Are you a business person with an entrepreneurial spirit?
Are you considering starting your own business? Allow business entrepreneur and disruptive trend investor Jeremy Abelson to offer you a first-hand piece of advice to lay the
foundations for a successful business.
Many entrepreneurs assume that starting a business is just
about registering and getting started. One of the most important issues about
the business structure is that it allows you to protect your personal assets
from eventual problems or liabilities of your company. In other words, it is
about establishing some kind of barrier or protective shield between you and
the relationship that your company establishes with its customers, suppliers,
employees, etc.
Your entrepreneurship was probably born from something that you are truly passionate about, but it is most likely that over time it will be more difficult to keep that passion alive. Jeremy Abelson recommends to you feed that passion every day and remind yourself why you did it.
Hire smart: Sure, hiring a team is quite exciting, but as a
recommendation, do it calmly. Take the time to choose the right people, so you
won't regret it over time.
Become a partner: this is a good way to attract
complementary talent to grow your business. Remember that you need to learn to
communicate your ideas and expectations with others.
Protect yourself from the unexpected: think about the
obstacles you may encounter along the way and make sure things don't get out of
hand if you are not there.
The responsibility is yours but you don't have to do it
alone: ask for help. Not everyone has the courage to start a business, but
most people will want to help you. Learn from other successful entrepreneurs.
Those with a few years of experience can give you great advice. Someone just
starting out can give you energy and creative ideas.
Running your own business is one of the most exciting and
challenging adventures you will ever have. Protect yourself to make sure the
business survives its ups and downs, and take your time to plan it in the best
possible way.
One of the challenges for beginner entrepreneurs is to build
credibility with clients, investors and buyers. This can generate pressure, as
you have to relate to other entrepreneurs who may be older, more experienced
and have achieved much more. However, there are several advantages and tools
that entrepreneurs who are starting can use to their advantage to achieve an
image of reliability, such as new technologies and social networks.
