Errors, which caused more than a million startups to fail.

Every day thousands of active, purposeful, ambitious young, and not very, people open their business. According to statistics, most of the undertakings very quickly (within 1 calendar year) is completed with a negative result.

The figure of 1 000 000 (one million) taken out in the title, is greatly understated. In fact, those who have not managed to make their own project successful, much more. In this case, the reasons for which the startup has not been developed, fairly homogeneous. In this article, we pay attention to them.

1. An attempt to solve several problems simultaneously.

Uncertainty of the initial stage, when there is no extensive client base, the company is not easily recognizable in the market, orders are so small that there is no money for active advertising, it forces the startup to do several things at the same time. It is logical that none of them can not be done well. As a consequence, the problems become even greater.

Set yourself tasks for each current day. Concentrate on solving the nearest task. Proceed to the next decision, only after the completion of the previous one. Using such an algorithm to organize your own activity, you will be able to achieve better results.

2. Too much information

Still it is not known what is worse for the manager - lack of information or its overabundance. The Internet allows you to receive an unlimited amount of information. In the array of new knowledge you can "get lost", starting to look for an answer to one question, switch to the second, become interested in the third and eventually just lose time. Strive to concentrate on finding really useful information for solving the nearest task. Perhaps the quickest way to find the information you need is to go to the Business Library, where all the data is structured around the topics.

3. Set the tasks to be accomplished

You can set the goal - to write the operating system and become a competitor to Bill Gates and the Windows corporation or start gas production and press Gazprom out of the market. Successful solution of any of the above tasks will make your company super-profitable. The only question is the attainability of the goal, taking into account the current realities and your possibilities. You can spend a lot of effort, time and money, but never achieve the desired result. Concentrate on the solution of those tasks, a solution which is objectively yours.

4. Take care of the company's image from the very beginning.

The image is formed from the first day of the company's existence. Avoid actions that can adversely affect business reputation. Do not make promises that you will not be able to fulfill. Do not deceive customers and partners, for the sake of immediate benefits.

5. Be persistent in achieving the goal.

When you start your own business, remember that you are not expected to enter the market. Potential clients until now and without the goods and services offered by your company were normal. Competitors will do their best to not give up already won positions. For one day and even a month it is not possible to make a new company recognizable, and the business is highly profitable. The difficult period of lack of money and uncertainty about one's own strengths and the correctness of the chosen path is inevitable. It is necessary to be ready, first of all psychologically, to resist unfavorable circumstances and persistently develop own business.

6. Strive to go to zarabatovaniyu money the shortest way.

Sometimes the process of creating the ideal product or service captures a beginner entrepreneur. The desire to make a perfect product completely displaces the commercial result. A businessman turns into an artist, a creative personality, for which the most important are not the financial results from the sales of the created product, but the process of creating it.

The main task for any startup is to maximize the rapid monetization of the project. Concentrate on attracting customers to the service, service or product that is already available. Improving the quality characteristics is a long process. You can do it all the time.

7. Stay motivated

All discoveries are made by "hungry" people to victory. Very rarely children of successful entrepreneurs achieve success comparable to their parents. To open a company and make it a success is an extremely difficult task. It is necessary to work at the limit of forces 24 hours a day, solve a lot of impossible tasks, overcome a variety of difficulties, concentrate only on developing their own business.

When you already have an apartment, a car, a bank account with six zeros, it's very difficult to force yourself to work for wear. Only a motivated person can fanatically work on his project, regardless of the lack of money for a large-scale advertising campaign, for high competition and lack of professional knowledge. And in another way, success is not possible.

8. Be Critical

Do not blame someone for failure, except yourself. You are the helmsman of your own business, and therefore must provide for possible difficulties and quickly cope with current difficulties. Do not waste your energy in fruitless attempts to find the guilty, better take care of them to solve the problems that arise.
