Business!


I have been seeing posts about how to start a business.
The first step is to register  the Company, get a tax number, register on the government database and have a website and other do things .
 
Every time I see such posts being shared I burst into laughter. You can have all these things but not a viable product/service or there being a zero market for it.

People you can't thumb suck business  without patience, sacrifice and suffering. You need to be plugged into some energy and not give up.

Starting a business is hard work, it's not some registration on  paper, website or any of those mentioned.
 
My advice is before doing the admin, take the business into the streets, do it practically, check if people are vibing with your offering.
 You can alsodalso something related to what you want to do. 
 For example if you want to be in property get a shack somewhere and rent it out, see how this works, use the rent money to get another then another. Then when you have about 5 or more you can buy a bigger land and start building.
You need to start somewhere.
You can't be starting with some paper while having zero idea of what you will be doing.


Innovate and add value.

Supply

  Supply- supply is the amount of a resource that firms, producers, labourers, providers of financial assets, or other economic agents are willing and able to provide to the marketplace or to an individual. Supply can be in produced goods, labour time, raw materials, or any other scarce or valuable object ( WikiPedia) I found this topic to be of great interest in a sense that one can be in and out of business because of a supplier. Demand and supply makes up the foundation of an economy. In business we can have an obstacle of a supplier. Recently I have halted selling a product due to a problem I had with a supplier. The supplier ran out of business and it was difficult to even find another supplier nearby. A supplier can increase prices meaning you also have to increase your prices. This seems simple but it tends to be difficult to maintain one’s clientele in such a situation.   This problem of suppliers come with the risk of running a business, one must always be on the look...

Physical efforts

Taking care of your health. When you are in business you are taking care of alot of things and people. One must be both mentally and physically fit to exercise such responsibility. Reading is an exercise for the mind and working out or running is for the body. Business is about trust and how do you trust someone who looks like they are about to give birth? That is unhealthy. Heath concerns me alot and people need to educate themselves about the kind of food they need to eat. A healthy individual will run a healthy business. Physically appearance is everything especially in the service sector. Therefore, be neat, healthy and fit. Exercising for an hour a day will make a whole difference in your life and your business. Develop that mind

Competition

  Why not compete? Competition  is inevitable everywhere , people always want to be part of all the profitable markets , that's the business system. The issue is how do we deal with competition and how do we ensure that our services or products add more value than the others? I believe when one is faced with competition " Your Why" should direct you and help capture the market. But as you know how black people are, we want to eliminate the competition as soon as we see it, we tend to focus more on the outside factors instead of being strategic and aiming for innovation. Things in business almost always never go according to plan but one must find ways to stay relevant and to continue with the vision. Competition is our number one enemy and  this then hinders our progress . We need to learn that it's an inside out factor not vice versa.
