Entrepreneur’s complaints about are ongoing. Is a clear need for a stimulus and an economic boost to start many projects that seek their place in the business world?
On the other hand, professional investors hear comments about how difficult it is to find projects to bet. Carpenter Rodolfo, one of the largest private investors in our country, said recently in an event that “There is more money than good projects with good entrepreneurs” and today at a post on his blog says that “Every time we participate in a company and see the management team we realize how few people there able to manage well an Internet company.” Twitter the other day in another well-known investor complained, with some comments received that “you criticize me for not having invested in your company, have you stopped to think how I going to return my money?”
At the moment a person decides to enter the business world must keep in mind that to gain the confidence of the people who can financially support your business has to provide, first, a series of value added to what is approach is a successful business. Here are some tips on how to do it.
The first thing is to be objective and consistent enough to assess whether what one is presented as a successful business it is in reality or is it just an illusion. Not all initiatives are eligible or attractive to an investor and entrepreneur, who is convinced of his great project should consider that a business is measured by its ability or completeness of profitability and subjectivity that the fair.
The second is to ask that anyone who bet on our project aims to obtain a return for their commitment and we should offer it. The entrepreneur has to know precisely how much money you need, what you need and how you generate resources for the maintenance of the company and return the money paid to the investor.
Thirdly must have an apparent ability of the team that is part of the company to lead and manage the business. A great idea with a great business development can go to hell if the people running it are not trained for it.
And fourth, the entrepreneur has to behave from minute one as a professional. Just yesterday I read another comment on Twitter that said “entrepreneur cancels meeting tomorrow for being half holiday”, maybe you prefer to go for a walk and have the meeting with an investor at another time. At other times most of the project budget devoted to salaries of the developers, a true professional should be aware that their pay has to leave the fruits of their labor and an investor is not going to put money for salaries of people who have not yet demonstrated its ability to take the business to fruition.
How would you feel if you were told you can lose money by bad press a key?
Do you know that this happens more often than is believed?
If you apply this advice I’ll give you, you probably will not ever happen again.
Most entrepreneurs and business people have a computer and a calculator on your desktop.
They use the calculator to do math, think again … It’s like using a Swiss Army knife to make a cabinet!
Let’s be reasonable, a calculator you out of trouble but it is a professional tool.
Both by its compact dimensions, the small monochrome screen, its functions, and its reliability is a tool for amateurs.
Some studies show that it is very common mistakes when using a calculator and usually not detected.
How should you make your calculations?
Using a spreadsheet.
- You have it on your computer.
- The keyboard is tailored to your fingers.
- The screen is much bigger so you do not get tired of hearing.
- Reliability.
- Allows you to check the numbers.
- You can modify what you need if you detect an error.
- You can delete multiple accounts without prior.
- You can use the results of various calculations to make other calculations and final results.
- You can save your calculations for future reference.
- You can program and store formulas for calculations that do normally.
This technique of corporate governance is the foundation of a system that I’ll explain later.
I will teach you how to use spreadsheets to price lists, budgets, billing, cost, inventory, record purchases and sales, schedule tasks, keep customer data and transactions and much more.
So it’s very important that you get used to using a spreadsheet to do math.
What you do now is look if you have Excel, but you can download the free Open Office Internet.
You’re going to open a spreadsheet, you do some sums putting the numbers below each other, and you will become familiar with different ways to get the result (it is very easy, you’ll see).
When you feel comfortable with this professional tool going to start using it daily for all your accounts.
If you do this you will achieve greater productivity, you will stop making costly mistakes for your business and be a step of starting the systematization of a set of tasks that today you are taking too long.
I would also implement this technique leave me your questions and comments in the form below or by clicking on “Add Comment.” I will answer you personally.
Many of the regulars of this blog have the same problem as me: many ideas for new Internet projects and little time to carry them out. Yes, I know that what matters is not the idea, but as it runs. So, I have been mulling over an (other) idea do not know if it could work.
Suppose we have an entrepreneurial profile, with enough business knowledge and models of the Internet, we are clear as to launch a project and follow-up to do, but often do not do it for the lack of time before commenting. We know how to promote it, where to move, where to look for investors (even a little capital to start) etc …
The idea is to ‘sell’ all this know-how in exchange for a percentage share of a project, something ‘similar’ to what venture capital does with the money, but in this case no money, just experience. That is, our work would find a computer (eg designer / programmer) and turn them into entrepreneurs. Give them the idea, clearly define the project, as it must be designed, as it should be set, which must monitor and provide ongoing support in exchange for that small percentage of participation. They are the entrepreneurs, and are those who take the risk, but you offer the experience to not fall into your same mistakes providing this idea can work.
Hello Entrepreneurs, I want to share a list of 6 business ideas that I found in this blogs, which were the text of this article is distributed under a creative commons license and its value is incalculable by this is the suit, also through this post I want to invite them to add their post and invite other entrepreneurs to join and help grow this site, well now, if here is a list of ideas to take or use for inspiration:
1 – sealing product niches: My experience is now made of brick and it takes several people to work. A climb a ladder or platform, another player, passing the cement and bricks. Slow addition is inefficient. If someone develops an exact size slab, a silicone type fluid seal, and a solvent to remove the coffin past the allotted time, it could greatly improve the current system.
2 – Council town planning legal owners: At least in the Basque Country, when making a development plan if the developer gets 60% of the land may fair price to buy the rest-a kind of theft, “the idea is to create a society incorporating rights of at least 40% of the owners to have a strong position to negotiate with the developer.
