The Startup Business

Starting a business in today’s dynamic and ever-changing economy requires laser focus, passion, drive and a little know-how.

The sad reality is that most new businesses aren’t still around after five years.

Many don’t even survive their first year in business.

Yet, thousands of people still try to defy the odds and set up their own successful businesses every year.

Why?

Because setting up and running your own successful business has many benefits – you just won’t find yourself working for someone else.

Being a business owner provides freedom, flexibility and financial independence.

Plus, the pride and joy in contributing you achieve when you’re successful.

To succeed in today’s market, we need to start thinking differently, evolve our methods and focus on our goals.

There are some things that the owners of successful startup businesses have in common.

Firstly, they are clear on their ‘why.’

Why this business?

Why now?

Why do they want this enough to put in the effort and take the risk?

Knowing your ‘why’ will motivate you to push through the tough times that lie ahead.

Secondly, they stand out from the start.

You need to be clear and focused on what your business is right from the start in order to differentiate yourself in the marketplace.

In other words, what makes your business stand out?

What are your USPs (unique selling points)?

It’s by knowing this and sticking to it that you create huge demand and increase profits.

Last but certainly not least…

Successful entrepreneurs don’t do it alone.

In a fast-evolving market, you can’t rely on the methods that worked ten, five or even two years ago.

Getting expert advice, information and guidance is the key to success.
