Small Business Startup
During this step, your small business startup, you define your requirements for a business idea. I
recommend that these requirements are based on your needs, desires, skills, resources, time
limits and risk limits. Before beginning this step, you should have a strong desire to start a
business.
The desired result of this step is a series of written requests for a business idea. The list should
indicate your needs, desires, skills, resources, time limits and risk limits.
Guidelines
The following guidelines may be useful in determining the requirements for a small business
startup.
Fulfill your needs and desires - you can start trouble and make it your business to meet a success.
A business idea that appeals to you that meets your needs and wants will help you overcome
these obstacles.
Stay in your existing skills and resources - When starting a business, you have to learn many
things. Therefore, the business is, you should use your existing knowledge and skills. If you have
to learn many new things, you will be overwhelmed. You also need to stray into your existing
resources, or you may never need the resources to set up new businesses.
Set reasonable time limits and risk - No overloading yourself in your new business. You need to
keep in good health. If you start a part-time business, you need enough energy to carry on your
main job. You also need time for your family and friends. If you exceed your risk, you will
always be worrying about the business and will never be able to enjoy yourself or think straight.
Reminder - Do you expect to make mistakes and have setbacks in your new business. You do not
risk more than you can afford to lose.
