PART 1 why you want to become entrepreneur

Why do you want to build a business? Hopefully, it is not one of the reasons I shared above. You need a
strong reason. You are the only one that can find out your why. Until you find out a strong why, I don’t
think you should venture into business

.A. They Don’t Want A Boss Becoming one’s own boss’.

B. They Do Not Want To Work Long Hours .

C. They Want More Money…Now .

D. They Just Discovered A New Business Opportunity.

Deciding to start your own business is a leap of faith. It requires pushing out of your
comfort zone and trying something new. If that idea excites you, why wait around?
You’re ready to take the leap and be the CEO of your OWN COMPANY. It’s a lot of work
and there are some risks, but the potential for rewards is huge. If you’re not convinced
yet, here are 10 of the best reasons for starting your own business.

1. Each day at the office will be motivating.


When you’re working for someone else, it can be tough to find the motivation to do the
best possible work. No matter how much work you put in, the owners of the company
will get the ultimate rewards.

When you’re your own boss, you’ll find motivation at work every day. Following your
dreams is exciting, and you’re in control of your own success. The day-to-day vitality of
your business depends on you, so you’ll be driven to make each day as productive as
you can. You’ll know that your own hard work and drive will help you reap the rewards,
and that’ll keep the fire burning in your belly to make each day count.

2. You’ll be following your passions.


Many entrepreneurs start their own business to follow their dreams and fulfill their
passion. Following your dreams will fulfill you in a way that working for someone else
may not do. You are in charge of creating your business from the ground up, so you can
shape your company to be something you’re proud of and that you may even be able to
pass on to your children as your legacy.
3. You can pursue social justice or support non-profits.
One of the most fulfilling parts of becoming an entrepreneur is setting up your
company for social gain. You can opt to support non-profits, charities, or community
efforts with your profits. Or you can set up your business to solve a problem in your
community or in the world at large – whatever your passion may be. Starting your own
business gives you a unique opportunity to make the world a better place.

4. You can achieve financial independence.


Many people commit to starting a business with the dream of financial comfort. While
it’s true that getting your company off the ground can take grit and result in some lean
times while you’re getting started, the ultimate goal of being your own boss is
cultivating financial independence. With determination and hard work, there’s no cap on
how lucrative your own business can be. If you aspire to build wealth, there’s no reason
why you can’t achieve that goal.

Starting your own business has several financial benefits over working for a wage or
salary. First, you’re building an enterprise that has the potential for growth – and your
wallet grows as your company does. Second, your business itself is a valuable asset. As
your business grows, it’s worth more and more. You may decide to sell it or you may
hold on to it and pass it down to your heirs. Either way, it’s valuable.

5. You can control your lifestyle and your schedule.


Perhaps you’ve spent years in the corporate world and you feel ready to turn over a new
leaf after years of reporting to a superior. Starting your own business can give you
a more flexible lifestyle and schedule so you don’t feel like you’re running in circles on
that corporate hamster wheel. You can opt to schedule meetings around your family
schedule or you can opt to work from home – the sky’s the limit when you’re the boss.
You still have to get the work done, but nobody’s looking over your shoulder making
sure you do it their way on their time.
Starting a business is hard work, and that flexible schedule may not happen right away.
Even if you’re working long hours, however, you know that you’re doing it for yourself
and your family and not for a distant boss or shareholder.

6. You can start from scratch.


This is your business! You make the rules. You’re not restricted by the standards and
procedures of your boss or corporate culture. You can offer a product or a service that
fits your vision. You can also build your company according to your own ideas. Maybe
you’ve thought of a way to make processes more efficient. Maybe you want to make
sure your employees get fair wages and family leave time. Whatever problems you’ve
encountered in the working world, you have a chance to do something different with
your own business.

Many entrepreneurs say that once they’ve sampled the freedom of being their own boss
and calling the shots at running their own company, they’d never want to work for
someone else again.

7. You’ll get tax benefits.


Starting your own business takes funding and it may take some time to turn a profit, but
you can start taking advantage of some substantial tax breaks right off the bat.
Government programs support small business entrepreneurship and seek to reward
these endeavors with impressive tax incentives. You’ll want to work with a financial
planner or an accountant to make sure you’re setting up your business in a way that will
allow you to get the benefit of these government programs.

Note that there are also a variety of programs aimed specifically at business started by
women and minorities, so you may be able to get grant funding and other benefits to
get your business off the ground.

8. You’ll have true job security.


The stress of climbing the corporate ladder is real. You never know whether you’ll be
promoted or whether you may be handed a pink slip – these life-altering decisions are
in someone else’s hands and beyond your control. When you start your own company,
you know you’re investing in your future and in your own job security. Moreover, should
you choose to start a family business, you could be providing jobs for other members of
your family, as well. Your destiny is in your own hands – no more layoffs in your future.

9. You’ll become an expert at a broad range of skills.


Part of running your own business is learning to wear a lot of different hats, especially
early on. You’ll have to pick up a lot of new skills, from HR decisions to inventory
management to customer service. You’ll soon become a pro in your own industry, as
well as a pro at a variety of new skills you’ll learn on the job. As your business develops,
you’ll continue to pick up new knowledge and abilities. You’ll know how every tiny
aspect of your operation works. You can’t get that kind of experience anywhere else.

As your business grows, you may opt to continue manning the helm for those tasks you
enjoy – whether that’s graphic design or accounting – but you can outsource those tasks
that you dread. You can also turn those skills to new tasks. Who knows? You may even
want to start another business!

10. You can be creative.


It’s up to you to decide what your business will produce, sell, or which services it will
offer – that’s exciting! Rather than following the formula of those who came before you,
you’re looking at a chance to develop a concept or an idea that nobody else ever has.
Even if you stay mainstream with your product or service, each day as an entrepreneur
allows you to find new, outside-the-book ways to problem solve. Innovation and
creativity are necessary traits for a successful entrepreneur, and you’ll hone those skills
daily.

Knowing that each day brings new challenges, exciting opportunities, and a chance to
engage your passion is reason enough to start your own business. Knowing that you’ve
decided to take control of your own future is empowering. What are you waiting for?
The time is now!
PART 2 HOW TO DECIDE ON THE KIND OF BUSINESS YOU SHOULD DO

1.Don’t Create A Product or Business and then Look For Customers… Rather Look For What People Want
and Then Create A Business Around It

I decide on what to sell only AFTER I have seen a market that wants to buy. Rather than create a product
and look for customers, I discover customers (market) and then create a product or service for that
market. I am not in love with any kind of business or service. I am in love with the market. I will sell
anything (legal) that will satisfy that market. You should find a market and their desires, create a
business around it

The point is I followed a sound business and marketing principle and you should be like that to. Forget
the ideas you currently have and let the demands of a market influence the kind of business you do

2. Sell What People Want To Buy… Not Necessarily What They Need To Buy

PART 3 HOW TO BECOME NUMBER ONE IN YOUR MARKETPLACE

When names are being mentioned as to who the top guy in your industry is, your name should come up
in the argument. The truth is that it is hard and it can take you years of building, branding and credibility
to get there. But I have a smart short cut you can follow which is

Be The First In Your Market Place,

1. you have engraved your name in that marketplace no one can ever take from you even when others
come with better products and services. you will be able to use the tag anywhere and no one will be
able to dispute it. Using the tag of being the best is debatable.
2. people will see others as a copy of you and if you are doing a decent job people will always refer to
you as the gold standard of that industry.
you already have a business and you cannot possibly be the first, what should you do?
1. Add a Part or Feature No One Else is Doing to Your Business
PART 4 HOW TO ADVERTISE FOR MAXIMUM PROFITABILITY
some of the reasons why people advertise.
