@alexisanddean: If someone wants to start a business, what is important to think about in the very beginning? #TikTokLearningCampaign #EduTok #Entrepreneurship #startingabusiness #mba
An important factor to think about is don't overthink it. A lot of intelligent people think too much and never do anything. Go with your idea. Test it. Win or fail you'll learn a lot. Don't give up and keep going.

You can never ever know if a business is profitable without trying it, you can analyze as much as you want but you will never be 100% sure, so the best thing to do is if there is atleast 40% chance of it working go for it, if you fail you knew it,its not surprise but most important thing is you need to be willing to risk.

1. Are you willing to work more than 40 hours a week and live low for a few years while you get established? 2. What are your margins? What is your risk? 3. Do you understand business taxes, liability, payroll, etc. 4. Is this something you are actually good at or do you just love it? If you just love it and can’t make money, it’s just a hobby. 5. Try to do it with the least amount of help from a bank. Interest and debt can get you in a hole quickly, depends on what your business is. Make sure you create a separate checking account for your business to keep track of income and expenses.

Here is something they should think about...DO NOT go into business with a partner, make sure you have a good attorney, and keep a positive cash flow.

Bake/desert goods. 1. Most people are unable to bake, so I will bake/create homemade goodies. 2. Sales to my company and human gathering. Capital gains/losses. Also I like to add: not quit your job immediately and don’t expect the business to jump immediately. It takes time.

The absolute most important thing to think about before starting a business is not your passion, your logo, or your business plan. It is Distribution and Capital Leverage. You can have the most revolutionary product or service on earth, but if you do not have an aggressive, unshakeable system to reach paying customers and convert them instantly or over a certain window, your business is dead on arrival.

Value proposition is the most important thing missing in many new businesses...everyone says my product is "the best", that's not enough to differentiate things for the customer 😉

I tend to reverse the process with some clients by saying “before you tell me what it is, tell me why” and it gets to the core of the product much faster.
