All people are divided into several categories: those who successfully work "for the owner", content with a large or small( who will be lucky) salary, those who do not work anywhere, preferring work hanging on someone else's neck, and those who are rushing in search ofanswer the question, how to start working for yourself .
The most important thing is that there is not too much gap between meditations and actions, otherwise you risk not to approach even a couple of centimeters to the dream of your own business.
Why should I start working for myself?
Life is quite an unexpected thing, which likes to present surprises, so you can not be sure of tomorrow unless you have provided it yourself.
People who were lucky enough to find a good job with a decent salary, do not want to think about the fact that tomorrow the situation can turn upside down and you will stay at the broken trough.
Naturally, own business is not a guarantee of immediate success.
In order to become an oligarch from a beginning businessman, it is necessary to work hard for many years, forget about laziness, rest and complaints.
And then, no businessman, especially in our country is immune from financial crises, bankruptcy or tax hitting.
And yet, you need to start working for yourself for a number of reasons:
-
Independence.
Even the most loyal bosses have bad habits in character.
Who knows what tomorrow will bounce into your big-boss head: maybe he will want to cut your salary, or lower in office, or decide to take your brother to your place, or even think that you will perfectly cope with the role of the boxing pear.
-
Freedom.
Beginning businessmen resemble squirrels, which do not stop their wheel for a minute.
But as soon as the business gets to its feet, you form a well-coordinated team, find a sensible deputy, you have time for yourself.
-
Taking care of the future.
Pensions in our country, if you, of course, did not work as a deputy or some official, just shamefully small.
Therefore, hopes in the style: "Now I'll work, and then I will retire and I will rest" are not peculiar even to people who have grown together with pink glasses.
Retirement is more the beginning of a struggle for survival than a deserved rest.
How do you start working for yourself?
Even if you are going to cook soup, then you can not do without the preparatory stage( decide which soup to cook, find a saucepan, buy and process products, etc.).
What can we say about our own business.
"Everything you do, you must do well, even if you are making a fool."
Honore de Balzac.
Thinking about how to start working for yourself, do not forget about the main components of a successful start:
-
Business plan.
The more accurately and thoughtfully you compose a business plan, the higher your chance of success.
Be sure to specify:
- scope of future activities;
- region( or district of the city), where will be your point;
- concept;
- the amount of starting capital, etc.
-
Start-up capital.
No business start is possible without it.
Experts advise not to start their own business, if you do not have at least a third of the required amount.
To risk borrowed( and worse yet - taken on credit from the bank) money - it's not clever.
If you run out, you'll have to look for sources of income to pay off debtors.
-
Experience.
Do not start your own business if you absolutely do not understand anything about it.
If you are dreaming about a grocery store, you should first get a job as an ordinary employee in some supermarket, then grow into a management position in order to understand the whole essence of this business, and then go on a free ride.
-
Help.
Start to work only for yourself - an incredibly tempting prospect, but there's nothing wrong with opening a company with a partner.
Especially if your potential partner has experience and money.
Get to know both, you can register your company.
-
Competent approach.
Of course, you immediately want to become the owner of a steep restaurant for 500 seats.
But, if you are completely unfamiliar with this business and do not have your own starting capital, then start with, for example, a stall selling food to take out.
So you can not only increase your start-up capital and gain experience, but also to understand if you are ready for business in general.
What should I remember before I start working for myself?
Own business is quite a responsible step, therefore you should take care of small things if you want to achieve success, and not be defeated in the first battle.
If you decide to start working for yourself, remember:
-
Own business is not necessarily entrepreneurship.
For example, my friend Olya, left without work, tried herself in copywriting( writing texts to order).
At first she earned a penny, but cheap orders allowed her to gain experience, learn new things for her.
As soon as Olga has regular customers, her monthly profit has increased significantly.
Today, the girl's income is at least 5 thousand hryvnia per month and again to work "for the owner" she has no desire.
-
Remove from your life everything that takes a lot of your time, but does not work:
Drinking with friends, hanging out in nightclubs, sticking into a TV, etc.
People who devote too much time to these things do not become successful.
How to force yourself to work?
-
Practice without theory is ineffective.
In an interview with Bill Gates, I read that he spends a few hours a day reading financial analytics.
If you think that you will learn everything along the way, and studying theory is a stupid waste of time, then do not start anything serious at all.
-
Believe in your success.
Pessimists and whiners rarely achieve success precisely because they doubt their abilities and constantly expect the fate of the blow. They send a signal to the
Universe "tomorrow something bad will happen to me", and the Universe perceives this as a desire.
In the end - what to ask, you get.
More optimism and confidence that you will succeed!
Do you still have doubts, is it worth going to such a brave step?
Do you want to leave everything as is and devote your life to working for your uncle?
This "sharp" video will convince you in the opposite!🙂
Starting to work for yourself is not so easy!
The formula for success consists of persistence, desire, diligence, competent approach to business and a drop of luck.
But, the experienced difficulties will not be in vain if you do what you love in the future, not depending on others.
