Always
associate with people within your industry
It is easy to learn from someone who is in your industry
because they might know something you aren’t aware of. It is a known fact that
a man who lives in isolation takes time to reach his goals.
One of the best
ways to go about this is to join forums such as facebook. My favourite is Quora
because you can simply write questions you might have regarding your industry
and someone within your industry will answer. That is one of the best ways to
learn.
You’re
still starting out, therefore don’t be fancy
You don’t need to own a large office with fancy furniture
and equipment. Always have basic things that will get the job done period. We
all know that some people show trust in your business when they notice that
your workshop is fancy, we can’t avoid that entirely.
You might not be able to give your office fancy branding
but you can always brand your website by giving it a fancy look. A website can
be a good representative of your business.
If you don’t have a website, you can create one on Wordpress for
free. Also brand your social media accounts by adding beautiful covers with
your logo and business colours.
Always
take action
Nothing is ever done when no action is taken. Over the
years I discovered that successful entrepreneurs are those that took action
immediately when an Idea popped up.
It’s not really
about knowing how to get the job done; it’s about taking action and keep on
learning. I’ve met multiple folks with MBA’s but still don’t know how to run
businesses. True success comes from taking steps and being consistent at that.
Everyone who has made it in business will tell you that
they learned from their experiences and from their mentors. Most aspiring
entrepreneurs spend most of their time planning and being obsessed about
eliminating risk of making mistakes.
Mistakes can’t be avoided entirely. Don’t get me wrong,
planning is good but if it becomes an obsession, it can lead to over analyzing
things. When you have an idea just run with it.
Never
wait for favourable conditions to do marketing.
Marketing comes in different forms which mean that
there’s expensive marketing and cost efficient marketing. Social media has made
it less expensive for businesses to promote their businesses.
Millions and millions of people are available on social
media.
Never cease to promote your business on social media. If you want to go
for paid ads on facebook you can always start with as little as $100 to reach
out to 10 000 people, now that’s a little price to pay.
Look
after yourself
This is the most important one. When you’re still
starting out, chances are you’ll have to work hard to keep up but none of this
will be possible if your body is not fit to get the job done.
Always exercise, eat well and drink plenty of water. Most
of all always keep a positive mind because there are a lot of challenges in
business. Keeping a positive mindset will lessen your chances of suffering from
depression.
There you have it good folks; I hope these business tips
will help you so much in your business. Feel free to comment. I’d really love
to hear your opinions.
