1- Know Your USP: USP stands for unique selling point, as a business owner you have to know what makes your business clicks, is it location, ingredients(for food business), quality of services or product, you have to figure it out because it will gives you a metric that you can improve on overtime and gain more success, if you find out that your USP is quality of product or service, you can always strive to do better and gain more customers and your desired results.

Studying competition is really one of the best ways to make money in a business. This can give you insight into how things are done in everyway. You can copy their production process, how they advertise, and do things. If you can target the pain points that they do not address for their customers, it could be a way to get more customers too.

Another tip you can apply to any business and at any time is to know how you can increase your productivity especially concerning the money making activities.

There are some tasks that are not necessary to the growth of your business, some which can be outsourced and some which must be done to keep the business running and profitable. Prioritizing them and finding ways to do things more effectively will help you make more money in shorter time. This is what people who build mega businesses do to accumulate wealth fast.

Starting a new business can be both exciting and daunting. There are a lot of things to think about and it can be hard to know where to start. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

1. Do your research

Starting a new business without doing any research is a recipe for disaster. You need to understand the industry you’re getting into, your target market, your competition and what your USP is. Only then can you start to put together a business plan and start to make your new business a reality.

2. Get some advice

Starting a new business is a big undertaking, so it’s important to get as much advice as you can. Talk to friends, family, mentors, business advisers and anyone else who might be able to help you. The more information and advice you can gather, the better.

3. Have a clear plan

Before you start your new business, you need to have a clear plan in place. This plan should outline your business goals, how you’re going to achieve them and what you need to do on a day-to-day basis to make your business a success. Without a plan, it’s very easy to get off track and lose sight of your goals.

4. Be prepared to work hard

Starting a new business takes a lot of hard work. There are no shortcuts to success, so be prepared to put in the hours. It’s important to be passionate about your business and to believe in what you’re doing, as this will help you to stay motivated when things get tough.

5. Stay positive

Starting a new business can be tough, so it’s important to stay positive. There will be ups and downs but as long as you stay focused on your goals, you will eventually achieve them. It’s also important to remember that not every business is a success, so don’t be too disheartened if things don’t work out as you’d hoped.

You are making huge sense with your tips it is always good to read and make good research when starting a new business I like the idea of one knowing about ones unique selling point, because as a business owner one need to know what makes the business progressive. you would have to check the location, quality of services or product, duration of time , competition etc

Then as a small business you need to study the big Players you can learn a lot of things from them, make sure you're keeping an eye on those succeeding in the industry too.

Point is, whatever industry you are trying to get into there are people already making money and established in the said industry, so it pays to study them, I think business is mostly about copying what works already and then innovating on it, if you are studying a business that is successful and their competitor, you will find out that they are mostly doing the same thing the only difference is maybe price or something innovative.

If you look at the social networks we have today like FB, twitter and instagram they are all ways we can communicate the only difference is they have different USPs and as a user of one, you might use the other one, so it is generally like that, if you are new in an industry you should only look up to the people that you want to be like and copy as much as you can adding your own sprinkle of creativity.

Everything starts with an idea and in business a business idea will help you to start something unique, after that you need to gain experience and more knowledge about business, this can happen by attending trainings with business experts and working under a business expert.

After that, you need to find a suitable location for your business because location plays an important role behind every successful business, location you choose should have a high demand for your products.

Then, you need capitals to start your ideal business, for creating high quality products and for marketing to build brand awareness for your business.

When you're thinking about starting a new business, there are a few things you should know. Here are our top 3 tips:

1. Start small. Don't try to do everything at once. If you can't afford hiring someone right away, don't try to get a loan or go into debt. Start with one thing, and then add on more things as you get more money together.

2. Be realistic about what your needs are now, and how long it will take for you to meet them with this new business plan in place (and no money). It's easy to start dreaming about all the things we could do if only we had more money or time… but that's only going to make it harder when reality sets in, and the bills come due!

3. Don't be afraid to ask for help! You might think that it's too much trouble or embarrassing, but if someone has done something similar before and succeeded, they'll probably be happy to lend a hand when they can and maybe even offer some advice as well!
