Have you researched the market, competition and alternative solutions?
Very often, beginners in business do not even wonder if there is someone who has already developed an idea like theirs. This is most often the case in the field of social networking and, in general, in digital business. We must not forget that in this field of activity competition is measured internationally, so there is a high chance that someone else in the world has already had (or has) an idea similar to yours. Therefore, learn how to perform a market quality check, as this is the first step towards developing a genuine and winning business idea.
Remember the vision: look at the forest, not the tree
Young entrepreneurs often have great ideas with great business potential. However, beginners tend to meddle in technical or administrative details, rather than looking at the broader context of potential and business markets.
This is a typical problem in environments like ours, where the administration is voluminous and slow, and young people are not educated in the spirit of entrepreneurship. It is good to be aware of possible obstacles, but the business idea should never be used only on the basis of current technical and administrative difficulties. Imagine your idea, write it down and think about it. If you still feel that you lack practical business skills, that's not a problem. There are excellent business administration programs that will allow you to profile yourself. However, the idea is the most important!
Lack of systematization: don't aim too fast in the center of the business
Business start-ups are often in a hurry, skipping steps without thinking about strategies for gradually developing their ideas. This mistake can cost you if you need to present your business plan to others: potential investors or partners. If you do not have the ability to draw up a business plan and present it, you will not know how to keep the attention of your listeners, thus losing the chance of a possible collaboration or support that will improve your business. Remember: everything is learned, even systematization and presentation skills.
Not adapting to the needs of the market, but the opposite in the name of authenticity
When it comes to ideas, it's a good idea to be authentic. However, if you want to become a businessman, you need to understand the needs of the majority market. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people. It's important to ask yourself how well you know how sales management works.
Have you thought about who will pay you?
There are beginners who are full of stories, but they don't even wonder who their customers will be and how they will make money from the imagined business. Very often, individuals create a product or service without thinking about the revenue model and the profit. What's worse is the words that I can spell I often mistype with marketplaces. It's important to guess who needs what you offer and then guess where your potential customers are (maybe even your key customers). No matter how good your product is, and the low price, if you don't know who to contact and potential customers don't know about you, your business will not survive. Improve your marketing management skills in a timely manner.
Underestimating the importance of the team
Entrepreneurs and smallholders often underestimate the importance of management skills, although without a good leader, it is very difficult for the business to thrive in modern conditions. Every business is made by the one who thinks about it and the one who sells the product. Are you just an innovator or a leader? If you are a leader, you know how important it is to have a good team that will be led correctly.
Improper communication with customers
The most typical and common kind of mistake is not facing the market and the fear of asking the customer what he thinks about a product or service. However, this is very important because it sends a message to the customer that it is important for the company. Of course, there are communication techniques, which also need to be mastered. The client is, like the owner of a large company, just a man. If you do your job qualitatively, you have no reason to be scared. Ask the customer what he thinks. If there are any omissions, the customer response will help you improve your business, and he will be happy to take care of you and his money. It's all about public relations, because when you go out on the market, you become part of the public.
How good are you at managing your finances and planning your expenses?
A big problem for inexperienced entrepreneurs is predicting the real and necessary costs, measuring the performance of the company, as well as differentiating between cost and investment. A good entrepreneur must understand the importance of quality digital marketing, but also be prepared to take stock of financial management, especially when it comes to salaries, marketing costs and the potential of that marketing. has in the perspective of potential customers. If you are not, improve your financial management skills, as this is the only way to take advantage of your time and investment.
