The idea in your head doesn’t deserve to be smothered, it deserves to see the light of the day and breathe. Just like Thomas Alva Edison had rightly said, “The value of an idea lies in the using of it.” The challenge with every new start-up is to be found and to stand-out amidst the plethora of established ventures. With the digital India moving at a rapid space, the numbers of start-ups have increased by over 40 per cent according to Nasscom. With sites giving information on how to kick-start an entrepreneurial venture available at dime a dozen, making that one right choice can change your designation from being an employee to a successful entrepreneur. We have curated a meticulous list of steps one needs to keep in mind before you take the final plunge and kick-start your dream start-up.
Map your strategies and know your weaknesses. This foresight is the rough draft of the plan, the stated goal towards which you would work. In order for your start-up to be a success, you should know how the market which you’re trying to break in. Before making a big investment, make sure that you have planned everything from the tinniest to the biggest details. Remember, this can make a huge difference to your start-up. It should be a detailed blueprint of what your company needs, what will it do and how will it perform as expected.
Many ideas vanish into thin air if not implemented and this oblivion may not allow you to materialize your dreams. Now that your plan is ready, it’s time to put it to action. Discuss it with your potential stakeholders, friends and family. Their opinions will help you improve your plan which is anyway at a nascent stage. The mantra is to take criticism constructively. Be open to accept negative feedback, it will only help you in the long-run.
Now that you have your blue-print in place, it’s time to find someone who can share can critique, invest (time and money) and be your brainstorming companion. Find people to invest in your company as funding will help you in the long run and will help your firm grow financially stronger. The next is to legally keep your idea safe and register the firm. An unregistered firm can be eyed upon by fraudsters and copyright offenders. To avoid your start-up fall prey to these it’s always better to be on the safer side.
Without publicity there is no prosperity. Let the world know about your initiative in a way that it reaches all your potential clients and customers. Now that the wheels are set in motion, don’t stress if the launch did not pickup as expected. Find an alternative to gain the desired pace and come back with better marketing strategies.
Make sure that money is not something that drives you, initially. Focus on keeping your profile low in terms of money and create a demand for your company. As you see yourself growing gradually, crossing every milestone you’d set for yourself. It is then when you can steadily shift your objectives to the profit motive.
Obstacles will be many, keeping yourself motivated and not losing heart will be your key to establish a successful venture. Be ready to take on any challenge because, this is just the beginning.
