5 TIPS ON GETTING STARTED IN BUSINESS – WEEK 1

1)You have to be Bold about your business.

You have 5 - 10 seconds to grab my attention. You don't have a second to waste. Every moment on line, every interaction is an opportunity to build your network, get a client and send someone to the check out point. So Talk!

Post your photo or logo and say who you are. Why waste a minute in hiding? If you are going to start out as a “secret” business, your business is most likely to remain in secret. You can’t build a business in disguise, nor a website until you know what you want to do. So, tell us HOW to do business with you. This is your Call to Action.

2) Say it, Claim it, and own it.

You have to first figure out exactly what you are doing, or what you want to do. This is the beginning of your plan, for example:

1.I am an Atlanta Real Estate Broker [My career]

i.I work with buyers and sellers

ii.I work with Investors and first time home owners

iii.I work with clients that are out of state and over seas

iv.I can work with single transactions and bulk sales

3.I am a Full time student studying Organizational Leadership

i.For a school project, I am developing a Team study for The Young Entrepreneurs Project [My passion] To help them create successful businesses by plugging into 5linx.

ii.I need Team leaders, mentors and sponsors to partner with me to help them and to help me with the study

iii.The study is to determine if given a turnkey system, the tools and training – success can be duplicated by anyone.

4.Our team is looking for Business leaders to sponsor a youth

to create a team – and coach them into success merely by duplicating a specific system.I am looking for a total of 100 leaders in the United States or Canada to participate in this study.Business leaders who participate will be compensated for creating successful student entrepreneurs under my study.

3)Now - You say who you are what you want and what you want to do.

Be bold and proud- Show your Call to action

4)Who is your target market?

Start developing a network within your target market.

5)Research

Look for successful companies that are similar to yours and see how your niche can be of benefit to a group of people.

1.Do a Survey – (I will be adding a survey today)

In conclusion, you have to spend the time to write it down.Later, you can go back and narrow it down to be more specific.The most important thing is that you start working toward your business daily. Don’t just jump into a business. Business takes research and planning. Plan well. Then gather the tools and resources to bring it all together. Be sure to continue reading my blog for week 2 tips.
