Everyone starts smalI in everything that they do. None of my mentors or people that I admire in business has started big, they all started small. One thing they had in common was that, they had big dreams. Dreams that one day, they too will be big. It is better to start small and gradually grow bigger each day. Big corporates started small. I used to feel like for people to succeed they start big. Experience taught me that if you rush to be big, you will crush before you even start.
Research at your library and any other information center will be valuable in helping you to start very well. Gather facts and relevant info wbout what you really want to start. It is not recommended to start a project without gathering more information. Always ask questions and advice from those who entered the industry you want to enter first. Join industry associations and forums, and participate in their caucases, get as much infomation as you can get from these organisations. Industry associations will make it easier for a starter to get to know he who's who of the industry. If you do not know where to find your industry association / forum, I recommend you use search engines like google.
Plan how are you going to approach your industry. Choose one service that you would like to render and specialise with. Focus on it and develop your knowledge and skill only on that particular service. When attending industry meetings organised by your associations make people aware that you render a particular service and should they need it, you are the expert to be contacted. Focus on that rendering that service, and you will soon be recognised as an expert. Word will move within the organisation that you are an expert and you will soon start getting business. Always keep on researching about your industry and developing yourself further. There is nothing satisfying, than a well informed service provider.
Building your name takes a lot of time and requires patience. Destroying your names takes less than a second. It is quick to destroy a brand and takes longer to build it. Protect yourself as a brand, because you will now be in the public space. Things that you do in a public space may bring or push away business. Be careful of what you do, you better keep your potential clients coming back to you and referring their friends to you, rather than losing them.
Be patient with yourself, all big brands started small and yet they persisted as they knew what they wanted. As a start-up, dream big and see yourself where you want to see yourself. Write your goals down and paste them where you would see them daily. Read them and collect pictures that will remind you of your goal. Collect information about your goal(s). Soon you will start seeing things happening that willl be taking you closer to your goal(s).
"Rome was not build in a day, patience pays"
To your success!!
