• Leadership Qualities: The entrepreneurs of startups must understand the primitive rule in beginning of the startup. You wore the boots of a leader as soon as you verbalized your idea of the startup. A leader’s actions inspire others to learn more, which ensure an environment of sheer professionalism and hard work.
• Do the Math: Were you the topper of mathematics? Even if not, then swiftly run to the library and revise the basics of profit and loss. A very simple formula will apply: Selling Price > Cost Price. The product you are selling must have an MRP of greater value than you bought it at. That will ensure you from getting bankrupt.
• Loopholes Need Filling: No matter how sound your idea is, or how diligent and zealous your team is, loopholes are bound to happen. The problem which you cannot prevent must have its solution ready even before its signs starts to show. In this process, patience and reverence would take your boat to a safe harbour. Breathe, and start over again point wise, from the pricing of your product to the new app you launched. And, once you got the hold of loopholes fill them.
• Marvels? No, Be Realistic: Marvels and miracles sound good until they are the part of some fantasy book or movie, but expecting a wizard to come and make you rich with just the swipe of his wand does not only sound childish but ignorant. A lot of time and energy is being invested by those people who ‘work from home’. Sorry, but the pebble of ‘marvels’ shall burst to give you a reality check. You are the wizard of business and your hard work is the magic wand.
• Hello, Connections? : The word ‘connections’ is exploited in the present day to the point that its real meaning has eloped. Your network connection might fail but real life connects shall never to make your business run smoothly. Meet people of a higher calibre, and those who have already made their mark in the field to make your startup breathe in a more open space and get exposed to the people who could help you.
• Be Rocket Singh: Remember the movie ‘Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year’? No, you don’t need to hole the sole of your shoes and sell, but learn a trick or two from him. Learn to sell more, and reach to your consumers to understand their demands and opinions.
• Planning is Not Limited to Control Population: You will never realise when the wall of good times would tumble down, and an unwanted siren of bad times would shrill until that would be happening. So, learn to plan beforehand to prevent yourself from a nervous breakdown. Planning shows the skills of a businessman, which in turn define the future.
• Money and Time are Invaluable: Understand that time and money are the scarce resources. The last tick will never come back and the last penny spent will never be in your wallet again. Expensing time on unnecessary commitments, and spending money on invaluable assets would break your startup. The realistic assessment of expenses must be the part of your planning.
• Vision Needs Involvement: Vision of the startup you saw is of the same value as of dirt, unless you are capable and able to make your ATM’s aka investors, and your gods aka consumers understand it. Your vision needs your involvement and a clear picture of what you expect from it. The success is bound to follow.
