How To Start A Business: A Step-By-Step Planning Guide To Minimise Risk
This journey, however, is not for the weakhearted
Establishing a business is easy but running it successfully is tough. It comes together with a set of challenges, problems, difficulties or even awkward situations that require you to face them and eventually solve them before you can reap the fruit. Some entrepreneurs I know lost their houses, cars were repossessed, spouses left them and worst the family ditched them during the rough part of the journey before they tasted success. Theoretically, it is a tough journey.
That being said, understand this early. Entrepreneurship is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea. While everybody wants to be part of the outcome, not many people, however, are keen to be part of the process. If you think you are weakhearted, I would recommend you forget this route in your search for success. Did you know that even great brands took 20 years, in general, to be where they are today? Starbucks, McDonald’s, Nike, and Apple you name it. If you do not believe me, simply go to Google and check the facts directly. That is pretty much a standard haul for a brand to be truly successful. When your brand reaches this kind of stage, you as an entrepreneur and owner of the brand will succeed too.
