
🧠What do they offer?
🧠How do they position their product/service?
🧠Who do they target?
🧠How large is the available market?
🧠What are their weaknesses?
🧠Are there opportunities for disruption?
Competitive analysis should be embedded in your initial market research.

🗝️🗝️Pay attention to your legal needs🗝️🗝️
Part of starting a business is completing the required legal steps to turn your idea into a legitimate business. This includes defining your business structure, registering for a tax id and business name, obtaining permits and licenses, and finding out how much you’ll be paying in taxes.

🗝️🗝️Have enough cash on hand🗝️🗝️
Cash is crucial for every business. Without it, you can’t cover your expenses, handle a financial crisis, or grow sustainably. Avoid starting your business with a loan. It doesn't look healthy for a new business. A business can look good on paper without actually being healthy. If cash is on loan, then how do you pay back when business isn't bring good profit at start.

🗝️🗝️Prepare yourself mentally🗝️🗝️
Running a business isn’t easy. You’re responsible for how it performs, the people you hire, the products/services you sell, the culture you develop—the list goes on and on. While you can steer the ship, there are plenty of things beyond your control. Production errors, rising costs, supply chain disruption, competitor changes, souring consumer sentiment, etc. If you aren’t prepared for the challenges that come with the excitement of running a business, you’ll sink. It can lead to excessive stress, long working hours, and financial struggles, among other things which may lead you to being discouraged about the business and may lead to the end of the business. Don't be discourage, instead, look for opportunities to optimize, make adjustments, and grow yourself as an entrepreneur and leader.

🗝️🗝️Be creative and consistent🗝️🗝️
You need to be consistent in the time you invest, establish milestones and metrics for success, and solidify a process for reviewing performance. This doesn’t have to be perfect, but you need to set standards for yourself and your business.


CONCLUSION
Let your purpose of establishing a business be on solving a problem not just to make money. If your reason to creat a business is to make money, you may get discourage within months if good profit weren't made. Establishing a prosperous business isn't easy, there’s a lot that goes into it. As you begin your business journey, keep these tips in mind, focus on planning, and take the time to test as much as possible. The more you prepare upfront, the more likely that your business will succeed.

OP, you could just link to the article where you got all your ideas from. Why decorate your post if you do not own your own experience?
I see your effort, but apart from the fact that you simply paraphrased with the addition of the source, you could not tell anything about yourself. In fact, without experience, you are just an amateur talking about theory.
But, yes, my family has a small rental business in my area. Partners have found excellent suppliers who supply them with a wide variety of bakery products, and since our store is located next to a residential area, it is convenient for residents. But I would not call it big business, since taxation works far from favoring the seller.

Well, that's an article written by this guy:

Quote
Content Marketing Specialist at Palo Alto Software and runs editorial for both LivePlan and Bplans, working with various freelance specialists and in-house writers. A graduate of the University of Oregon, he specializes in SEO research, content writing, and branding.

In general, I think he has made a good compilation of ideas, what happens is but he doesn't seem to be someone who has a lot of experience building up successful businesses, but rather gathering and structuring information, which chatGPT can do for you today.

This reminds me of those finance youtubers and influencers, who actually get rich by selling you a course on how to get rich, they weren't rich before.

This reminds me of those finance youtubers and influencers, who actually get rich by selling you a course on how to get rich, they weren't rich before.

This is so popular in social media, especially on Tiktok and Youtube, there is a big demand for courses about how to get rich if we check these influencers they have many followers and they have many shares and likes, they are making money from teaching money how to get rich this is probably the best way to get rich, you do not only get rich and you've also become popular.

You have made a good post here, according to previous members (you had not shared any of your personal experience) Because personal experience is more valuable here as we all know data that you have shared must be available on the internet. So what makes it more unique than those ones? I suggest you to add your experience too.

Coming to the points you wrote, they are 100% true, as I had not started a single physical business yet instead I only started Bloggin which is also a business but to some extent only. Well, even i don't have a physical business running experience but i do have the knowledge and a little experience that I gained from other's businesses. Like my uncles and my relatives.

And i really value these points you have mentioned. But i am a little confused here, You used examples of Solar panels, Generators, etc. as if they are businesses, i think they are not businesses instead they were inventions that are sold by sellers. For a long time.

Your post needs clarification for the ones who wanted to launch their own product which had not been launched by anyone else yet (personally i have 4 plans in my mind and i am working on them). Or for those who wanted to start businesses with existing products.

Building a business doesn't have static rules like Op listed. Celebrating failure is also a way to boost a business, but people rarely abide by it or teach about it. Business changes and we should try lots of ideas, right he stated it, but it's always difficult to multi task without having a team. Tried it and felt completely exhausted, having proficient team members is a good method to strive for success in any industry. In addition, expanding a business real fast can negatively affect the growth of the business, we should always endeavor to focus mainly on the things or tools we need to work and neglect other irrelevant things like renting a big apartment for offices, on the long run it'll cost the company or business lots of capital that could have been used to run Ads or pay workers.

Starting a business may seem easy but this comes with a lot of challenges which includes the ability to survive after being established.
I came across statistics by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that stated that 20% of new businesses fail during the first two years of being open, 45% during the first five years, and 65% during the first 10 years. Starting a business is not the problem but the main issue is to sustain it until it matures. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bls.asp
Quote
🗝️🗝️Be passionate about your business idea🗝️🗝️
.
Passion drives the owner of a business to put in more effort but it should be backed up with necessary skills and expertise. I have seen many passionate business owners fail because they have passion but know little or nothing about the business.
Quote
🗝️🗝️Determine if there is a viable market for your idea🗝️🗝️
Starting a business without projected customers is useless. You should always ensure that there are people that need your goods or services before establishing the business.
Quote
🗝️🗝️Don’t quit your day job🗝️🗝️
Business takes some time before it starts making a profit. Business owners should wait until they can earn enough to take care of their needs. Quitting a job because you just started a business is a big mistake. The business should be part-time until it matures. You can hire people to run the business while you do your job.
Quote
🗝️🗝️Prepare a business plan🗝️🗝️
This should be the number one after the identification of a need or a problem. The business must first start on paper before starting physically. The business plan is the roadmap that guides the business, therefore it's important.
Quote
🗝️🗝️Find the right partners🗝️🗝️
This point depends on the nature of the business. If you can run the business alone, you don't need partners.
But if you need assistance and collaboration, then it is important to seek a viable partnership.

It is a big enough planning plan, you need to detect your finances and planning first before examining into another step, if someone who reads this is a beginner this will be very heavy because this is thought too broad, at least if you want Applying this someone already has sufficient experience and finances to compensate for some conditions outside of predictions, and this is not as easy as we read the theory, this will be useful for some people who already have a business or have a business that is run and that is a picture Good op.

I think for the presentation of this article you need to rearrange it because if you pay attention to point of point is messy or not arranged according to the stages.
What is in the article is only an outline, and we often encounter in the forum, without any actual process of the process that occurs in the field which is the reason why a business goes well.

Majority of the businessmen are doing it for profit and even at the start of what they do, it's all about profit. But focusing on that at the beginning isn't what the successful businessmen does. Yes, they solve problems and at the same time they provide quality services and products to their customers.

Depending on what they have started, you can't remove the fact that a businessman establish a business mainly for profit.

Starting slow and from a small one depending on how you're able to scale up and from there, the demand will depend also on where you're doing your business and your target customers.

Good hints for new investors who want to start their own business, but of course these are theoretical ideas that need a lot of work to turn into useful practical experience.

When we start applying theoretical ideas, we will face many practical problems that appear during the project stages, so we have to face these difficulties and overcome them.

In general, I see that the biggest problem facing new investors is the great desire to obtain immediate results. This causes a loss of patience, burning stages, and perhaps rapid failure.

What we have to consider in building a prosperous business idea is the future elasticity it has with every potential for the business to always remain relevance, but the good idea here is that people keep making new developments to ensure they solves daily human needs and tackle the arising problems also, it takes a lot of research and demands for inventing something new to solve every arising challenges in life but the way we've gone far in making a provisional offer in seing this problems solved depends on how longer they will remain of value to men and the economy, especially on instances were the economy sole depends on things we invented.

As you said, useful information in theory, but we cannot solve the problems that will arise when we start working with the information here. Work itself is a situation involving the unknown. Even if you do everything perfectly, sometimes you may not be able to generate income or the business may not achieve its purpose. There are many different factors here and we cannot find these factors in theoretical knowledge.

The investor aims to reach his goal as soon as possible or within the time he has planned. If he does not get what he wants in this time, he will face different problems.

We may always encounter difficulties, but we must be able to move forward in a planned and careful way. Sometimes, even if everything is perfect, the results may not satisfy us. Before we start work, we must prepare ourselves for such a negative outcome.

Building a business doesn't have static rules like Op listed.
I agree with you that there isn't ay static rules in building a business but, there are surely principles that governs the business environment, principles that could in a way be regarded as rules and one of those would be,
Treating your business as a separate entity, distinct from yourself otherwise you would find yourself using business money to solve private and family issues and in most cases, its not returned which eventually makes the business to suffer.

Even without static rules, some guidance still applies and those aren't far from what is listed in OP.

Great share. After long time it was needed to boost my small scale business of Pencil Carving. It’s more or less artwork selling but yeah I am grabbing an opportunity to turn it into a business. It’s small and the size is very limited. Many of them like but some of them go and buy it. But your article does mention how ideas can be generated and turned into big businesses. A simple strategy that I follow is keeping up with my social accounts, interacting with the clients both old one and upcoming one. This forms the best two way communication leading to proper conversion of the sell. It happens to be time consuming but it is the way to make a solid base and keep up with the smart work. To all those who doing a business out there, do follow the OP ideas; it does help.

And you will immediately know if your idea will survive once it is selling in the market.
It can thrive if people will continue to buy such service or product. But if it won't survive in the market, you will easily see that as well.
There are no concrete guidelines that you can follow on this, but sometimes common sense is more than enough not to go bankrupt.
Also, as a business owner, you should be open to change, or new innovations, be relevant within your market to keep up with the competition.
This is why there's no defined path for every business, one should always be on the lookout for modifications, for the business to thrive.

From what I have seen so far in the crypto world, or any other world for that matter, loving what you do is always the key point to this. I am not saying that it is not going to be a big deal, of course it is going to be a big deal, but it is going to be a bit different in the end.

I feel like there is some type of situation where it is going to be a bit different situation and we should be considering that as a big deal. Like if you really really really love your job, then you are going to probably make money, or at least even if you don't, you are going to be happier than anyone. I know a painter who paints for houses to hang it up, like regular paintings, but he does it on commission based, and he makes very little money and yet he is one of the happiest persons I know.

I agree. A lot of people who wants to venture into having their own business thinks that as long as they are making profit then they are already doing well. What they fail to consider is that the profit at the beginning of the business will slowly go away if you only focus on that. Much like yourself, you have to learn how to grow with your business and be ready for various things. Of course building a business is about money but it should be keep in mind that there are various factors that goes with it.

Even before getting into it and start following the above points one should have basic component at their hands called as “funding”. Depending on the nature of business one needs to decide funding prior to planning an idea to make it reality. This is important because adjusting funds after getting into funds could be disaster or in other words it could bring unwanted struggles on our way. I have seen this example very closely with relatives. It’s another fact that they managed to pick up a speed after bank approvals went through and they had money to spare. Rest is obviously what you mentioned in the article is all about step by step workflow to successful business.

if you are already financially stable, you will be happy to pursue your passion. however, if you are stilly trying to make both ends meet, you will be practical on things. your passion will just be secondary in this case.
i admire those people who will still pursue their passion even if they barely have decent meal on their table. but that's just personal choices.

It looks funny when someone can't walk teach others how to walk properly. I don't think Op is a successful businessman, what is written is a combination generated from ideas obtained from related sources. The post you made seems boring to anyone who reads it, there is no attachment to something as valuable as your experience starting a business from 0 to reaching a level of success. Theory alone is not enough to make the explanations that you have produced attractive in Op, it needs to be complemented by the practice that you have been running so far.

Most beginners in starting a business would probably choose a business that is on a trend since they think that if they copy other businesses they might get the same success, I mean it might actually work but most of the time it wasn't go as planned, I see a lot of business owners who try to start a coffee shop because it's kinda trendy here on my country everywhere you go you could probably find a small coffee shop business, you could probably try to learn it but it if you're not good at it it's better to find other business that will work for you, I learn that you should create a business on your field or where your good at, like for example if your good at cooking at stuff the most obvious business is a restaurant something like that. If you are good at graphics or something like that you could start a printing shop because that is just what you are good at you could put your time into that and for sure it's going to be a great business because you're already good at it and you know what you doing. You have a point we need to plan everything not just the goal of creating money.

Having a business that would go a long way doesn't mean you just have to start it up without the financial ability to get the business going. Quite alright you have a business to start up and you're ready to go, but you don't expect it to always go positive at first. There are some challenges that would pop up and your financial strength would be needed to support it if not you're going down with the business. Ones you devote your time in the business always remember that those sacrifices are part of the responsibilities you need to face before you can succeed.

I have noticed this as well. They somehow found a way to earn just by sharing a few tips here and there. What is funny is some of these influencers doesn't even have any actual background in doing and handling any business. Really smart tho, their strategy works and as long as they keep their audience engaged and interested then it will keep working for them.

In fact, being able to attract the audience to pay attention to them even in some content is a success that is not easy to get, even though the content of the content is not fully controlled by the influencer.
But it's undeniable that the current digital era is quite promising in a number of ways, including creator content that can attract a lot of enthusiasts. I think this is inseparable from technological sophistication and can be accessed by almost all people today.

The original author did great work but you did a jargon copy and paste, the author has passed his message, you should have read the article deeply and passed what you understand about the context of the article and not paste every text on the forum, with that it will help summarize original contents without plagiarism even when I see that you included the link not intending to be the original publisher but explaining it on your own terms would've made it engaging than the original content, that been said.

All business have their challenges regardless of how you give tips to make them successful, you will certainly come across some difficulty but experience and competency is what helps to bridge those wall, you may even give good tips here and you may find out that it will not be similar to real-life sense because of environmental differences, the type of economy and the government that rule where your business is operating, good points you highlighted though.

🗝️🗝️Have enough cash on hand🗝️🗝️
Cash is crucial for every business. Without it, you can’t cover your expenses, handle a financial crisis, or grow sustainably. Avoid starting your business with a loan. It doesn't look healthy for a new business. A business can look good on paper without actually being healthy. If cash is on loan, then how do you pay back when business isn't bring good profit at start.
Agree, starting a business, try not to take loans because this is not good for future business. Very many of us want to start a business but we always think about how to get big capital. looking for big capital to rent a place, looking for big capital to buy equipment. I think the most important thing is that we have to change the mindset like that, we don't need to have big capital, but how do we use small capital to be able to make a profit? Because with the small capital that we have, we will focus on what we have to be able to get profits little by little. Because for me it is not the biggest capital to build a prosperous business. Of course, it must also be accompanied by the points conveyed by Op.

If we can profit from very small capital, then our business can grow over time, and capital can be rotated again and again. Because the important capital is profit.

Theory alone is not enough to make the explanations that you have produced attractive in Op, it needs to be complemented by the practice that you have been running so far.
Agreed, when it comes to theory, everything is very easy, but when it comes to practice, it's not necessarily easy.

🗝️🗝️Don’t quit your day job🗝️🗝️
It isn't a good idea quitting ones job when establishing a business. Instead, start your business off as a side hustle. Do the groundwork of researching and testing while you still have the income to support yourself. If it takes off, look at what financial milestones you need to hit in order to go full-time. If you find that you have the financial runway to go full-time immediately and are willing to take on more of a risk, go for it. Just be sure that you have a backup plan if your business idea fails to gain traction.

Yes exactly if you are establishing a businesses then try to continue your job too because business can be handled as a part time job and there are also online business which does not need to go for work but you can continue it at a same time when you are doing your actual job.

Sometimes businesses does not allow passive income therefore if you unfortunately leave that business then you will already have job that will give you passive income. At the same time you will find another business which will be suitable for you or you will work to eliminate the things responsible for your failure in business.

With reagrds to quitting your job; it would be fine as long as you can sustain your daily expenses using your savings. You may create a period perhaps 12 months of your monthly salary should be the amount of your savings before you do so. One reason or advantage of quitting your job is to be able to focus to your business. No successful business have been taken lightly especially on its early stage. You need to build it foundation which is why you need to exert 100% of your effort into it. Sometimes it would work having a job and a business at the same time but expect that you would be spending more given that you'd be hiring someone to do it for yoy, or simply choose to embraace burnout by pushing too much of your daily energy;you decide.

If you are thinking of starting your own business, it is advisable to work as a manager, make connections and attract clients. Then you can start your business. Starting a business from scratch is virtually impossible today because of the huge competition in any field of activity

Creating a business is not a simple thing but I believe we should not complicate things too much if we are planning to set up a small store.  Just knowing that we have enough funds to open the store is enough.  Besides creating such business is not intended to solve the national or global crisis.  It is just intended to solve the neighborhood's access to some food and beverages.

I agree that if we have our stable job, it is unwise to quit it just to focus on this small venture but if our business has grown enough that it even gives us a steady 2x or more of our job pay, then I think it is time to think of a change of career and focused on our growing business.

OP, you could just link to the article where you got all your ideas from. Why decorate your post if you do not own your own experience?
I see your effort, but apart from the fact that you simply paraphrased with the addition of the source, you could not tell anything about yourself. In fact, without experience, you are just an amateur talking about theory.
But, yes, my family has a small rental business in my area. Partners have found excellent suppliers who supply them with a wide variety of bakery products, and since our store is located next to a residential area, it is convenient for residents. But I would not call it big business, since taxation works far from favoring the seller.

Op is working on the words that often says "be creative or make a constructive post" I didn't even expect this from op bases on the fact he would have only posted the conclusion of the article and then create a room for questions maybe the link would had made people to constantly click on it for them to read the full details of what that content is conveying.




However, I am replying this post based on your conclusion since the conclusion is a summary of what the body of content is saying; At some point we often understand that we must venture into business with the mindset of maybe your friend is running such a business making serious profits and you think is something you too can also handle. Let me speak it louder and clearly there is what we called a dreamed business and dreamed job, these things are what people don't usually understand and get it right that is why today many business has folder up because of the taste for money.

Like I said
A dream job is something you have been wishing to start up not because it's lucrative or they pays higher than any other sectors today but you found it pleasing and willing, suitable to operate in that field because it's somehow a kind of task or job you like right from your kid days so you had it in mind to start operating in that same field when you might have finished your educations. This kind of job you don't find it stressful, rather you are always happy doing it not because the pay is huge enough for you.

Same as the dreamed business, though I won't spend much time explaining it as it's just same as what I have explained above.
Dream business is a business you've always been seeing yourself establishing and at some point you feels whatever that made you ventured into it you find yourself like the world richest man having it in mind that it's an in-depth love, whatever that made you venture into it there's every possibilities that you will Excel because you aren't going into such business because of money but it because the passion you or they had for it. At first there must be passion then comes problems solving. Because you can't render a solution without having to love (Zeal) for such business which would likely made you to fold up because there's no love. For a successful business to stand passion and problems solving is the utmost priority.

Most people I know that built a very successful business had 3 things in common and those three things will always be the case no matter who you look into, doesn't matter if its the richest person you know, or if its just a grocery shop around the corner. First of all they were ready to take a risk, a lot of people looking for investors for their idea because they are afraid of taking a loan, go to a bank and get the highest amount of money you can, if you can't then you shouldn't even try to start a business, that would be important part, and if you can that's your capital, start something that fits that budget. Secondly they were really hard working, and I do not mean like a regular amount of hard work, its not like studying for a quiz, I mean literally working 18 hours a day but not just sitting in front of a PC, actually doing work non stop. Lastly, having people who can fill the places that you can't, this is not a must for some business ideas, but its good to have. If you can't do every part of a job, having someone else do it for you is great.

👉👉POS was introduced to help banking sector reduce bank queue arising from people who want to make deposit and withdraw.

👉👉Solar system was introduced has well to reduce the cost of fuelling your generator to get power supply.

These just like your first point and these are very wrong or maybe weird thing to say. POS is never about Bank or people making deposit and withdrawal, it's initially made to fasten the restaurant and retail payment proccess. And the SOLAR SYSTEM is as we know it, it's already exist even before humanity.
Tho your point after that was valid and kinda make sense nothing weird, but with those two point I mentioned above I don't think you quiet understand what you are writing here.

As for me, from my experience, I can't deny that it is difficult to manage a business, because you will really spend time, physical effort, and when it comes to capital, even if the investment is small, if you know how to circulate money in the business, you will definitely be able to grow it. .

And the most difficult thing is that establishing a customer page is actually not easy, and once you can establish the customer and maintain the quality service and quality of the goods of the business, for sure the regular customers will come to your business first.

starting a business, try not to take loans because this is not good for future business. Very many of us want to start a business but we always think about how to get big capital. looking for big capital to rent a place, looking for big capital to buy equipment. I think the most important thing is that we have to change the mindset like that, we don't need to have big capital, but how do we use small capital to be able to make a profit? Because with the small capital that we have, we will focus on what we have to be able to get profits little by little. Because for me it is not the biggest capital to build a prosperous business. Of course, it must also be accompanied by the points conveyed by Op.
That's only if you start a brick and mortar business, like one that is either a shop or an office, because that's how it works. But when we are talking about a situation like online business, then you are not going to need much, I could probably start the first VIP under 100 dollars if you know what you want to do. A friend of mine started a dropshipping business, I know it's a cliche, for just 200 dollars, and they handled every time from start to finish within that much money.

All in all I think if you live in 2023, you shouldn't look to start a shop right away, not as a business idea, sure if you personally want that then that's fine, aim should be starting a cafe, aim shouldn't be becoming rich, if that's your aim then online is better.

Building a successful business certainly requires a lot to learn and of course action is very important, a good roadmap without the right action will not produce anything. What the OP said is good, but without strong determination and belief, the business will not work as it should. then from the need for stages in building a business and building a brand in the business. I am not experienced in business but my brother owns a business and I learned a lot about business with him. The knowledge that I got is as follows when building a business:

stage 1 :
1. Market survey
2. Look for supply agents if product-based, Look for organizational relationships if service-based.
3. Prepare Capital (products), Prepare mentality and skills (services)
4. Build relationships if retail marketing, Land, or places that are easily accessible if services or wholesale.

stage 2 :
1. Bookkeeping/manual/computerization.
2. Management of stock, sales, and profits.
3. Monitoring.

stage 3:
1. Increase the market.
2. Market development.
3. Sales development.

stage 4:
1. Competitor self-defense.
2. Prizes.
3. Dividend yield and profit.
4. Join the new market model.

Stage 5: DIGITAL MARKETING.

I think whether it's dropshipping or selling online or opening a business offline I think it's a free variable, in building a prosperous business and increasing business expansion or valuation when you don't have a lot of money, of course borrowing/getting investment is the best choice in this situation, but before that you need to calculate the circulation of money first, because to see opportunities you need to see the flow of money, whether the business is big or small, if you see a bigger opportunity when adding capital from borrowing, of course that is the conclusion that must be taken to make a business you will be better in the future with the hope of being more prosperous.

If you only rely on the money you have, that doesn't mean you can't, but it will take quite a long time in any business aspect.

As much as you are right, i still have to state that the number one killer of a good business idea most of the time is running such business on borrowed funds, borrowing to start a business at the very initial stage is such a very bad idea to be honest with you, it is much better to borrow to expand a/the business than borrow to start it up, this is because at the initial stage of starting a business, there are many uncertainties, like not being sure how the business will do, like not being sure if the business will really sell in the area where it is, this is enough to worry about already, having to also worry about how to repay a borrowed money is just making matter worst.

So its way better to start your business with your own personal fund, have peace of mind even if the business is not doing as expected in that initial stage, in the future when things become far better than the beginning, you can borrow to expand the business if expanding becomes really important.

Unfortunately, a person who has ideas has no money to start a business, and a person who has money has few ideas about how to use that money competently. Therefore, borrowed funds are still a way out of the situation - but for this you need to have a clear business plan, as well as understand the essence of the business.

And thats the reality that we do have on this world on which to those who do have brilliant ideas but having no funds to start with will really be ending up on having that idle mode on which there's no way that you would be able to progress or make those ideas in fruition if you are really that not making any step forwards like taking up some loan to build that business or idea you do have.Yes, its a risky thing to be done but for you to be able to make yourself that progress then you should really be needing up that kind of step which is something that would be depending on a certain individual,
not all would really be risk takers and would really be just playing on the safer side but ending up on having no progress into their lives when it comes to financial.

It is really just a matter of choice on which you would really be taking, some would really be that mindful and some wouldnt really be just minding about those stuffs and contented on what
they do currently have now.

Lol OP right here gathering second-hand obvious and basic tasteless information about starting your business when they never even thought of setting up one. It's these kinds of posts that irks me cause I know they are at some levels useful, but at the same time you know it's insincere and baseless when their whole thing is to actually actuate what they are talking about and use the experience as a response. Oh well, that's life in bitcointalk for you.

In any case, and this one's not exactly from mine but from my aunt's varied attempts at setting his own meat shop in our neighborhood. During the height of the pandemic, they chose to set up a business using loans they took from our government-backed insurance company and from there, they started their own business. You would think this is some form of success story but it's not, cause just a few short months in the loans bit them back in the ass and they weren't able to turn a profit, let alone a return on the capital which lead them to stop with the business altogether. Quite sad if you'll ask me but at the same time this is a spitting evidence that there's caveats to taking up a loan for that business idea you have.

I agree. A lot of people who wants to venture into having their own business thinks that as long as they are making profit then they are already doing well. What they fail to consider is that the profit at the beginning of the business will slowly go away if you only focus on that. Much like yourself, you have to learn how to grow with your business and be ready for various things. Of course building a business is about money but it should be keep in mind that there are various factors that goes with it.

Well, yeah, money is always involved in the maintenance of a healthy business. For instance, some people set up businesses, and they think that it's only that idea that they have managed to gather and set up that can guide them through the lifetime of the business, but no, the fact that you are not the only one doing such business means that one should always be prepared and open to learning more about how to manage the business effectively and win more customers. Some people who have very successful companies today are usually Investing in themselves in terms of paying for some business and economics courses both online and offline, and they are usually busy taking those courses as long as it's something that will help them become more knowledgeable on how to handle every aspect of their business. Some so-called entrepreneurs don't know how to manage a good customer relationship; some don't also care about customer satisfaction; and some don't know how to tackle competitors. In a situation where one doesn't know all of that, one will have to pay to learn.

Let your purpose of establishing a business be on solving a problem not just to make money. If your reason to creat a business is to make money, you may get discourage within months if good profit weren't made. Establishing a prosperous business isn't easy, there’s a lot that goes into it. As you begin your business journey, keep these tips in mind, focus on planning, and take the time to test as much as possible. The more you prepare upfront, the more likely that your business will succeed.
I do agree with most of your points and they are obviously important for someone thinking to start a business, but there are a couple of points that I don't really agree with. The first point that I don't agree with is one shouldn't quit their day job before starting their own business, it might be possible in some of the cases where the business is handled by someone else at the beginning until it starts working but it doesn't work all the time because most of the times, a person starts a business individually.

The second points that I don't think is important for a business is to have a business partner, and I say that because most of the times, a business where there are more than one partners will start having issues after the business starts getting successful because people start thinking of getting more profits shares than others and that is when it starts creating issues in the business.

It shows that you are not prepared well and are not ready to give up everything to start a business. I won't believe anyone can run a business better than me because that's my idea, and I am the one who decides the success or failure of my business. If you can't quit your current job, meaning you're not ready to start and build your own business, you're not serious about being your own boss.

If in this case starting a business using borrowed money is certainly not recommended, and that is quite a dangerous action in the future because we cannot measure how much profit will be obtained or see what direction the business is moving because there is no evaluation and review material, but if someone who already has a business and has calculations and has had a lot of good studies from money circulation, business movement, of course taking a loan is something that might be more feasible in this situation.
But to borrow in the early stages is not prosperity that will be obtained but failure.

Creating a prosperous business is tough, so many try & fail. It requires careful planning and execution. Start by identifying a profitable niche and conducting market research to understand your target audience's needs and preferences.

Think about how to develop a solid business plan that outlines your goals, strategies, and financial projections. Build a strong team with skilled and motivated employees who share your vision.

Focus on delivering exceptional products or services and continuously seek feedback to improve. Invest in marketing and advertising to create brand awareness and attract customers. Maintain a strong financial management system and adapt to changing market trends. Finally, nurture customer relationships and strive for continuous innovation to ensure long-term success.

Everyone is meant to have there own business if I'm not mistaking but the challenge is that the fund might not be there to start a business since the inflation is making more people to be poor than what we are seeing now. If we want to invest in a business, we need to have a proper plan before even deciding whether we have what it takes to do that kind of business.

There are some business that need a particular location for it to be successful and if we make a mistake not going for the right location for the kind of business we want to do, we could end up not having the kind of customers that we are looking for making the business to crumble.

Even before getting into it and start following the above points one should have basic component at their hands called as “funding”. Depending on the nature of business one needs to decide funding prior to planning an idea to make it reality. This is important because adjusting funds after getting into funds could be disaster or in other words it could bring unwanted struggles on our way. I have seen this example very closely with relatives. It’s another fact that they managed to pick up a speed after bank approvals went through and they had money to spare. Rest is obviously what you mentioned in the article is all about step by step workflow to successful business.
Of course, it must be recognized that funding is essential before any business venture can be consulted. When a person makes a plan to start a business he must first raise money, and plan afterwards. of course, you are right, basically in business, it is never possible to go ahead with a loan from the bank, many times it poses a huge danger. However, in the first case, if he does business with money from a specific fund instead of taking money from the bank, then it is possible to move forward in the future. and moving forward step by step must depend on something good, so before starting the business, various plans must be made seriously.

To start a business is quite easy but to become successful and prosperous, that is something we need to work hard. Because I would say that business is not just all about having money or capital but having good management and plan had played an important role. Unfortunately, many business starters had missed this thing - with the lack of preparation, knowledge, and ideas, I can say it only fail. That is why I'd see some business owners hire someone to manage their business because they know that they are not capable enough to do it on their own.

OP, do you have experience in building a prosperous business? A personal case could be a really valuable source of knowledge, but in this case, it's basically a copy-paste with some rewriting.

CONCLUSION
Let your purpose of establishing a business be on solving a problem not just to make money. If your reason to creat a business is to make money, you may get discourage within months if good profit weren't made. Establishing a prosperous business isn't easy, there’s a lot that goes into it. As you begin your business journey, keep these tips in mind, focus on planning, and take the time to test as much as possible. The more you prepare upfront, the more likely that your business will succeed.
The goal of any business is to make money, otherwise, it is not a business, but charity. Making money comes from solving problems, that is, the first follows from the second, and not vice versa. If you don't get a good profit (within a few months? why not weeks? :) - do you want to earn too fast? :)) and you are disappointed, then this is only an indicator of your inept actions as a business leader, and not because of an erroneously chosen goal (to earn money instead of solving problems, as you say).

It is impossible to prepare for a business in advance: in the process, there will still be problems trying to undermine success, which will have to be eliminated as they arise.

I agree with you, running a company with the only purpose of making money is not going to succeed in the same way a company that has a vision. When people only work for money their motivation is not sufficient to survive longer periods of hardship, whereas people that work for a common goal will be more motivated and work harder. Creating our own company is hard work and requires a lot of sacrifice. Longer working hours and less pay during the startup phase are a big obstacle and there is no guarantee that our company will succeed. In case we are only looking for ways to make more money it might be better to stay working as an employee. With more free time and a regular paycheck we can focus on other things, like investing our money and building a crypto portfolio. There are more ways to become rich than by running our own business.

And most business owners open a business just following the trends around them. They don't think about how their business can continue even though the trend has changed. Only a few of them can survive the competition and the changing trends.

The business owner can hire someone to help him manage the business but the business owner must know everything from start to finish so that there is no possibility that his employees can do something that is not according to his wishes. But most business owners leave everything to their employees for granted. And that's what makes most businesses unable to survive because the business is losing money.

And before starting a business, business owners should have a plan for what they want to achieve, starting everything gradually and knowing the ins and outs of the business so they can think of ways to promote and grow their business. And it takes hard work, focus, faith and more.

Starting a business may seems easy but this come with alot of challenges which includes the ability to survive after being established.

Some people just start a business because they want to have a business.

This isn't enough point to start a business because a business based on this may collapse with time. When starting a business, you must put in mind that you want to solve a problem. It may be community, country or world problem. This various company have been in existence to solve various issues among people.

I don't think anyone thinks that starting a business is easy, at least speaking locally. I don't see anyone trying to start one of their day job, or preparing to take a leap of faith. I think that the reality is that people are scared to start a business, and those who think it is easy and do so without a plan are just idiots, destined to fail and learn from their mistakes (maybe, for the better, maybe not).

🗝️🗝️Be passionate about your business idea🗝️🗝️
Take action immediately an idea is been gotten. Another person may have thesame idea you have just gotten in mind. Getting into market before him/her may be an advantage.

🗝️🗝️Determine if there is a viable market for your idea🗝️🗝️
Don’t launch without testing your idea. Idea may look great to friends and families but this doesn’t guarantee that actual customers will actually love it. You need to determine if there is anyone clamoring for your solution.

🗝️🗝️Don’t quit your day job🗝️🗝️
It isn't a good idea quitting ones job when establishing a business. Instead, start your business off as a side hustle. Do the groundwork of researching and testing while you still have the income to support yourself. If it takes off, look at what financial milestones you need to hit in order to go full-time. If you find that you have the financial runway to go full-time immediately and are willing to take on more of a risk, go for it. Just be sure that you have a backup plan if your business idea fails to gain traction.

🗝️🗝️Prepare a business plan🗝️🗝️
 Creating a business plan early will make starting, managing, and growing your business easier. This is your roadmap for success that you can actively review, revise, and share. Without a plan, you’ll just be making guesses and hoping that you’ll find success.

🗝️🗝️Find the right partners🗝️🗝️
Find the right individuals to work with. This should be individuals with same objectives and goals. Working with the right individuals who complement your skillset will elevate the potential of your business.

🗝️🗝️Track finances early🗝️🗝️
Even if you’re not a numbers person, you need to track your finances. Whether it’s with spreadsheets, accounting software, or an accountant. Your financial statements need to be up-to-date and organized. This prepares you to file taxes, pitch to investors, apply for small business loans, manage credit card spending, and easily track the health of your business.

🗝️🗝️knowing your competitors🗝️🗝️
To improve your chances of successfully entering a market, you need to understand the competition. You should be able to answer questions like:
🧠Who are the key players?
🧠Who is your immediate competition?
🧠What do they offer?
🧠How do they position their product/service?
🧠Who do they target?
🧠How large is the available market?
🧠What are their weaknesses?
🧠Are there opportunities for disruption?
Competitive analysis should be embedded in your initial market research.

🗝️🗝️Pay attention to your legal needs🗝️🗝️
Part of starting a business is completing the required legal steps to turn your idea into a legitimate business. This includes defining your business structure, registering for a tax id and business name, obtaining permits and licenses, and finding out how much you’ll be paying in taxes.

🗝️🗝️Have enough cash on hand🗝️🗝️
Cash is crucial for every business. Without it, you can’t cover your expenses, handle a financial crisis, or grow sustainably. Avoid starting your business with a loan. It doesn't look healthy for a new business. A business can look good on paper without actually being healthy. If cash is on loan, then how do you pay back when business isn't bring good profit at start.

🗝️🗝️Prepare yourself mentally🗝️🗝️
Running a business isn’t easy. You’re responsible for how it performs, the people you hire, the products/services you sell, the culture you develop—the list goes on and on. While you can steer the ship, there are plenty of things beyond your control. Production errors, rising costs, supply chain disruption, competitor changes, souring consumer sentiment, etc. If you aren’t prepared for the challenges that come with the excitement of running a business, you’ll sink. It can lead to excessive stress, long working hours, and financial struggles, among other things which may lead you to being discouraged about the business and may lead to the end of the business. Don't be discourage, instead, look for opportunities to optimize, make adjustments, and grow yourself as an entrepreneur and leader.

🗝️🗝️Be creative and consistent🗝️🗝️
You need to be consistent in the time you invest, establish milestones and metrics for success, and solidify a process for reviewing performance. This doesn’t have to be perfect, but you need to set standards for yourself and your business.

CONCLUSION
Let your purpose of establishing a business be on solving a problem not just to make money. If your reason to creat a business is to make money, you may get discourage within months if good profit weren't made. Establishing a prosperous business isn't easy, there’s a lot that goes into it.

Even before getting into it and start following the above points one should have basic component at their hands called as “funding”. Depending on the nature of business one needs to decide funding prior to planning an idea to make it reality. This is important because adjusting funds after getting into funds could be disaster or in other words it could bring unwanted struggles on our way. I have seen this example very closely with relatives. It’s another fact that they managed to pick up a speed after bank approvals went through and they had money to spare. Rest is obviously what you mentioned in the article is all about step by step workflow to successful business.

There is only a few business that money doesn't really matters but if you have money, especially a nice amount, you will gain more advantage. There are some who just look for a partner or run a funding campaign and ask the public to invest on them. This might be a good idea to gain funds.

Another way is to get a loan although this one seems risky because we are not sure yet if our business will be successful or not. As on what I've noticed, only those business who are already big are the ones who take a loan but for me, I think it's not necessary anymore. Planning should still come first before anything. It's like our map so that we won't get lost in our destinations.

Of course having funds is a really great advantage when you are starting a business. Not only will you have more than enough funds to set up everything your business needs, you will also be able to have marketing projects that will surely attract customers faster. There are many ways to get funds, but you need to be smart in using those funds.

I can tell you that owning your own business feels amazing. I know it because I own a business which prints money. It gets tiresome sometimes but at the end of the day nothing beats it when I pop a cold beer while counting my profits… Ok maybe having fun with girls in the middle of the ocean beats it but let’s just say this is the second best feeling a man can experience. Working for somebody else is a dead end. Always start your own if can.

Building a prosperous business is not an easy task because it is tactical requiring on what to invest on based on people's demands, how and where to invest and trade to attract and acquires and to retain customers of patronages.

Before investing you should have an aside finance that would help you with some personal essential needs and don't believe you would so quick going to prosper budgeting your income to solve your problems at your kickstart.

Your cautiousness readiness to lost with a satisfactory priority to gain would engineers you to fit bridge the downfall of your investment.

You must stay creatively efficient and updated to the marketing skills and be endivoired to goods and services provision at all cost of demands.

Enhance and to broad your products never to settle for less with considering that most customers wants to purchase a related items in a particular unit.

Why hide behind words and run a business basically to create a much better income and that's how we can make money.

If your reason to creat a business is to make money, you may get discourage within months if good profit weren't made. Establishing a prosperous business isn't easy, there’s a lot that goes into it. As you begin your business journey, keep these tips in mind, focus on planning, and take the time to test as much as possible. The more you prepare upfront, the more likely that your business will succeed.
That's the actual process that occurs, setbacks and ups and downs in managing a business is something that usually happens when we first start out because no one can be successful without struggling through this long process. Focus, planning, strategy, promotion are parts that cannot be separated from the business we live in, when we are able to be patient and always consistent, in the end we will produce the best.

It's not easy to do all that and not everyone is able to live it, but whoever is able to be patient and stay consistent, then they will enjoy the results. It is important to see the accuracy of the business we are in and most importantly we must master the market before running the business.

There are many ways to get funds, but you need to be smart in using those funds.

Even though there are many ways to get funding to be able to run a business along with a marketing project, I don't think everyone can have the ability to get initial funding to start their business and marketing projects. Unless some of them get help from other people in certain ways so they can have capital at first, because seeking capital from the bottom is not an easy matter for everyone even though everyone's desire is to develop a business in their life.

Actually, what you said is also true and not wrong at all, because everyone must have the ability to manage and use all the funds they need for business purposes, but this can only be done by those who have received raw funds to start with. As for those who still have to struggle from scratch, I think they still need to find fresh funds while learning how to manage it well enough so that the business can run according to the plans they made or arranged beforehand.

And it's not going to become prosperous at its beginning. Establishing it is going to take a lot of time and tests and trials. Defining it prosperous will based on how the results will be and how it's going to be stable.

Before investing you should have an aside finance that would help you with some personal essential needs and don't believe you would so quick going to prosper budgeting your income to solve your problems at your kickstart.
I agree, those that are into investing should have other support so that if ever their made investment will fail, there's another source which it can help to survive. That's how you do investment so that if you've got an investment that you're believing and it's not doing good and needs some refinancing, you've got its back through your other business/investment.

When you claim to start a business without been curious about real service delivery about the area of business you want to venture in then it's natural with time you will fade away as you face the  competitive business environment having no uniqueness about your service.

A real life example is about a store across the street opposite the very building I live in. Several peoples have rented this very shop for different business purposes but either pack out within 6 months or a year after just renting. Oh business isn't moving as I expected were some of the complains that follow.

The real problem behind all these complaints could be that they just decided to jump into a particular business cause they found out someone somewhere is making so much profit from, it's not a business they had passion for, but just for the profit chase and a little challenge with profit they disappear. Same is happening to so many businesses out there.

And it's not going to become prosperous at its beginning. Establishing it is going to take a lot of time and tests and trials. Defining it prosperous will based on how the results will be and how it's going to be stable.
Of course it will not be easy and will not prosper at first, to achieve a prosperous business requires a relatively very long time, prosperity can be interpreted as getting active profits every month and can be said to be running well and stable at its peak, but before that it will definitely there are many problems and failed plans and there will be lots of evaluations in the first two years of being in business.

Before investing you should have an aside finance that would help you with some personal essential needs and don't believe you would so quick going to prosper budgeting your income to solve your problems at your kickstart.
I agree, those that are into investing should have other support so that if ever their made investment will fail, there's another source which it can help to survive. That's how you do investment so that if you've got an investment that you're believing and it's not doing good and needs some refinancing, you've got its back through your other business/investment.
This might be a good strategy to have active income to meet basic needs, and to be a back up fund when you encounter a failure, but when it comes to investment I don't understand what assumptions I should classify in this side income, because it certainly requires investment with a certain amount of funds. which is great for earning an income that can cover this need.

And it would be nice if you already get income from the business you open, even if it's small, if the position has a side job, it's better to stop and focus on the business you're building so you can concentrate more.

You only cover the other business or investment you have from your other source when that other is profitable. Of course, you'll have to support it with your other source that's been prosperous as well. But if you're going to support it with another bankrupt or losing investment or business then that doesn't make sense to support the business that you're establishing.

And it would be nice if you already get income from the business you open, even if it's small, if the position has a side job, it's better to stop and focus on the business you're building so you can concentrate more.
You have to make profit from any business that you open. But if you're starting out with that new business of yours, much better not to expect a lot from it because you're still trying to take some tests and taste of the business that you've just built. Most likely that it's not going to do well.

It’s hard if you don’t have enough management skills to run your own business. Maybe you didn’t do feasibility study on your location that result to your failure. This is sometimes the mistake of many failed business owners, They become excited on running their own business without considering how feasible their business is.

Business is like trading. You need to choose the perfect coin before you start pouring money on it. It’s really hard but once you have a better study, You can be successful.

The real problem behind all these complaints could be that they just decided to jump into a particular business cause they found out someone somewhere is making so much profit from, it's not a business they had passion for, but just for the profit chase and a little challenge with profit they disappear. Same is happening to so many businesses out there.
Picture a bot that doesn't know anything about the cryptocurrency market trying to make trades. Trading on price fluctuations is all it knows how to do. It's like shooting in the dark if you don't know anything about the market, the news, or the technology behind the coins you're investing in. The same logic applies to business, right? Now picture the same bot improving over time as it takes in feedback and adjusts to new circumstances. That is to say, changing with time. Retailers here in the UK: Capable of the Same? adjusted what they're selling, took feedback into account, and shifted their approach? Putting enthusiasm to one side, wouldn't you agree that business success is largely a matter of tenacity and flexibility? The owners of the store across the street may still be in business today if they had been more flexible and less focused on making a quick buck.

I can tell you that owning your own business feels amazing. I know it because I own a business which prints money. It gets tiresome sometimes but at the end of the day nothing beats it when I pop a cold beer while counting my profits… Ok maybe having fun with girls in the middle of the ocean beats it but let’s just say this is the second best feeling a man can experience. Working for somebody else is a dead end. Always start your own if can.

It's definitely a great feeling because there's no better job than being your own boss. But business is not easy and not everyone can do it like you. I once opened a small restaurant and I suffered a huge failure and a huge debt afterwards. It can be said that it was an unpleasant experience for me and it took me another 2 years to pay off the debt due to a loss in business. Business is not for the masses and to be successful requires many factors, not just applying the empty theories rampant on the internet today.

It’s hard if you don’t have enough management skills to run your own business. Maybe you didn’t do feasibility study on your location that result to your failure. This is sometimes the mistake of many failed business owners, They become excited on running their own business without considering how feasible their business is.

Business is like trading. You need to choose the perfect coin before you start pouring money on it. It’s really hard but once you have a better study, You can be successful.
When running a business then of course it would really be just common sense that you would really be needing to follow up those common ideas and recommendations which we know that they are really that indeed pretty basic but applying it out on the time that you are the ones who had been handling your business then it would really be a huge challenge.We know that each business doesnt really end up on being successful or being positive on which it would really be varying or depending on some factors if we do speak about those things which is something that would be a deciding factor whether you would succeed or not and some mix of luck.
Somewhat you cant really be able to find yourself on knowing the outcome unless you do try.This is why into those people who had been deciding on running a business then its good to have that aggressive approach
when it comes to marketing, although it wont really be an assurance for you to have that good outcome but at least you have tried on what are the things that supposed to be done when running a business.
You cant really just make yourself that idle or passive on this way.

I am sorry to hear your story but it looks like food industry is not for you or probably you missed something important.  I also tired to set-up a business and I also failed since I don't managed the business personally and let my friend take it over.  One thing I learned on this experience is that rarely people will be concerned on the business if they are not theirs.  Most of them will just enjoy the salary and don't care if the business will get bankrupt or not.

So it is best to be hands with the business, learn and educate oneself about the left and right of the business and study the trend and competition while implementing financial management.  It is quite a hard task but if we get familiar with it, it will be easier as time pass by.

Everything stated can be said to be very effective in doing business whether the investment is small or big capital. This steps can help a lot in business management because they are ways to avoid losses or mistakes in building a business. Many entrepreneurs don't pay attention to the simple methods mentioned by OP so most of them end up losing money or business bankrupt. If it is applied correctly, it will surely have good results for them and those who intend to do business.

Starting a business may seems easy but this come with alot of challenges which includes the ability to survive after being established.

Some people just start a business because they want to have a business.

This isn't enough point to start a business because a business based on this may collapse with time. When starting a business, you must put in mind that you want to solve a problem. It may be community, country or world problem. This various company have been in existence to solve various issues among people.

👉👉Telecommunication company came to solve communication problem.

👉👉Generator came to solve electricity issues especially among most developing countries where electricity is an issue.

👉👉POS was introduced to help banking sector reduce bank queue arising from people who want to make deposit and withdraw.

👉👉Solar system was introduced has well to reduce the cost of fuelling your generator to get power supply.

These are some keys that may guide you after a business idea has been gotten

🗝️🗝️Be passionate about your business idea🗝️🗝️
Take action immediately an idea is been gotten. Another person may have thesame idea you have just gotten in mind. Getting into market before him/her may be an advantage.

🗝️🗝️Determine if there is a viable market for your idea🗝️🗝️
Don’t launch without testing your idea. Idea may look great to friends and families but this doesn’t guarantee that actual customers will actually love it. You need to determine if there is anyone clamoring for your solution.

🗝️🗝️Don’t quit your day job🗝️🗝️
It isn't a good idea quitting ones job when establishing a business. Instead, start your business off as a side hustle. Do the groundwork of researching and testing while you still have the income to support yourself. If it takes off, look at what financial milestones you need to hit in order to go full-time. If you find that you have the financial runway to go full-time immediately and are willing to take on more of a risk, go for it. Just be sure that you have a backup plan if your business idea fails to gain traction.

🗝️🗝️Prepare a business plan🗝️🗝️
 Creating a business plan early will make starting, managing, and growing your business easier. This is your roadmap for success that you can actively review, revise, and share. Without a plan, you’ll just be making guesses and hoping that you’ll find success.

🗝️🗝️Find the right partners🗝️🗝️
Find the right individuals to work with. This should be individuals with same objectives and goals. Working with the right individuals who complement your skillset will elevate the potential of your business.

🗝️🗝️Track finances early🗝️🗝️
Even if you’re not a numbers person, you need to track your finances. Whether it’s with spreadsheets, accounting software, or an accountant. Your financial statements need to be up-to-date and organized. This prepares you to file taxes, pitch to investors, apply for small business loans, manage credit card spending, and easily track the health of your business.

🗝️🗝️knowing your competitors🗝️🗝️
To improve your chances of successfully entering a market, you need to understand the competition. You should be able to answer questions like:
🧠Who are the key players?
🧠Who is your immediate competition?
🧠What do they offer?
🧠How do they position their product/service?
🧠Who do they target?
🧠How large is the available market?
🧠What are their weaknesses?
🧠Are there opportunities for disruption?
Competitive analysis should be embedded in your initial market research.

🗝️🗝️Pay attention to your legal needs🗝️🗝️
Part of starting a business is completing the required legal steps to turn your idea into a legitimate business. This includes defining your business structure, registering for a tax id and business name, obtaining permits and licenses, and finding out how much you’ll be paying in taxes.

🗝️🗝️Have enough cash on hand🗝️🗝️
Cash is crucial for every business. Without it, you can’t cover your expenses, handle a financial crisis, or grow sustainably. Avoid starting your business with a loan. It doesn't look healthy for a new business. A business can look good on paper without actually being healthy. If cash is on loan, then how do you pay back when business isn't bring good profit at start.

🗝️🗝️Prepare yourself mentally🗝️🗝️
Running a business isn’t easy. You’re responsible for how it performs, the people you hire, the products/services you sell, the culture you develop—the list goes on and on. While you can steer the ship, there are plenty of things beyond your control. Production errors, rising costs, supply chain disruption, competitor changes, souring consumer sentiment, etc. If you aren’t prepared for the challenges that come with the excitement of running a business, you’ll sink. It can lead to excessive stress, long working hours, and financial struggles, among other things which may lead you to being discouraged about the business and may lead to the end of the business. Don't be discourage, instead, look for opportunities to optimize, make adjustments, and grow yourself as an entrepreneur and leader.

🗝️🗝️Be creative and consistent🗝️🗝️
You need to be consistent in the time you invest, establish milestones and metrics for success, and solidify a process for reviewing performance. This doesn’t have to be perfect, but you need to set standards for yourself and your business.


CONCLUSION
Let your purpose of establishing a business be on solving a problem not just to make money. If your reason to creat a business is to make money, you may get discourage within months if good profit weren't made. Establishing a prosperous business isn't easy, there’s a lot that goes into it. As you begin your business journey, keep these tips in mind, focus on planning, and take the time to test as much as possible. The more you prepare upfront, the more likely that your business will succeed.

Persistence is the key to success, many people say it and I myself can say that I have experienced it, when you believe that a venture can go far, what remains is not to give up and find a way to meet the objectives that are expected or set, and it does not only apply to business ideas, but also to other areas of life, such as wanting to travel or improve your economic status, simple things that with perseverance can be achieved. Of course, everything you want has its sacrifices, so when the determination to fulfill a dream is solidified, it is easier to establish those limitations and strategies that you mention..

Try to be up to date with what goes on in your industry. We know how the world changes regularly and if you're stuck on something others have moved past it might affect the growth of your business. It doesn't matter the industry you are in, be updated.

As on what I've noticed, only those business who are already big are the ones who take a loan but for me, I think it's not necessary anymore.

This is true, not because the start ups and small businesses don't need loans or don't apply for loans but because the banks and other financial institutions give loan to people they believe will be able to pay back with interest within the agreed period. They're in the business of making profit and some times they feel it's not worth it to take unnecessary risk on unestablished businesses.

This also goes for investors. They normally will only invest to a business that either already made a name for itself or they know will do so and make it big in the industry. As much as supporting small businesses is a great way to do, investors and lenders are in the business to make profits and therefore it is expected and understandable as to why they put most of their attention to big businesses instead.

If you want to build a business yourself, you must think a lot about that business. I thought that I decided to go into business in that case, we will never be successful in business. Generally, there are many business sectors in the world, from these many business sectors, we have to choose any business sector according to our convenience. You usually try to do related business which you understand well. You have to build your own business with your own qualifications. Seeing that someone else has succeeded in another business, I also started that business, but there is no guarantee that I will be successful. So you can't try to build a business company by looking at someone, you should always rely on yourself and build a business company related to the subject that you know more about.

Learning is a continuous process. No one knows everything. If you think I'm an amateur, all well and good but all I know is I have been using these tips for my agro- business and it has been working well for me. Although is a small farm but I plan to grow big one day.
Quite a long article you just gathered your sources from, I am curious though OP on how specifically these apply to your "small farm" business. The real reason you're building business is purely to create money/profit unless you are a non-profit organization which rely on things like donations.

There were some of coffee shops in here that serves great, but even though they're "passionate about their business ideas", they still didn't make it. There ain't even Starbucks around here that surely will crush those small businesses. Sometimes it will kinda suck for everyone to just build business and it's not for everyone to be honest.

Network also comes into play. Someone's gotta put your business into your audiences to try it out.

Try to be up to date with what goes on in your industry. We know how the world changes regularly and if you're stuck on something others have moved past it might affect the growth of your business. It doesn't matter the industry you are in, be updated.
I can imagine that this might be a disadvantage to some food stalls out there since they usually just sell or make a specific food with just a little variation. Some shawarma business out here just closed down due to people being sick of the same taste over and over.

I agree, those that are into investing should have other support so that if ever their made investment will fail, there's another source which it can help to survive. That's how you do investment so that if you've got an investment that you're believing and it's not doing good and needs some refinancing, you've got its back through your other business/investment.
This might be a good strategy to have active income to meet basic needs, and to be a back up fund when you encounter a failure, but when it comes to investment I don't understand what assumptions I should classify in this side income, because it certainly requires investment with a certain amount of funds. which is great for earning an income that can cover this need.
You only cover the other business or investment you have from your other source when that other is profitable. Of course, you'll have to support it with your other source that's been prosperous as well. But if you're going to support it with another bankrupt or losing investment or business then that doesn't make sense to support the business that you're establishing.
I understand why we don't agree in this case because you may be position oriented the person already has an investment amount that can cover he needs, and I think the position of the person you are referring to has a lot of funds in his investment which gives him income, then opens a new business with results from the investment, the thought is certainly worthy of the case you describe friends, and the people I mean are those who have hard jobs who want to open a new business for him to build from scratch.

And it would be nice if you already get income from the business you open, even if it's small, if the position has a side job, it's better to stop and focus on the business you're building so you can concentrate more.
You have to make profit from any business that you open. But if you're starting out with that new business of yours, much better not to expect a lot from it because you're still trying to take some tests and taste of the business that you've just built. Most likely that it's not going to do well.
I think it will make the development of a business that already has even a little income, it will be slow if you still have work that takes up your time, it will break your focus, but this depends on the business you actually take.

It's true. There is a big difference between businesses which are directly ran by the owners or managers from businesses which are ran by employees, especially on the restaurants' industry. Customers who are used to attend to the place instantly notice the difference on the quality and taste of the food prepared, what is really negative for the restaurant's reputation on long term, as customers will lose their trust on the service offered, especially when taking people they want to impress to eat there or during special events.

It has already happened to me when my family hosted relatives and went out to eat expecting the restaurant to offer delicious food, as it was used to do, but it was a fiasco and I immediately noticed the manager/owner wasn't there, rather only employees were operating the restaurant. Result: we aren't going to come back there again soon...

The problem here is how competent the hired person managing the business is. There is even such a position as crisis manager. It is clear that people who have previously demonstrated their competence are hired for such a position. Therefore, it cannot be said that a hired manager is unequivocally bad.

You only cover the other business or investment you have from your other source when that other is profitable. Of course, you'll have to support it with your other source that's been prosperous as well. But if you're going to support it with another bankrupt or losing investment or business then that doesn't make sense to support the business that you're establishing.

I don't think that there's disagreement. It varies from person to person about his support to the other venture that he's doing. While it's true that not all investors and businessmen have a way to support the other one that they're doing. But that's a typical thing to do to at least make that new business of theirs survive.

You have to make profit from any business that you open. But if you're starting out with that new business of yours, much better not to expect a lot from it because you're still trying to take some tests and taste of the business that you've just built. Most likely that it's not going to do well.
I think it will make the development of a business that already has even a little income, it will be slow if you still have work that takes up your time, it will break your focus, but this depends on the business you actually take.
If there's a little profit then that means there's progress right, it is going to be a slow road to take for them but as soon as they're seeing the momentum and believing in the business they establish. It only means that they're on the right path. And whatever your business are, making a profit is just going to be the last because if you've got a passion and mission through that business, it should be the priority. That's what I mostly hear from businessmen.

Your opinion is valid, but can not be generalized, that the quality of a companies product changed because its been managed by employees depend mostly on who is running the company, it depends on the personality and experience of who ever is running the company.

The same way you feel the reason for the bad food is because the real owner of the restaurant is not there, so also there are still some restaurant you will go to and discover the reason their food is bad is because the real owner of the restaurant, who also is the manager does not know how to cook, or how good food should taste like.

So running or managing a business in this context depends solely on the individual involved, their experience, level of exposure, their level of expertise at what they do , and also their zeal/willingness to do the job and do it well, whether they be the owner of the company or an employee does not really matter.

Starting a business may seems easy but this come with alot of challenges which includes the ability to survive after being established.
Even though there have been many theories that have proposed this, which have provided solutions related to building new businesses, and there have even been many promoters, motivators, and other informants who have explained in theory how to build a business to be successful, in reality, this will not be that easy. Because in practice , sometimes a lot of things happen and don't match the ideal in theory. Sometimes I have done various tricks and tips according to theory but still fail. because after all the conditions for each business may be different, not only in capital but in perseverance, environmental conditions, the accuracy of the business opened, and various other factors.

but indeed here, it does not mean that building a business is impossible because of course many people have succeeded in building a business from 0 or from another step. It's just how we run it.

I highly agree, without basic knowledge about people and financial management, the industry we are trying to enter, it is really hard to be successful.  Aside from these factors, we also need to study the competition, the trend, the psychology of the client, and many more.  As a matter of fact, others even attend workshops and seminars that have a relation to their planned business just to get a further view of what is ahead of them when establishing such kind of business.  The learning, the adaption, and innovation are never-ending.

Just this week, I looked into a business idea, something that would take me about 2-3 years to master just in case if AI takes over everything and I would have to use it and like as in general I wouldn't be able to work where I work today, as a way of finding if I could do another business if I am forced to one day. And I realized that building a business is not about money but more about hard work, its something regarding how much hours can you put into something per day, and not only that but how long can you keep it going, you can work 12 hours a day for one month, but someone who puts in 4 hours a day for a year will pass you easily, hence its tough. So its always time, both daily, but also for many years.

Building a prosperous business is not an easy task because it is tactical requiring on what to invest on based on people's demands, how and where to invest and trade to attract and acquires and to retain customers of patronages.

Before investing you should have an aside finance that would help you with some personal essential needs and don't believe you would so quick going to prosper budgeting your income to solve your problems at your kickstart.

Your cautiousness readiness to lost with a satisfactory priority to gain would engineers you to fit bridge the downfall of your investment.

You must stay creatively efficient and updated to the marketing skills and be endivoired to goods and services provision at all cost of demands.

Enhance and to broad your products never to settle for less with considering that most customers wants to purchase a related items in a particular unit.
The burden of identifying a business and growing it to reliable standard does not lie in maintaining the business or how many hours of your time you give to the business. The success of a given business lies majorly on the idea behind the business. So many people would have easily started a business, but you need to identify a niche which has not been totally harnessed. That burden of getting a new business idea is where the problem lies. Anyone who is able to develop a lucrative business idea and give it a little more attention and time would be successful.

On the other hand, many people do not struggle much to build a good business idea, rather, they will fall into competition with their friends and colleagues who started similar business even in the same environment. To be exceptional you have to do exceptional things and this applies so well in business.

Even if we have a good job, we should create a business of our own. A job is never permanent a job means working under someone else they will pay you as long as you can work for them but they will not pay you if your performance decreases due to physical illness or any other reason. If you try to set up your own business along with the job and if you can spend some labor or time behind that business, it will be seen that the business will go to a good state, when your business will go to a good state, but there is no need to work under someone else. Not necessarily but for that business you can create employment of some people. We should all think like this. Regardless of the profession we are involved in, we need to have an alternative or a business of our own so that we can support ourselves better from our own business in times of danger.

Actually most of the cases when someone have two sources of income, one from working under someone company and another one from small business, the small business mostly not making any profit or even reach break even point. Run a business is only profitable in the first month where majority of the customers are your family, friend and relative, the reality of your business is happen when your customers are strangers.

Most people making money through their profession and spend it mostly for their business which they never know when it will success.

Not everyone can become a businessman, make sure you've learn something that you can work as a freelancer.

CONCLUSION
Let your purpose of establishing a business be on solving a problem not just to make money. If your reason to creat a business is to make money, you may get discourage within months if good profit weren't made. Establishing a prosperous business isn't easy, there’s a lot that goes into it. As you begin your business journey, keep these tips in mind, focus on planning, and take the time to test as much as possible. The more you prepare upfront, the more likely that your business will succeed.
Building a business to grow more rapidly is not an easy job, it takes a lot of money, skills and relationships as the driving force. Money is intended for capital and promotions that are carried out, while relationships are another important part as a support. The business must also be adjusted to the wishes of the customer and the provisions of the business must also be able to be reviewed before being developed. For example, if someone is building a business in the hotel sector, what must be seen is whether the place where the business we are developing has potential or not, because we need to look at accuracy and necessity.

Usually the hotel sector will develop when the area becomes the focus of tourists because there are unique things that attract tourists to visit the place. One of the attractions has natural beauty, exotic sea, culture and culinary which is quite famous so that it becomes the target of tourists when visiting the place. Business must also be seen as related to thoroughness and when we are forced to build something that is not needed then the business we are in will not develop.

The subject matter requires detailed discussion. In order to start a good and prospering business, you must have a clear business idea and a solid plan so that you can start your business according to your goals and create a better platform for others.
 Another thing is that it is important for an intelligent businessman that his brand and business activities are at an optimum level, and one should provide good service to the customers with full attention.

Additionally, regularly monitor your performance and analyze the ground realities to improve more. Finally, the most important thing is to never let your morale down, always do with determination and enthusiasm in achieving your goals, so that you clear all difficulties in your way and become a known person in the market..

It's true. There is a big difference between businesses which are directly ran by the owners or managers from businesses which are ran by employees, especially on the restaurants' industry. Customers who are used to attend to the place instantly notice the difference on the quality and taste of the food prepared, what is really negative for the restaurant's reputation on long term, as customers will lose their trust on the service offered, especially when taking people they want to impress to eat there or during special events.

It has already happened to me when my family hosted relatives and went out to eat expecting the restaurant to offer delicious food, as it was used to do, but it was a fiasco and I immediately noticed the manager/owner wasn't there, rather only employees were operating the restaurant. Result: we aren't going to come back there again soon...
The business should be care by the owner directly,So that the business will be very good.Because the Manager is not the owner,So he won’t give his full cent percentage of participation until he get financial benefits from them.Now the many business holding businessman use the Manager to control their different business,but the most of the Manager use the company for their own benefit.The best thing is needed to hire a good manager for your business as compared to hire a employees.Because manager role is more next to owner.

They do not have skin in the game and as such they can allow the business to not do as well as they still receive the same salary either way, so why overwork themselves when they can take a more relaxed attitude towards their job and still make the same amount of money? Then anyone that is thinking about starting their own business needs to be ready to manage it themselves for a very long time, otherwise if they delegate their responsibilities too soon then their business could easily come crashing down and they could lose all the work and money they invested in it.

Perhaps more precisely is to have more sources of income if you do not want to fall into poverty more quickly.

That view may be correct from a financial perspective - I mean the more sources of income you have the more opportunities you have to sustain your financial condition longer. It's always difficult if you have only one source of income - it's too risky to build a better financial status considering the need for money has increased following inflation.

This is what we called side hustle that will soon turn into your main source of income once you succeed managing it and yes there's no problem on doing this. The only challenge is that, its not easy to have your business as it requires your full attention and I've done this before and failed many times already. If you really want to make extra income, they keep on trying and one day once you already have the skills and experience, you know already what's business that works for you.

If you are on a situation on which you are heavily depending on your paycheck then it would really be just that wise that you should really be mindful when it comes to making some investment because on the time that it

would really be able to make some revenue or income which is bigger than on your current job then sooner or later you would really be finding yourself on having that financial freedom because this what everyone is really that wishing for on which on having that financially free on having no problem when it comes to this matter on which this is why it would really be that worth on having  this kind of plans on which it would
really be giving out that kind of chances but of course not everyone who would really be that successful but at least you would really be having that kind of chance when it comes on risks taking
rather than on having nothing at all.

Even though there have been many theories that have proposed this, which have provided solutions related to building new businesses, and there have even been many promoters, motivators, and other informants who have explained in theory how to build a business to be successful, in reality, this will not be that easy. Because in practice , sometimes a lot of things happen and don't match the ideal in theory. Sometimes I have done various tricks and tips according to theory but still fail. because after all the conditions for each business may be different, not only in capital but in perseverance, environmental conditions, the accuracy of the business opened, and various other factors.

but indeed here, it does not mean that building a business is impossible because of course many people have succeeded in building a business from 0 or from another step. It's just how we run it.
Yes, it's very easy for us to get a theory about business on the internet as you describe, and indeed building a business or starting a business that adheres to action or action is the key to success. As much as possible, avoid planning too long or dwelling on excessive details. Start acting with what is there and slowly develop according to the time and resources we have.

Even though the business we have is still small, the point is we have a business. so develop our business in a sporty and professional manner, don't be afraid to fail, take big risks, be confident, and try, even if you fail don't give up, keep trying and trying. Because losses in business are bound to occur, therefore we must develop and be passionate about building a business in earnest.

Agreed, rather than waiting for the business to be big starting at the earliest with the resources available is the best choice. This will help with development of business over time. Nowadays the business is much about how we market our product and stand away from the rest of the business people is what makes you the best. It is really good to start small and progress gradually than starting big and putting more pressure to reach big targets from the very beginning.

Learning is a continuous process. No one knows everything. If you think I'm an amateur, all well and good but all I know is I have been using these tips for my agro- business and it has been working well for me. Although is a small farm but I plan to grow big one day.
Quite a long article you just gathered your sources from, I am curious though OP on how specifically these apply to your "small farm" business. The real reason you're building business is purely to create money/profit unless you are a non-profit organization which rely on things like donations.

There were some of coffee shops in here that serves great, but even though they're "passionate about their business ideas", they still didn't make it. There ain't even Starbucks around here that surely will crush those small businesses. Sometimes it will kinda suck for everyone to just build business and it's not for everyone to be honest.

Network also comes into play. Someone's gotta put your business into your audiences to try it out.
I think the biggest thing that could consider being a good business would be hard work, and if he works hard on a farm, he  could make profit too. I have seen farmers who calculate literally inch of the seed they should plant based on how their farm is and how well it looks, they use technology and apps, they even have farming equipment that plants those seeds at the optimum place as well to grow as good as it gets and they work like hell to make it happen, they spend a good amount of money as well but they make much more than the other person who doesn't do any of it.

And I have seen people who just trust their gut and do it without knowing much about any of that information, they just use experience, and they end up not making as much money.

It is truly a good and smart way if we have multiple plans as we go for business. It will be hard not to know what the next step is once our initial plan fails. Hence, it is suggested that various plans for different possible outcomes are made just to ensure that the business will have a good foundation. A smart and flexible planning is really a good tip in building a prosperous business.

If the situation is like that we face then sometimes we also have to keep up with the times by offering businesses on several online sites available. This strategy is also a step as a method to reach buyers because people do not need to go to the shop and simply order on the available online services. Price competition becomes a problem and if we are unable to adjust, the business we live will be empty of buyers. The accuracy of the business and time we must also be able to follow and adjust because it is a way that the businessman must do.

That is why every entrepreneur must try to adjust because many online services that sell the same items at a cheaper price. Who cannot adapt and cannot adjust to the times in offering products to the business that is done, it will experience a decline and in the end we must stop because we cannot compete with other business people.

Adapting to the times or adjusting what is being sold to make it look more modern is one thing that must be done.
But that's not what's important, even though we have adjusted but if we don't have innovation and creativity then it won't affect us.

As business people, we also have to take advantage of every opportunity and provide the best service, people will be happy if they get good service.

and for goods or services sold, of course, the price must be more competitive, able to compete and not reduce the market price too much.
Need to do some research to determine it.

nowadays there are many online shops that make it easy to buy anything at low prices, so we have to see how the online market can develop, so we also need to follow it.

I myself have a Wifi Voucher Service business, and it has been running for about 4 years.
I always put the service and reliability of my wifi products first, so that customers can be satisfied with the service Wi-Fi used.
If there is a problem, I will definitely deal with it as soon as possible.

You’re in business not to compete but yo offer your unique services and products. If you focus too much on the competition, you might lose sight of what is really of the essence and that is, the much goods you can offer and of great quality too.
One thing is for sure, there is always going to be that one person, one investor, one innovative individual that might seem better than yourself, have all the resources and human power to push his profits or services ahead of everyone else but, that shouldn’t be a discouragement but rather, a motivation to do even better and look out for means to get to the heart of your customer. Increase your customers support lines and be sure to draw your customers close by listening to there complaints, conducting surveys and get better result out of what your offering.

Above all we should start business in which we have knowledge and we should be able to take it forward even when the trusted employees or the top management wasn't good enough to handle. A person who have got good knowledge in automotive industry starting a cloth business doesn't look fair. We do business to make money, however this shouldn't be completely money focused we should start business on what we know and get going even when there is no big movement. It takes time to popularise and get established. Until then it is hard time in business.

Innovation and creativity are also part of the adjustments that make our business much more attractive. For traditional business people, keeping up with the times may be a little inconvenient because they do not understand technology so that it will be difficult for them to adjust to the times.

As business people, we also have to take advantage of every opportunity and provide the best service, people will be happy if they get good service.
This is one strategy that I often see when our parents used to serve customers and when the service we provide is satisfactory they will return to our place of business. The old adage says that the customer is king and maybe this is the key.

nowadays there are many online shops that make it easy to buy anything at low prices, so we have to see how the online market can develop, so we also need to follow it.
For conditions like this, it will be very difficult for traditional traders to keep up and there are many shops in the area where I live that have to close because they cannot compete with online services. Most people aged over 50 years and over will find it difficult to keep up with the times and if they don't try to change the pattern, what happens is that they have to close their shops because there are no buyers.

That is one form of service that is expected and when customers feel there is a problem and we solve it quickly, people will be satisfied with the service we provide. I also have a friend who is a computer repair service technician and he is willing to be on the phone, come directly to the crowd to repair damaged laptops, until now his work has never been quiet and every day he has a job.

Traditional trade is indeed in decline and people are more interested in online stores because more goods are available and prices are cheaper.
Inevitably now it must keep up with the times.

Some older people over the age of 50 even have their own online stores because they started learning and were directed by their children or even learned it themselves. However, the development to the modern era must be followed, otherwise, it will be one step behind others.

That is one form of service that is expected and when customers feel there is a problem and we solve it quickly, people will be satisfied with the service we provide.

Service is number one, it will indeed generate positive feedback from customers and will spread to others.
If our image is good as a service provider or a good seller, then many customers will come.

The point is, building a successful and prosperous business must be viewed from all aspects.
The business will survive if we are able to develop it well and provide the best service and competitive prices and there are several guarantees provided.

I still see lots of people in traditional business.  I do not think that it is in decline even though online business is growing.  There are still lots of door-to-door sellers, people who set up restaurants, stores, and many other things with physical locations.  Aside from that, many online sellers have their own physical stores somewhere.  And I think the best reason why I think that traditional businesses are not in decline is that not all entrepreneurs have the ability to set up an online shop.

They never in decline or in decrease in numbers because not everything do really ran online aspects on which those traditional physical places or business would really be still on existence and something that do progress or flourishing out even more. There's different market on every space whether physical or online and it is really just that normal that there would be business owners whom  would really be focusing on where they do see those
opportunities for them to make some income or revenue whether online or offline. The risks on taking up such business then there's no assurance that you would succeed out because everything would really vary or basing up on the demand on such product or services that you are offering and one of the main risks is having those tough competition in between on which you would really be trying out to get those marketshare as much as you could and its normal for a business to have that competition on which it is really just that important that you do really know on how to handle up yourself and do know on what are the things that you should do
on situations like this.

Even if you have an online business, you still need to have a store or warehouse because not all customers buy online. I agree, I don't see any signs that traditional businesses are declining but simply that they are upgrading and combining. The stores are both offline businesses and online businesses combined will be more effective.

This isn't enough point to start a business because a business based on this may collapse with time. When starting a business, you must put in mind that you want to solve a problem. It may be community, country or world problem. This various company have been in existence to solve various issues among people.

Well, That! requires massive amount of money for sure. The risk involve is massive as well. Finding a solution to struggles in life may be the best kind of business that would most likely going to take off, but other big business did not actually solved problem or provided a solution to the problem. Instead, they just copied that solution and tried to rival the other business with the same model. How clever is that idea?
If things does not work for you, maybe other things that already existed may work for you, you will just need to tweak a little something with that business model to make it work.

CONCLUSION
Let your purpose of establishing a business be on solving a problem not just to make money. If your reason to creat a business is to make money, you may get discourage within months if good profit weren't made. Establishing a prosperous business isn't easy, there’s a lot that goes into it. As you begin your business journey, keep these tips in mind, focus on planning, and take the time to test as much as possible. The more you prepare upfront, the more likely that your business will succeed.
Again, if things won't work out to you when you try to solve problems and create a business with that solutions, try rivaling the other business models.
Another thing is, business is always about money, no matter how passionate you are about something that you turn into profit, at the end of the day you will always want to count on the gains from all of your sacrifices and sweat.

Building a business is certainly everyone's dream, when a problem occurs, for example, many people think to close the business so that the dream must stop, the current economic conditions certainly make us must be creative to build a long -term business because business competition is very tight.

Traditional trade is indeed in decline and people are more interested in online stores because more goods are available and prices are cheaper.
Inevitably now it must keep up with the times.

Some older people over the age of 50 even have their own online stores because they started learning and were directed by their children or even learned it themselves. However, the development to the modern era must be followed, otherwise, it will be one step behind others.
Therein lies the weakness of traditional traders who do not master technology and it will be quite troublesome for them to keep up with the times. For example, buying a set of men's clothing at a traditional trader requires as much as 500 thousand (as an example) and if we buy at an online service no more than 300 thousand, people will automatically choose to shop at online services to get the desired price.

That's a phenomenon I see a lot especially in my area and there are a lot of traditional traders who are struggling to keep up. Lucky if they are assisted by their children, but there are many children today who are not interested in helping develop their father's business and maybe there are many considerations that never make sense as their reasons.

Service is number one, it will indeed generate positive feedback from customers and will spread to others.
If our image is good as a service provider or a good seller, then many customers will come.

The point is, building a successful and prosperous business must be viewed from all aspects.
The business will survive if we are able to develop it well and provide the best service and competitive prices and there are several guarantees provided.
There are many aspects that can help our business grow, good service, offering bonuses and promotions are important parts that cannot be separated. Maintaining good quality and service will be much more difficult because we are required to be consistent in maintaining it, a good image is not achieved when the business does not do something that is more on target. Competing will be much more difficult when business people do not have skills and innovation as supporting factors and this is where a balance is needed to keep up with the times.

Building a business that can become a giant company in the future certainly requires patience, many successful people tell stories that when starting a business they have experienced hundreds or even thousands of failures, but with strong determination and positive motivation that the business will become big they can be patient.
Patience will not work without a clear forward-looking vision of the state of the market and the economy in the medium and long term, which can help us know how long we should be patient. In general, this depends on the nature of the project's activity and the current situation in the market.
For example, take the Spacex project that Elon Musk launched years ago. This project is supposed to achieve revenue through the success of launching commercial flights into space. Implementing this vision is never an easy matter, and the project has consumed huge budgets to this day and is still consuming more in the hope that one day soon (no one knows when) the idea will succeed and the revenues will cover all costs. The shock may be great for everyone if the project proves to be unprofitable, especially with the rise of competing companies in the same field.

You made a crucial point about waiting, looking ahead, and the market. Like tightrope walking? One error will bring you down. We must walk that way to cross. SpaceX is intriguing because it spends money quicker than a rocket consumes fuel, yet the potential return is "astronomical." Risks, competition, and rewards exist. But not everyone is willing to take this risk. That's OK. Many other chances are faster and safer. Follow your finest path.

Competition would be always there and  on every business then it would really be that just not surprising that there would be ones who would be coming up with the same idea and things in mind on which it would really be given or been

offered out too on the market on which it would be simply having that kind of competition on which it would be giving out that chances that making getting that huge marketshare in against with your own offerings or business idea too.
In every business, then it wont really be giving out that kind of assurance that you would succeed because spending or budget on making things that you do offer doesnt guaranteed out on having that success no matter how long you've been dealing with it but still there's no way on knowing that you would be able to get such recognition but in speaking on the example about Elon then he might be spending up billions on the project that he had been making but
doesnt mean that they would fail out automatically.It is really just that they are might not still able on completely integrating it or still on the process that they are really that still working before the actual utility comes.

In building a prosperous business, one of the most important considerations is the financial capacitation for making an establishement which will require steady funding more than you ever expect because that's what is going to sustain the business together with the adopted model of operations designed for the business to follow, if we fo by the required standard and procedures for business development we will then arrived at an average performance for the first time and that could help the business sustainable through the process as it continues.

Even if you have an online business, you still need to have a store or warehouse because not all customers buy online. I agree, I don't see any signs that traditional businesses are declining but simply that they are upgrading and combining. The stores are both offline businesses and online businesses combined will be more effective.
I agree with you, about having an offline store or at least a place for a customer to buy offline.
A small shop or a place where goods are sold. Because it will also give good feedback about the location.
People are also starting to search through the store address and give ratings on Google Maps. That's pretty good marketing too.

Offline stores are also needed as a requirement that you have an MSMEs ( Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises) so that you will get some special services from government programs because you are a Small Medium Business actor.

Personally, I prefer to go shopping in person if it is an important product and needs a hands-on experience. Buying online does not always satisfy us.
Yes, this depends on the item to be purchased. If you are selling a cake or a bicycle, you will certainly need hands-on experience so that you will know which is the best choice.
Buying online is not always satisfactory, I have experienced it several times.
But it depends on where you buy it.

That's why proper fund allocation is essential along with that is extra funds, and emergency funds for operation. Because for every business, that is not always every day will be a profit day. Not every time will have sales. So when every time you have a down day, or no sales at all those funds will help you continue your business. As long business is running, profits will continue to come in.

Too many businesses focus on their image, on their marketing and appearance. Too little does on fund distributions.

I would just like to add both long-term and short-term planning should be taken into consideration. These short-term goals will serve as the key player to achieving your long-term goals. For example, after 1 year, you would like to double your net income compared to the prior year. What are the activities that we can do to support this? Set monthly goals such as developing an advertising strategy to widen your market and study online platform promotions.

Also, I can still recall what I had learned in my business course when I was still studying, which also applies even to your personal goals. The SMART Move Acronym. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-based) Listing down these factors will also help you in outlining your business goals.

Absolutely, having the capital and eagerness to start a business is not sufficient without proper business planning. You need to consider even the tiniest detail of your business. You need to have a plan B whenever plan A does not seem to work. Business requires your time, effort, skills, and a lot of patience. Exerting such, will help the probability of your business to move forward.

Having an outline allows us to know what to prioritize and what can be done optionally. Moreover, it also gives us a window to create backup plans as we can foreshadow what problems and issues may possibly occur in our business.

In such cases when the waiting period is long before achieving profits, the length of that period can help competitors who joined at a later time benefit from experience that cost years and budgets. Just as SpaceX benefits from NASA's experiences in sending manned flights into space, startup companies also benefit from their experience, especially from their failures. Currently, China is considered one of the fiercest competitors in this sector, especially after it developed its capabilities in building and launching missiles and satellites, in parallel with the in-depth and intensive studies for the discovery of the moon. What I wanted to say is that SpaceX could find itself lagging behind in time if the period of studies and experiments was prolonged for a longer time.

Agree. The main mistake that business people have to make to survive is how to manage finances to remain stable. Because if your finances are not stable, the business you are running will not last long, initially increasing your capital by going into debt until you are unable to pay the debt, and in the end, the business goes bankrupt. Therefore it is important to manage finances in a business so that the business can be sustainable.
1) Always record finances.
2) Always separate personal expenses.
3) Always look at financial data.
4) Try not to record finances manually.

What happens the most when combining personal income with business income? Many people do business but do not develop because they think the result of their business is personal wealth. As a result, when the business is sluggish, you cannot get employee salaries. Other difficulties in this business are not far from the difficulties in handling even nonsensical customer complaints and finding consistent partner agents or distributors.


Title: Re: Building a prosperous business
Post by: lizarder on August 04, 2023, 10:26:20 AM
1) Always record finances.
In business everyone is obliged to make a cash book so that they can evaluate at any time regarding the profits and costs of spending additional capital and it is an obligation that is needed by business people.

2) Always separate personal expenses.
The second point will be very complicated when someone only depends on the business to make ends meet, children's school fees and other unforeseen costs, and I want to know how you try to maximize this problem? Is there a special path that you apply?

3) Always look at financial data.
Financial data should be combined with recording in the books, so that an evaluation can be made every year regarding the deficiencies in the business we are in and I think this point can be combined with point number one.

4) Try not to record finances manually.
For the last point I agree if people are able to record finances in a measurable way and don't do it manually it would be much better. But back to a person, do they master patterns outside the manual or not? because there are many business people whose over 50 years old and still use the manual way to record their finances and can also be considered successful because they have their own way.

To build a good business, it must be based on quite in-depth research and cannot be careless. we see the problem and try to make a renewable innovation that can be a solution to the problem. After we have the innovation and test it several times and it works. Only then can we boldly turn it into a business that will certainly be of immediate interest to people because the business services we offer are meant to be an antidote to the problems that exist in most potential customers. But to get an innovative business idea is not easy. It takes a long process of thought and research. But when successful, we can feel success in the business.

Business is always full of competition, without competition the consumers and retailer can not express their thoughts toword the products in the market, no business without competition just like Bitcoin and altcoins investors invest in bitcoin with bigger capital than altcoins, although the price of Bitcoin is higher than altcoins.
Without competition the market will not have good quality products, so as a POS business director always record finance data and expenses because it will help you to know if the business is profiting you or you are lossing.

Agreed, rather than waiting for the business to be big starting at the earliest with the resources available is the best choice. This will help with development of business over time.
The best way to start a business is to start small. When you start small you'll get you'll gather a lot of experience and that will prepare you for when the business is big. If a person has never handled a business, it's going to be very difficult to handle a big business as your first business. Learning theories is not all there is to succeed in a business, experience is very necessary.

Nowadays the business is much about how we market our product and stand away from the rest of the business people is what makes you the best.

What you have said is very good and can help, bits it's easier said than done. If you're in a line of business that is very popular and has so many competitors, it's going to be very hard to stand out. It's going to need a lot of work and maybe, funding.
Being the best requires a lot from you because you're not the only one trying to be the best in that business. People going into a business have to know this.

What you say is very appropriate for all business people in this world because they must always realize that every business has competition. So those who already have their own products through their business must be able to evaluate their products every month through sales and also the results of usage from their own consumers.

Likewise in the crypto space where competition between altcoins is always there and there are even altcoins that really want to compete with Bitcoin even though altcoins will never win in that regard, and the advice you gave I think is appropriate enough to see the level of loss or profit that can be obtained by every businessman.

Competition is something that we cannot avoid in the business world. Because competition will always exist in any field. There are several benefits that occur when a business field has a high level of competition. That is, every company will try its best to improve quality and be better than its competitors. In fact, an innovation is often created as a result of encouragement from intense competition. In fact, competition is also good at holding back the pace or even stopping price manipulation that can harm consumers. But when a business in an area has no competitors. So a business company that is the only one in that area could play with prices and take more profits without worrying about consumers leaving. Because there really is no other place that can be used as a destination by consumers in the area. Competition does make business difficult. but did create some positives in it.

Too many businesses focus on their image, on their marketing and appearance. Too little does on fund distributions.
I believe every business has contemplated this aspect from the very inception, even before they have established their ventures. Financial planning forms the fundamental bedrock for business growth, as all enterprises commence with the inflow of capital. Naturally, business practitioners will allocate their funds towards various business interests. Though not flawless, this process is an integral part of the developmental journey.

For small-scale startups, the owner assumes the role of manager as well, wielding complete control over all financial flows. On the other hand, larger enterprises engage more competent individuals as managers, responsible for orchestrating the financial flow, while the owner focuses on strategic aspects.

Starting a business may seem easy but this comes with a lot of challenges which include the ability to survive after being established.

Some people just start a business because they want to have a business.

This isn't enough point to start a business because a business based on this may collapse with time. When starting a business, you must put in mind that you want to solve a problem. It may be a community, country, or world problem. These various companies have been in existence to solve various issues among people.

👉👉Telecommunication company came to solve communication problems.

👉👉 Generators came to solve electricity issues, especially among most developing countries where electricity is an issue.

👉👉POS was introduced to help the banking sector reduce bank queues arising from people who want to make deposits and withdraw.

👉👉Solar system was introduced as well to reduce the cost of fuelling your generator to get power supply.

These are some keys that may guide you after a business idea has been gotten

🗝️🗝️Be passionate about your business idea🗝️🗝️
Take action immediately after an idea is been gotten. Another person may have the same idea you have just gotten in mind. Getting into the market before him/her may be an advantage.

🗝️🗝️Determine if there is a viable market for your idea🗝️🗝️
Don’t launch without testing your idea. The idea may look great to friends and families but this doesn’t guarantee that actual customers will love it. You need to determine if anyone is clamoring for your solution.

🗝️🗝️Don’t quit your day job🗝️🗝️
It isn't a good idea to quit one's job when establishing a business. Instead, start your business off as a side hustle. Do the groundwork of researching and testing while you still have the income to support yourself. If it takes off, look at what financial milestones you need to hit to go full-time. If you find that you have the financial runway to go full-time immediately and are willing to take on more of a risk, go for it. Just be sure that you have a backup plan if your business idea fails to gain traction.

🗝️🗝️Prepare a business plan🗝️🗝️
 Creating a business plan early will make starting, managing, and growing your business easier. This is your roadmap for success that you can actively review, revise, and share. Without a plan, you’ll just be making guesses and hoping that you’ll find success.

🗝️🗝️Find the right partners🗝️🗝️
Find the right individuals to work with. This shouThesee individual with the same objectives and goals. Working with the right individuals who complement your skillset will elevate the potential of your business.

🗝️🗝️Track finances early🗝️🗝️
Even if you’re not a numbers person, you need to track your finances. Whether it’s with spreadsheets, accounting software, or an accountant. Your financial statements need to be up-to-date and organized. This prepares you to file taxes, pitch to investors, apply for small business loans, manage credit card spending, and easily track the health of your business.

🗝️🗝️knowing your competitors🗝️🗝️
To improve your chances of successfully entering a market, you need to understand the competition. You should be able to answer questions like:
🧠Who are the key players?
🧠Who is your immediate competition?
🧠What do they offer?
🧠How do they position their product/service?
🧠Who do they target?
🧠How large is the available market?
🧠What are their weaknesses?
🧠Are there opportunities for disruption?
Competitive analysis should be embedded in your initial market research.

🗝️🗝️Pay attention to your legal needs🗝️🗝️
Part of starting a business is completing the required legal steps to turn your idea into a legitimate business. This includes defining your business structure, registering for a tax id and business name, obtaining permits and licenses, and finding out how much you’ll be paying in taxes.

🗝️🗝️Have enough cash on hand🗝️🗝️
Cash is crucial for every business. Without it, you can’t cover your expenses, handle a financial crisis, or grow sustainably. Avoid starting your business with a loan. It doesn't look healthy for a new business. A business can look good on paper without actually being healthy. If cash is on loan, then how do you pay back when the business isn't bringing good profit at the start?

🗝️🗝️Prepare yourself mentally🗝️🗝️
Running a business isn’t easy. You’re responsible for how it performs, the people you hire, the products/services you sell, the culture you develop—the list goes on and on. While you can steer the ship, there are plenty of things beyond your control. Production errors, rising costs, supply chain disruption, competitor changes, souring consumer sentiment, etc. If you aren’t prepared for the challenges that come with the excitement of running a business, you’ll sink. It can lead to excessive stress, long working hours, and financial struggles, among other things which may lead you to be discouraged about the business and may lead to the end of the business. Don't be discouraged, instead, look for opportunities to optimize, make adjustments, and grow yourself as an entrepreneur and leader.

🗝️🗝️Be creative and consistent🗝️🗝️
You need to be consistent in the time you invest, establish milestones and metrics for success, and solidify a process for reviewing performance. This doesn’t have to be perfect, but you need to set standards for yourself and your business.


CONCLUSION
Let your purpose of establishing a business be on solving a problem not just to make money. If your reason to create a business is to make money, you may get discouraged within months if good profits weren't made. Establishing a prosperous business isn't easy, there’s a lot that goes into it. As you begin your business journey, keep these tips in mind, focus on planning, and take the time to test as much as possible. The more you prepare upfront, the more likely that your business will succeed.

Wow, I love your article, and I love the fact you pointed out how a lot of people go into business solely to make a profit. That's true. Even statistics show over 90% of businesses don't last 5 years. A lot of business personnel are so focused on making a profit, they forget that people won't spend on things that won't add value to them. Everyone is constantly looking for solutions to their problems. You bring a solution, you get a pay. Thank you for the knowledge you've shared.

Business is always full of competition, without competition the consumers and retailer can not express their thoughts toword the products in the market, no business without competition just like Bitcoin and altcoins investors invest in bitcoin with bigger capital than altcoins, although the price of Bitcoin is higher than altcoins.
Without competition the market will not have good quality products, so as a POS business director always record finance data and expenses because it will help you to know if the business is profiting you or you are lossing.
Competition is something that we cannot avoid in the business world. Because competition will always exist in any field. There are several benefits that occur when a business field has a high level of competition. That is, every company will try its best to improve quality and be better than its competitors. In fact, an innovation is often created as a result of encouragement from intense competition. In fact, competition is also good at holding back the pace or even stopping price manipulation that can harm consumers. But when a business in an area has no competitors. So a business company that is the only one in that area could play with prices and take more profits without worrying about consumers leaving. Because there really is no other place that can be used as a destination by consumers in the area. Competition does make business difficult. but did create some positives in it.

Competition is not always good. A stronger business than you will sometimes change its prices, beat you in the competition, and cause you a loss. Competition is usually good for the customer. Due to competition, it becomes much easier for customers to reach higher quality and cheaper products. The customer benefits from this. However, in addition to the positive aspects of being competitive, there are also negative aspects for businesses. Especially the unfair competition practices of large companies leave many businesses in a difficult situation.

In terms of businesses, competition is positive if the financial strength of both parties is the same.

Competition for customers is often in the interests of customers.

You are right. Customers are the ones who benefit the most from the intense competition that occurs within the business sector or in the business market. Because well, as you said, the company will try to create quality goods but at prices that can compete in the (cheap) market. As recently, there are many cheap cellphones with high specifications that beat their competitors who have expensive prices. So that it makes products that are originally expensive to decrease in price to offset market prices.

But competition is tough for companies that have just launched, especially with not large capital, so competition makes it difficult to develop. Because a company that has just been built must be faced with other companies that are more experienced and have more consumers. This is where the difficulty occurs because new producers must be able to create new things that have not existed before to attract consumers to them.

Intense competition, many of which even make small companies do not continue their business due to not winning in the competition. Well, the point is that competition makes things not easy for business people, but it becomes an advantage for consumers.

Isn't that the weirdest thing you've ever heard about, this inflation thing you're talking about? Prices are constantly rising and never falling, if you look at them. It appears as though they are engaging in some sort of game with us. And while we're all frantically racing in circles and attempting to stay up, we keep slipping behind

And in regards to what you said regarding the administration, it is true that they appear to be living in a fantasy world while claiming that everything is wonderful here while we are actually having financial difficulties. Though not in a "ha-ha" way, it's a tiny bit amusing

The bizarre part of it, though, is here. What happens if the inflation is not the only issue? Perhaps we are simply reflecting on the past and believing it to be better because things change. Who is to say, though? Just keep going forward, isn't that all we have to do? Maintain a positive attitude and a smile. We will survive despite the strangeness of the outside world

Well, we have no choice if we talk about inflation, price increases, technological advances, government policies and other things that continue to accompany the passage of time. We can only continue to follow it and try our best and well we have to keep a positive mind and keep going while analyzing every journey we go through and also analyzing what we will prepare for the future.

Building a business or becoming a freelancer or even being an employee or whatever field we are currently doing. At least we have to do it to the fullest and with an optimistic mind. Maybe if we think too much about inflation then we will only be filled with resentment and such. And that is not a good thing. So it will be better for us to enjoy every process.

Likewise in building a business. We must enjoy every process that we build. Everything may feel heavy when starting at the beginning. because surely a lot of things that we didn't know before are starting to come to us. But if you run it well and stay consistent, your business will grow over time. The important thing is we must be able to adapt to the times.

In building a prosperous business, one of the most important considerations is the financial capacitation for making an establishement which will require steady funding more than you ever expect because that's what is going to sustain the business together with the adopted model of operations designed for the business to follow, if we fo by the required standard and procedures for business development we will then arrived at an average performance for the first time and that could help the business sustainable through the process as it continues.
Starting your own business requires a good plan. Whether you have the money to start a business or not, you need to have a good plan before starting a business. When you have a good plan for building your business, you try to work according to that plan. If you don't have enough time to do business at that time, you will try to arrange money in phases. But if you don't have a plan you can't start your own business even if you have money so we need to have a proper plan first. Either before or after some time you will definitely have money, with proper planning it is possible to start your own business with money anytime. And building your own business is a right decision for a person because life does not always go in one way and at some stage of life people have to lose their jobs or other workplaces.  .

That's true because building a business is not as easy as it sounds and there are many challenges that we need to overcome so that the process of achieving success is determined by how prepared we are to develop a business. To be honest, I never agree when people say that you don't need to have a lot of money to build a business, because there is no way to build a business if it is not supported by sufficient capital. Business planning must also be seen at the level of potential and if it is forced beyond the wishes of the market or consumers, then the business being undertaken will be in vain and that is what is called planning or accuracy.

We also believe in lifelines and that's why not everyone is born to do business, so when we are not compatible with doing business then it is better to look for other ways to make money. Business is not the only way to make money and there are many other places that can bring someone to the stage of financial ability. So before deciding to do business, you should first identify your potential and whether we have the ability to run a business or not?

And building your own business is a right decision for a person because life does not always go in one way and at some stage of life people have to lose their jobs or other workplaces. 
I remember one old parent's advice, if you want to look wealthy then build a business and we must look for business experience from people who have succeeded. That's advice that continues to be instilled especially in my family and now all of us have our own businesses and I have to admit that doing business is not easy and there will be moments of saturation that disrupt our consistency.

Everyone who has a trading spirit certainly has the desire to start a business because they don't want the money they make not to be used to make more money. But in building a business, of course it is not as easy as people say, we must have careful planning to run the business that we are going to build, if we do not prepare our plans properly then we will not get good results later and it will be a waste of time. We.

You are right that not always our workplace can accept us working for them, anything can happen in our world of work, of course we have to be prepared for all of that, therefore it is better for us to prepare well in advance by planning it build a business.
