In this world we find ourselves in today, I get to realize that a lot of times we don't give value to what truly deserves to be valued. And that's become more of a reason why many wander around looking for a way out and that way is just right in front of them. When I look at the richest man in my country, down to the richest men in Africa and also the richest men in the world. I get to know that there should be something these guys are doing that we are yet to know.
Most times it’s not always a matter of being born to a wealthy home. Many came from wealthy homes but still had to struggle to maintain their generational wealth. And some just couldn’t keep up with it.
To me, one of the easiest and fastest ways to become wealthy is getting into business, and also one of the quickest ways to become wrecked and poor is getting into business.
Business is not just something you wake up a day to think of diving into. Do you have plans for the kind of business you are about to get into? What are the pros and cons of the business you are about to get into? At times we just seem to get interested in a business model because we realize someone or a friend of ours made it big through this business. It's a pity things don't work out that way. There should be proper planning before getting to take the risk of running any form of business.
I am not yet a businessman but as an aspiring businessman and from my research so far I would be sharing some tips to guide and help you succeed as a business owner.
When I mean passionate about what you are doing, I mean you should ask yourself if you are having fun doing what you are doing. This is something you are about to embark on daily. You have to do something you already created a passion around and get to love what you are doing. This is one way to reach success faster. One thing I know of is that the very moment you do what you love, you would be successful at it. And you will never see it as hard work and it will never appear hard to you.
You need to create a team around yourself. It is said that whenever you want to walk faster, walk alone. But when you want to go far, walk together. Getting along with your team members would surely get you a long way toward achieving your goals as a business owner. Being an employer shouldn’t make your employees feel down and less valued. These are the people that can make you and they can also break you. So make sure to treat them right.
Another fastest way to make it in life is by getting challenged. You can't move if you decide to remain stagnant. And the very moment you decide to move then you must be ready to be challenged because a lot of people must have decided to move just like you have done. For every business, there is always a market, and for every market, there is always market risk. You can’t know everything. Get your employee to challenge you about the decisions you are about to take and think before you leap. This would put you and your business on your toes and moving.
This should have come first because the way you treat your customers matters a lot. You should inculcate the habit of getting feedback from your customers, they are the ones using your products and services. To get it right, it is your responsibility to listen to them, work on their complaints, and get to satisfy them. If you don't get customer satisfaction then it would be a hard way to build up your business.
Just like the pillar of a house, if it is built strong then the house would surely last longer, but with weak pillars, there is a higher tendency of getting crushed in no time. So this should be applied to your business too. What is your support system? Do you have enough resources and reserves to give you a backup when some cramps happen? What's there to pump you back up and going again?
It happens that we get down, but getting up back again is what matters most. And this could only happen when there is a strong support system. Getting good insurance over your business, making some other forms of profitable investment, and getting to hold a lot of shares with different shareholders, all theses are ways to build stronger support for your business.
Business is all about making profits and looks way easier on the outside but getting into it is where the reality surfaces. Proper management is what keeps a business booming. So one has to be very careful when taking decisions about a business to dive into.
