If you are typical of people who have an entrepreneurial spirit but still do not recall to have their own business, and you are still not satisfied with your salary in the Office, you could apply some of these tips. The first tip is on leave preparing business. Take leave of absence outside the company’s dependents, 6 months to two years after ready mentally, financially, and so on.

An entrepreneur is not a gambler (players) or risk avider (always avoid risk). It’s a risk taker, risk calculator, i.e. people who dare to take and calculate risk. In fact anyone can do business. But before you start designing a business plan and run a business, there are four things that You must have.

When I teach small business classes on marketing strategy, I often ask participants the question, “Who are your customers? Who will buy your product?” I am often surprised that otherwise savvy small business people either have no idea who will buy from them, or they assume that ‘everyone’ will.

Assumptions like this can lead to wrong decisions, wrong pricing, wrong marketing strategy – and ultimately, business failure.

The most successful small businesses understand that only a limited number of people will buy their product or service. The task then becomes determining, as closely as possible, exactly who those people are, and ‘targeting’ the business’s marketing efforts and dollars toward them.

You, too, can build a better, stronger business, by identifying and serving a particular customer group – your target market.

One of the first things you need to do is to refine your product or service so that you are NOT trying to be ‘all things to all people.’ Become a specialist!

For example, in my business, an Eco-tourism company, we made some specific decisions early in our market planning. As a charter boat business, we knew that there were plenty of fishing charter operators in the area, and ‘party boats’ as well. So we decided that we would offer sightseeing or special event charters, and that we would not allow alcohol on board, or fishing rods. Yes, this decision eliminated a percentage of the market – but it also gave us a ‘niche’ that we could capitalize on, and expanded our market in a way that other charter operators could not take advantage of.

Next, you need to understand that people purchase products or services for three basic reasons:

• To satisfy basic needs.

• To solve problems.

• To make themselves feel good.

You’ll need to determine which of those categories your product or service is the solution to, and be prepared to market it accordingly.

Your product or service may fit more than one category, too – our charter business primarily targets folks who just want to feel good – spending a day out on the water, relaxing and being waited on. But it also targets people who have visitors coming from out of town, or even overseas, because we represent a solution to the problem of “What will we do while our company is here? How can we entertain them, or show them our area?”

The next step in creating an effective marketing strategy is to zero in on your target market. Continue on to the next page to learn how to use market segmentation to define your target market.

A marketing plan outlines the specific actions you intend to carry out to interest potential customers and clients in your product and/or service and persuade them to buy the product and/or services you offer.

The marketing plan implements your marketing strategy. Or, as I put it in my article, “The Key to Marketing: Use a Plan”, “the marketing strategy provides the goals for your marketing plans. It tells you where you want to go from here. The marketing plan is the specific road map that’s going to get you there. “

A marketing plan may be developed as a standalone document or as part of a business plan. Either way, the marketing plan is a blueprint for communicating the value of your products and/or services to your customers.
See Writing the Marketing Plan for detailed instructions on creating a marketing plan for your business, whether as part of a business plan or as a stand-alone.

Formula Business Is About the multiplier factor

More importantly for the beginner business like ours, that businesses sometimes can not be calculated mathematically. In the business does not necessarily 1 + 1 = 2. It has often and much to prove in business 1 + 1 can be 4 could be 10 and so on. Business principles to remember in business is that we must always provide added value in our business. So the formula even be 1 + 1-1 = 5 who knows?

Besides the factors beyond our control should also be taken into account. Spiritual factors, for example. Like the advice of the ulama that the more we will give many accept as well. And remember that the results of our efforts are also attached to the rights of others, we must set aside, we clean, and we give it to the right. Hence the results of our efforts do everything we eat, should also be distributed alm. And rest assured it will increase and accelerate our fortune.

Very often told by Ustadz Yusuf Mansur on congregations experiencing rapid changes in living standards after infaq reproduce, shodaqoh, and zakat. There are already running out of capital and a lot of debt, then it asked for  remnants of property owned. After that there was a turning point and a drastic change. So if you’re running out of capital. Many have already proved “the power of giving”, many charity and bring a lot sodaqoh rizki abundant.

Sorry if I like the lecture, this spontaneous writing course after reading the above comments. The point is if you want to relax in the business, yes the waiting time, that later. If all the people who start businesses can immediately benefit of all, yes surely no one would want to be employees. All would be a businessman, was tantamount to an imbalance of nature. And it is precisely our strength through adversity and turn it into a success is a priceless reward for an entrepreneur.

at a very young age already have the desire for entrepreneurship. And should be more grateful, because already there are friends who want minjamin capital. It was an opportunity that very, very rare. Since most prospective employers are always complaining about the difficulty of getting capital.

As a prospective entrepreneur must always optimistic, no matter what. Do not allow the emergence of negative thoughts. Especially when we want to begin pioneering a new venture for us. The mind must keep focused on positive things, and throw away the negative thoughts. Or make the negative thoughts as a feed-back so that we carefully measure the risks without impeding our steps to get started.

Mbak Puji, our first born never be know how to speak, how to walk, how to eat, etc.. But we as humans have a nature of a fast learner. Likewise in business, all employers must have started their business without any experience. If anyone says “could be an entrepreneur because it has no experience”, it’s definitely not the business of First Instance. As it navigates the world of entrepreneurship is important is the process not merely the end result. In undergoing the process we should be open to continue learning at every step we take.

We also start a business without a hijab and Muslim fashion has previous experience. We have no knowledge and do not understand business problems hijab, even how to start it also does not know. Instead we got a lot to learn and gradually come to understand the details of running our businesses. One more important in opening a business is ready to face the problem.

Some say that as a businessman mission is to solve the problem. Never before opening a business, having opened usahapun problem will come and go. And tasks one by one entrepreneur to solve problems. Each successfully completed one of our problems would go up a class. And so on, so there is rarely an instant entrepreneur, so open the company of big business. Many of you know that savvy entrepreneurs take advantage of problems into opportunities, capitalize on the crisis in order merchandise sells well, just always dodged the tough times

It should also be early-early effort, we made a means of building a system. We trim the books, we continue to alter and upgrade our stores, kiosks, or our webstore. We educate our staff and employees. So on to the road smoothly and the business can not continue to bother us. We improve the workings of our business marketing system as well. If only every day we can increase the 0.1% the year the business running our business has grown 36%.

And importantly in the early days we try to open a business can get a feel or how the soul as an entrepreneur. Usually people say “the soul of business”. And most prospective entrepreneurs often complain afraid to open a business because they have no soul of business. Yes it should start first and learn new first  soul business.

Habits we really just want to see the end result. Like the earlier comment “It seems LIKE FRANCHISE . Actually also the indirect franchise initially jreng abracadabra be like this. It must have gone through the stages of the process of metamorphosis. We look delicious now, but who knows how to fight the first franchise owner in the beginning of his business. Just remember the story of the beginning of KFC’s Colonel Sanders building, how the Colonel offers a recipe from restaurant to restaurant, and from denial to denial.

I always remember the advice of Mr. Hadi Kuntoro as saying that “the difficulties you are facing now, it will be wonderful memories in the future”. And it’s true, you try to remember again that you are facing difficulties in the junior high. Is not now have become memories, that if his memory makes us smile himself.

So think of it so-so, just how long we go in this business. Think of it now you’re planting seeds. Do not rush to pick the flowers and rush like to pluck the fruit. Follow the growth of those seeds. And rest assured there is time later to reap the results.

How to Easily Start a Business / Business casual

To start a business or businesses should not wait for ideal conditions. Sufficient capital, strategic location, skilled employees, the spare time to start a business is an ideal condition. And to get it all at the same time would need a bigger sacrifice.

Especially for those of us who still status as an employee somewhere else, waiting for ideal conditions can be a difficult choice.

One option for an employee to have your own business is to open a sideline business. So that we can keep working and get a paycheck. And we tried to get additional income through the business that we pioneered.

Open a sideline business can be a nice option if we can determine the type and scale of business over the interests and our capabilities. If indeed we have ideal conditions, the option to open a company, opened shop, or take a franchise is the right choice.

But for those who have not dared to take risks by opening its own stores, there is an easy option to immediately start a business, namely the consignment system.

With consignment system we entrust our goods to the shops, stalls, or mini / supermarket others. We do not need to have my own shop and do not need to have its own employees. Obviously it will save a lot of cost. We just need to invest in merchandise and investment of time plus the energy to offer to the store to others. Barangnyapun not be homemade, can goods we buy wholesale and then we Leave to several stores.

Consignment agreements can be flexible, to small shops such as our kiosks, just done amicably / consensus agreement and an agreement more easily. How many items are placed, how much, when to check, when payment is made, and other agreements discussed together and after a deal or both parties agree then the consignment can be run. There is good agreement be in writing (and rightfully written) although in a simple format, so if there are disputes, there are already guidelines.

To entrust the goods to companies that have large (mini market or supermarket) course requirements are more stringent. The supermarkets have set conditions that must be met.

Our experience after his shop looks alive (a lot of customers and many transactions), there are many who come to offer consignment. Initially we were very careful, there are worries the goods will not sell. But lot of consignment items are sold at the stall.

Kiosk goods offered to us is also diverse. Initially only the headscarf and similar products, then there’s that offer perfumes, and even now there is a deposit bag lady. The owners of the goods left at the stall, periodically check behavior or not, need to be added or not. Sometimes it is also quite done and if it is sold, the owner of the goods coming into our kiosks to receive payment of the goods sold.

If it’s just for a start in business gait, very, very possible and even easy to get started without capital money. I never did when I was a primary school. Come to where I live who I have a grocery store and I borrow some fireworks packs for  in the market. I can earn money (profit sharing) without capital. All you have is a matter of scale pilah2 business. If we start a business without capital money, do not be  lose (force myself) to launch a large-scale effort. Unless you really have the resources-resources (resources) are inadequate. Running a business without capital money, it should be intended to raise capital. Only when capital raised, again played to raise it and open new business after sufficient capital desideratum. Alternatively, if you do not have any money so borrowed. We can open a business with borrowed money of others. Potential to be able to open a business with minimum capital’s wide open, we can seize opportunities to stay TSB or not and want to run it or not
