Things You Should Know When Starting a Start-up

Things You Should Know When Starting a Start-up

4. Balancing it with your day job

A cardinal rule is to never quit your day job and jump straight to your venture. Instead, learn how to balance your day job and your start-up. When you are finally convinced that it’s time to quit your day job, ask yourself first: can I survive for a year without a steady income? Then, these: Do you have a family to feed? Do you help your parents out?

 

3. Finding the right timing

You have to study the market and ask yourself: is there actually a demand for this service or product right now? If your answer is yes then proceed. If your answer is no then ask this next question: how can I create a “need” for this service or product?

Sometimes it’s just really about the timing, but there are also other times that it’s all about how you market it to your target consumer—you create the timing.

 

2. Your prospective team

Are you going solo? Can you afford to go solo? A start-up only truly becomes successful based on its pioneering team. Yes, a team. Not just you. It’s tempting to be a micromanager, but sooner or later you’ll have to fire yourself from certain roles because someone else can do it better.

Finding the right team is hard and it will take a lot of time. What’s crucial is that you have to know how to present your idea and vision to your prospects—you have to infect them with your idea to compel them to join you.

 

1. Scrutinize your idea again and again

Do extensive research about your business idea. Your idea isn’t new—other people have probably thought about it, just in another shape and form.

Find existing businesses that are similar to your business idea and study them one by one. Find loopholes in their business model—marketing approach and such; basically, any cracks in their parchment curtain that you can take advantage of and turn into your unique selling point.

Good luck!
