5 Things to keep in mind when starting a new venture

May 2, 2016 by Jessee R

Entrepreneurship is a brave step to take.

One takes all kinds of risk like financial insecurity, job insecurity, and risk of failure and there is a lot of pressure due to all this when one is starting a new business.

If you are not in the right frame of mind, the pressure will get the better of you. You have to keep your goals clear, plan ahead and think a lot ahead.

To help you with the same, here are 5 things to keep in mind when starting a new business:

 

 

 

  1. Every detail should be planned and documented

 

It is needless to say that starting a business based on just intuitions and word of mouth is foolhardy.

Once you have an idea, you need to have a plan of action to build a successful business around it.

Your plan action should detail every step from the mere filing of documents to the first day of operations and the next consequent scenarios.

Doing this makes you take control of the situation and avoid confusion.

Don’t leave anything to chance, evaluate everything.

 

  1. Make sure there are no financing glitches

 

Every business needs finance to start, survive and sustain.

This finance comes from your personal capital, the investors, and the banks and other financial institutions.

The key is to know how much comes from where, what you owe and what you own and how do you plan to manage it all?

 

Finances should be clear, transparent and well managed. For instance, too much of debt and little personal capital can be harmful. In the same way, putting your entire savings in order to save debt is also not advisable as it leads to financial insecurity and will in turn create increased pressure on you.

Hence, it is always advisable to have robust and well-defined finances.

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Always have a backup plan

 

The highest of economic theorists cannot guarantee 100% that your business will be a success. Rather than being an optimist and failing, one should try to be a realist and plan for every possible contingency.

 

That is why it becomes imperative to always have a backup plan in case things go south. It lowers the pressure over your shoulders and makes you more productive as your risks become more diversified and covered.

 

 

 

 

  1. Keep your approach correct

 

Some people believe in optimism, some in pessimism.

I personally believe that to succeed in business you have to be realist. If your belief in your idea is just because you have a hunch then you’re in for disappointment but if you have every possible scenario and challenge which can cut you off and devised coping mechanisms for all of them, then you’re set on the path for great things.

 

Researching and keeping an open mind are key approaches for business success. Being to positive or negative will only render you indecisive most of the times. You have to be quick, notice an opportunity or a threat when it presents itself and then act accordingly.

Hence, always make informed decisions.

 

 

 

  1. Be in sync with all legalities

 

The laws of each country have a certain set of rules when it comes to corporates which can be about starting up a venture or running it. For example your enterprise should have the following

  • Memorandum of Association

  • Vision and Mission Statement

  • Annual Reports of Operations

  • Annual Disclosures of Assets and Liabilities

You also have to get registered with the Companies House or the Registrar of Companies in your country.

When starting a business, you may be unfamiliar with these things. It is advisable to get yourself known to how the system works so that you can make decisions in sync with it.

 

Starting an enterprise is the ultimate step towards the ultimate career goal of a person which is to be in control of his skills and capabilities and use his innovations to create a successful business.

This is obviously a high risk scenario and proper steps should be taken and planned on order to diversify all possible risks to the maximum.

Success doesn’t come in a day. So keep putting effort and stay alert and informed; you will get where you want… in time.
