5 questions to ask yourself before starting a start- up
In this entrepreneurial age where everyone founds a CEO inside him or her .It’s easy to view yourself in your future mirror and believe in your dreams.
But it’s even better to ask yourself for whom and for what purpose you are going to do this.
“The art of delegation is one of the key skills any entrepreneur must master”- Richard Branson
So, these 5 questions are not the tough to answer but are essential to be known for self awareness.
Before diving into it if you think entrepreneurs are the biggest billionaires or millionaires let me clear you this that a child working in the tea- stall who can invest his time and help the person around him by providing them the delicious tea. Is also an
Entreprenuer
1 . Am I solving any problem ?
Your idea doesn’t have to resonate with Steve jobs or Mark Zuckenberg or doesn’t have to be so fancy.
It only needs to be a puzzle solver an idea that can solve and bring a change in other people lives .
“If I had an hour to solve a problem I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions” — Albert Einstein
So, try to find any idea that can solve any problem, merely it could be small but big would be even better.
And if someone tells you that your idea is not worth it then believe me -”It is “ ☺ just stay there.
2. Is my product valuable ?
Whether it’s just starting a blog to raise your personal brand or selling a product that’s in your head for years.
Just start but think also
- What value I would be providing to my customers through this?
- Is it adding value to their lives?
- Is this the product I really believe in?
After,answering the questions let your heart settle with your mind.
Sit down and make a list of your answers and then review it.
You are going to track each and every possibility of making your product not the perfect yet the best product that can convert lives.
3. Did I have a supporting core team ?
Your dream team for your start up doesn’t need to be of 10,20 fancy,suit ups with big boys ties employees.
No,you can start in a pair of two or three as well.
I know you are extremely talented yet you are not perfect( don’t get offended )
In simple words you need to go far and that can only be done by moving together not by moving alone.
So,you need someone who can believe in your vision,your product,your services,can help you making fertile your infertile land.
“Coming together is a begining ,keeping together is progress,working together is success”- henry ford
4. Is my ROI in a debt itself ?
Never pump all your money and capital while you are just getting started .
It’s your start up and yes you do need money .I am not being romantic here to say that you don’t need money.
But still if you are having $23 for your next two months in your bank account.
You have already lose the game.
Start small,step by step than gear up and start running.
So many successful entrepreneurs have started from 0 and have gone to 1 and one thing you can take from them
Is never quit your job it’s your side hustle which provides you food to eat and pay the bills.
For your startups you do need to invest but not on the cost of your needs.
5. Is it a long term vision ?
The greatest mistake or in general the common mistake any newbie entrepreneur can make is to think of a short term goal.
And is never shoving themselves to thing about a long term goal or a vision.
You are not here or in this field to just for the sake of selling a product and making money on daily basis.
You are solving a problem,you are bringing smiles on others face,you are helping them by validating that this product or services can make their life better.
So,raise your thoughts,the way you are thinking.
And think about how can you scale your vision,how can you share gratitude to this world and in return expect nothing yet just the well being of your vision which can go on and on.
This is what you would be doing and I know it 😊
Because you are smart and you are worthy also.
