I was just wondering what it would be like for people willing to start a business at this time when
the economy has gone through the up's and down and that inspired me to write this little piece for
those who might be thinking of starting a business but have little fund or No fund to start up.
If you are in this category, this writing may be timely for you to raise inspire you and get you up on your feet to start something today instead of waiting for that big opportunity to come which has lingered for this long.
Make up your mind to engage the following ideas
1. There is something you have got that you are yet to discuss with anyone that requires little or No capital, I mean that thing you are ready/ willing to do without been paid for the services.
Have you wondered why most people that cook well don't sell food or operate a restaurant, it is simply because we be-little what we have got most times and concentrate on the direction everyone is facing and this has reduced the productivity of many people who are supposed to be doing well in real life.
An example is a friend with a Bachelors degree in engineering from my alma mater, she has got excellent skill in business plan development and she was not able to get a job for herself after leaving college for somany years. She gave me a call on a certain day asking what job i can help her to get , i imediately told her the truth, i don't think i have any opportunity for you now but before your get that opportunity you are waiting for, can you experiment some of the skills you exhibited while in the university and find out if it works in your favor, she imediately responded , but i would still need some money to startup.I responded , how much money do enterpreneurs need to succeed, your money is your idea and you convert your idea to money.
The next morning, she went out to the graphic designers to help her print fliiers that cost less than she expected and shared it across various outlets in town.. In less than a week she recieved two(2) calls asking her to write a business plan for her and that earned her the sum of N60,000 , a job she was able to complete in less than a week. That got her thinking about registering a business name and eventually she has lost that passion for looking out for jobs.Sometime's the job we are looking for is buried within us and who know's you might be an employer while trying to position your self as an employee.
2.Start small and grow step by step, if you did'nt hear me clearly, that's just what i said. Starting small can be frigthening but there when you start small, you are sure not going to remain small. Rise up from that position where life has kept you, discover what you have left and take advantage of it.Someone is out there willing to buy the service you are selling and don't starve that person to dead Ok!
3.See the Big Picture and work towards making that dream coming to pass. Most enterpreneurs are visionary and this is the driver that keeps them moving without distraction.Avoid people who will discourage you from making that dream a reality and concentrate your attention of people who see what you are seeing.Please note, it's not everyone that will see the real reason why you are travelling this path but you are sure there will be reward for the services you are offering the society.
In conclusion, never expect the way will be smooth without challenges, be though, be strong and surround your self with very strong people who can help you become who you really want to become.
