1. Introduction: Hello, My name is Clement. I'm a civil engineering
technician and an entrepreneur. And my interest in intrapreneur will help you
because I want to share with you techniques
of how to be creative generally in life
and in business too. And so my lessons are for
every age and every group, whether you're a beginner or
you will have advanced in a certain knowledge of
business or creativity. Checkout my lessons. I believe that the
practical and the simplicity of the steps I'm
going to share with you.
2. Managing Personal Expenses: Hello, welcome to
my first lesson. I'm going to share
with you how to best manage your finances. And managing a personal
finance is all about control. Do you have control
over your finances? Do you realize that
control that you have? And if a person is
this organized in managing their own finances
means they lost control. So how do you gain that
control or rather, how do you strengthen that
control over your finances? That's what we want to look at. So you might want to
adopt a three views. How you give yourself perspective towards the
income that you receive, whether it's salary or whether it's allowance or any
income that comes. You might want to give yourself these three categories or
these three perspective. First one is personal expenses, second one is investment, and the third one is charity. And I'm going to go in detail on each of these categories. Personal expenses. Well, we know that everyone has personal expenses whether
they work or not, but let's say you
have your own income and you want to control it. Regarding these
three categories. Let me mention that
these categories are very, very important. And I'm going to
explain how, alright, personal finances or personal
expenses, so to speak. Personal expenses or more of those expenses that
you can live without. You can live without, and expenses that you can
actually live without. Meaning and the
personal expenses you, you've got to realize that there are there is
that difference. There are those that
you have less control over and those that
you have full control. And so just mentioned
of those that you can, you cannot control
things like salary, things like bills and insurance. This you have less control over, but those that you
have more control, or rather those that
you can live without. More of a luxury,
more of comfort. Those ones like vacation fund,
you know, entertainment. And so you have to budget fester for those you can live
without after you budget, including, by the way, including emergency money, a standby money because there are things that you
can anticipate, make sure you include that. And then after budget
for that budget, even for those that
you call comfort ones, accessories, the ones that you want to add on
comfort to your life. But this one's notice, you can actually control. You can control. So it depends on the
season, the time, it depends on you, the mood, which ones to
include it that season. And so if you do that, you will find that you have
control over your finances. Alright, let's talk
about investment. Well, this one, do it set
aside a ratio of money? Like I said, three categories. Three categories. You choose the ratios, choose the ratio for
personal expenses, choose the ratio for investment, choose a ratio for charity, choose a percentage,
so so to speak. And so investment
is you actually deliberately position yourself
to become more richer. Because as long as you get the income BY is enough
to invest some money, be wise enough to be
a business person, even if you don't
have an idea yet. But that setting
aside some funds, the money that you hire
to generate more income. And it's gonna challenge, It's going to compel you to
start looking for investment. Even if you're not
good in money, it's going to compel you now to take
responsibility to over this money that you have
decided to be an investment. So that means that start talking to people
about business, started researching
about investment. It can invest, it can be, it can be just an
investor initially, just invest in businesses
without taking part in them. Oh, you can start
lending business that, cultivating, that
creative attitude. Start leaning how you can
come up with best ideas so that you use this account
called investment and monitor. The next lesson is about that. It's about creating
that attitude. How you identify business
ideas which can be, which can suite you and which
can be very profitable. Now, the third category, which is the last, is charity. This is just giving
yourself a motive of life, giving yourself that motivation
also and that sense of purpose take part into helping other people
set money aside. It can be a family member, you can help them
from this account. It can be someone
you feel led to, help, maybe taking part in any charity to x that gives
you a sense of peppers. It motivates you with the
rest of your finances. And it gives you
strength that what you do with your mind
is very important. I will see you in
the next lesson, how you cultivate
creative attitude for the rest of your life
and even for business.
3. Cultivating A Creative & Innovative Attitude: Now, how do you cultivate a creative and
innovative attitude? You need this, not just
in business though, I'm going to share
in light of business you needed in every involvement. As a leader at work in
a space of project, you need that creativity and I believe that this will help you, especially because
it's practical. So I want to share with you about five attitudes
that you want to adapt it to help you stimulate your mind to help
you become more creative. You already are in a
space of creativity. Or if you really, really despise your ability
to be an entrepreneur, to be a creative somebody. This is your lesson. End. The attitude that you want to adapt is actively
seek for ideas. That's a very important decision to do that wherever you go. Now, whatever material you read, you're going to
read on the basis or judge it on the basis
of whether it will give you that platform
to see an ID in it or somehow generate
the idea from it. So actively seek ideas
wherever you are. Your routine just decided
that from here on, I'm going to identify ideas for whatever
project or business. In general. The second habit you
want to adapt is, right? Ideas down as simple as it is and as self-explanatory
as it is, it's very important to work
with a pet or something. Be ready to write a business idea anytime
or a project ID, anytime, wherever you are. Because it's very important to write it as soon as possible. As soon as you get it, write it down and keep that list of ideas and regularly find time to go through them over and over because you'd find
out that one I did Can, cannot be beneficial on its own, but it can be beneficial
to the other idea. And if you go through
ideas regular, you, you eventually be able
to combine them in a new concept that you wouldn't
if you didn't do this. The third one is
break your routine. You see when we live
a life of routine, our minds as regards to creativity and
innovation the rest. But if you adopted
that habit of breaking your routine here and sometimes
it stimulate your mind, it challenges creativity in you. You may not know
how great if you are until you break
that routine. And here are a few suggestions. Read the, read a book on a topic that you
don t know about. Talk to a person that you
wouldn't normally talk to. Exploit new hobby,
explaining new sport. You'll be shocked how
much that will challenge you and try to use
different routes. Observe how you do things
in a routine every day and start doing them differently just to experience
something different. And it will give you an idea. It will somehow gives
you that capacity to be creative and discover some
ideas that no one else does. And the fourth one, give
yourself a new perspective. Get in the shoes of a farmer, getting the shoes of
a business person, getting the shoes of a retired person,
getting the shoudl, solve a parent, getting
issues of student and tried to come up with try to
imagine, there are challenges. Tried to imagine
how adult life is. You know, the things that
they alone can experience. And somehow dad will
widen your mind and give you creativity
and give you ideas. And also you can, you can practically do
something like asking people adapt perspective instead of imagining yourself
in their shoes. The other, the other route
you can take is asking them their perspective towards
a certain statement. For instance, or what do you understand about keep
the fire bending? You can hear perspective
of a student. You can hear perspective
of a farmer. You can hear a perspective
of a politician. If you have access to any politician and just
listen to those ideas, they can enhance something in new creativity in
you, so to speak. The last one is u1 to
explore gray areas. Explore gray areas. It's still this one. It will still challenge you. Exploring gray areas
looks like you deliberately become
pessimistic about things. You just identify
the imperfect aspect of a product or a
service or any project, you know, and you ask
yourself questions like, why do if I press this button, this budget is not
normally repressed. What if I press it in? All people go that way? What if I go that way? When you do that, you are
exploring gray areas. You are challenging
yourself from areas that no one wants to touch or no one wants
to test, you know. So yeah, You ask you
you ask questions like, what if this would
be done differently? What if instead of doing this, I do that, or instead of
doing that, I do this. Why do if it's not one word, if it's too just trying to be safely and deliberately
pessimistic about, about products and projects. They tell you in and partnership that there is no service, there is no project, is no product. That is perfect. And so if you do that, you will discover a lot
about your strength to become a creative somebody in your field, even in business.
4. How To Source Ideas: Alright, now that you can manage your finances and have that confidence to manage
your personal finances. And now that you have
creative attitude in any project or in business, how do you practically
sauce ideas? How do you generate
good business ideas? There's a myth that
we want to break. This. Business. Men are good. Entrepreneurs, are
born not made. That's a myth. They
actually made. You can be when in mind now, you can know that by the
lasts lessons we had. So now we're going to go
through these methods. Are these important
aspects of sourcing. Good business ideas. Business ideas don't
come out of the blue. You might want to consider this. The first one is you can
identify business ideas from skills that you
have, personal skills. You can solve these ideas
from everyday activity. You can solve these ideas
from existing problems. You can also solve these ideas from common or shared needs. And I'm going to
explain in detail. Let's start with
personal skills. Don't even know what you have. Sometimes we look
ideas outside and we overlook the
skills that we have. The expertise that we have are the aptitudes that we have. And I mentioned skills, expertise, and aptitudes
is because they differ, especially in business
language skills or the work that you gather and do manually like
carpentry, like a blending? Yes. Those are skills and expertise that goes with
knowledge is the one that you are drained and taught
and you gotta through learning and experiential
training like bookkeeping, accounting, business
management, my kid to management and aptitudes,
you're born with them. Aptitudes and talents
they go together. These are the ones
that this trends that you are born with
a flail fingers, like being artistic naturally. Yeah. So look it
yourself, know yourself, and look at what you
have and then try to identify opportunities
from that perspective. Now let's talk
about the next one, which is common needs. Let me talk about common
needs before the other ones. Well, when you want to study
business or you want to identify good business ideas, do not look for a need of one person because
no one can build a business on in
need of one person, might want to identify
a common need. A need that we know that this is for a group of people or
a group of organizations. Just identify a
few organizations and try to identify Dan needs. What do they need, which is a common
needs, so to speak, or try to investigate what people in the area or
in a target market day, what do they need commonly, what do they need that can
be common or be the same, meaning they need
that they share. Dad can give you the platform to identify good business ideas. You can also identify them
from existing problems. What are your irritations? What are people's irritations? Way, everywhere you go, there's a possibility
that you hear people talk and you hear their complaints out of those complaints
are out of January, irritations, it can
come up with solution. Remember, in a
non-technical language, I'm a problem, needs a solution. It will go in business. That problems, we
call it a need. And then the service
and a product you provide, it's a solution. So try to identify those common challenges in your target area
or target market, or wherever you are, even in your personal life. What are the things that
you're uncomfortable with? This existing problems
can be converted into very good business plan.
5. More Ideas : Let's talk about the fourth one. Everyday activities. Everyday activities
involve shopping, involves media advertisement,
involves people. You talk to, talk to
people on a daily basis. You go to work in these places, try to identify business ideas. Tried to identify, for
instance, at work, what do these
businesses in waking in the institution or whatever
space you're working in, what do they need? What are they being supplied? The width tried to come
up with those ideas to participate or to a supply, or to discover an idea that they're awake or the management of the
place you're waking. They are struggling
with and try to see if you can provide
or tried to see the flaws in your workspace
or work environment and try to come up with a business idea to
provide for those. And also let's talk about
immediate environment. What are the changes
that are taking place in the neighborhood in the please
do leave those changes. Is there a function, is there is there
any introduction of sports events or whatever, whatever change that comes, identify it and try to identify opportunities
for business. What can you do that? Sometimes, sometimes this,
this function can be sports. There is a new spot
introduced and they are going to need Jessie's and supplies. Ask yourself, how can
I participate in this? How can I come up with business ideas to
participate in that?
6. One More Idea: The last one is identify a business idea or generate business ideas from
other sources, like media, advertisements,
trade shows, and even attending
investors associations. If you go there and make
any useful inquiry, you will scoop very
good business ideas.
7. Choosing The Right Business Idea : Let's say now you have gathered a very good creative ideas
and you make a list of them. And now you're wondering
which one should I do? Which one suits me? I'm going to help you with that. Now remember, it's
not good enough to rely on the strength
of your intuition. There are actually
methods adopted usually to evaluate which
idea will work best, which idea to start? You can start a
business idea based on the idea because you like it, or because someone suggested
you have to test it. And then other menu
ways to test it. I'm going to share a few. Now, how do you evaluate which business idea
to start with? Well, it's going
to compel you to evaluate all the ideas
because you're comparing. But first of all, start by categorizing your ideas because some ideas can
add onto other ideas, or some ideas can be
part of other ideas. So try to do that. Try to group ideas by how they
identify with each other. Afterwards. Make single ideas out of that. And this single ideas are
the ones that now you evaluate which one
you start with. Of course, you have
to find out whether this idea is convertible
into a business enterprise. And they call this
feasibility study. That's when you test the idea to see or
evaluate this idea, trying to see if it can be converted into a small business. And this study is more of your ability because in
someone else's hint, it may be converted successfully
into a business idea. The question is, can you convert it into a
business enterprise? And you do that study to see
if this ID can be converted. Afterwards, you
do what is called viability study
variability study is where now you do
in-depth investigation to see if this idea, even if it can be, it can be converted into a
small business enterprise. Enterprise. If it does, is it going
to be profitable? Because an ID can be converted into a small
business enterprise. But after converting it into small business enterprise,
is it profitable? So you want to check that, you want to evaluate that. The question is, how? Well, by answering these
four simple question, the first question, do you want to do while the idea suggests? Let me make an example. Let's say there's an idea to design capital
punishment equipment. Personally. Is that what you want to do? So every idea go with your mood and your
principles of life. So do you want to do
what that idea suggests? You have to answer
that question. The next question is, is there a market for that idea? The other question
is, are you going to be able to provide
services or products? Third, this idea. And also, are you able
to advertise that idea? If you answer yes to
these four questions, then your idea is likely to be feasible and profitable,
that is viable.
8. Choosing The Right Business Enterprise : After evaluating which
business idea to do, you've tested its profitability, potential profitability,
and now it's good. You're confident
that this idea work. Now you're left with which
business enterprise suite you. And for small businesses, there are four types. There's a sole proprietorship
or partnership. There is close cooperation, and there's private company. And you have to go
through this ones to see which one will
teach you the best. They can be reasons why
you choose sole trader. That can be reasons why
you choose company. You just have to lend
them and then that will help you to make a solid
decision for yourself. That makes them an
example with me when I started tutoring
business, which I'm in. Also because I love
entrepreneurship in every aspect. I struggled with patent
ownership between partnership and sole proprietorship
for different reasons. And I realized at that
point that that is a very important which form
of enterprise you choose. Your idea may apply to all
other forms of enterprises. But the decision
is a very crucial. Alright? So what will help you is to
just know the advantages of this enterprise and
disadvantages. Compare. It will help you.
9. Sole Proprietorship: Let's go through sole
proprietorship, as the name says. So it means you alone
own this business. You start this business or low, maybe your own capital
and resources. And there is not much of
the difference between the assets of this business
and your personal assets. And these are the advantages
of a sole proprietorship. You make decisions alone. You enjoy income, the
profit you enjoy alone. And the other advantage
is it's easy to run. Also, it's easy to adapt to change because you
just do decisions. The other advantage,
it's easy to start. The disadvantages are
the degraded wideness is limited to your
personal assets, meaning if IMF credit
to a new sole trader, our help to assess your
personal assets and they can be a limit of how much
I will borrow you. So if your assets
sweat is very low, it means that the
graded that you're worthy of can be
very low as well. The other disadvantage
is you may lose your personal your
personal assets if your business goes under, because now the creditor
will have to attach those losses to your personal,
your personal assets. Now, when you listen to this, it helps you to compare
with partnership, which brings me to the next
form of entrepreneurship.
10. Partnership: Now, the other form of small
enterprise is partnership. The name is self explanatory. And partnership is
formed by a group of people who come together through a contracted agreement
to make a profit through the idea or the
business idea they agree upon, and the minimum number of
partners is to maximum 20. The advantages of this type
of enterprise partnership or that there are opportunities for capital gathering because
now individual partners, they contribute each one
print fixed asset, the money. Diversity, depending
on the agreement. So that is an opportunity to
capitalize in this business. The other advantage is
the management skills and other necessary skills are an opportunity because everyone comes with different
perspective, different skill, aptitude, expertise as a contribution
to wide this business. The other advantage
is it's easy to start like sole trader also, it's easy to manage. So the disadvantage
of partnership is not easy to
find good patents. The other disadvantage is that a loss of one partner is
a loss of our patterns. So it means that every
learner has to do very, very critical decision
that will benefit all. And so you may be
a good partner, but you can suffer the loss
of other, other patterns. The other disadvantage is
that for any good reason, it's difficult for partners to withdraw from the agreement.
11. Closed Corporation : The other type of enterprises,
close cooperation. Close cooperation is formed
by at most ten members. They are called members. And here we don't
talk about profit, we talk about
dividends and we talk about contributions
called interests. And this interests, according to their ratios of contributions
of this members. The members, the run, the cooperation
and the members or the management of
this cooperation. So the advantages
of cooperation is that the laws that
govern it is very easy. And also the members participate in the running
of the cooperation. The other advantage for
close cooperation is that it's not mandatory
to appoint an auditor. Cooperation can just have
an Accounting Officer and other advantages that members
are not a text for the, for the dividends
that they receive. And so disadvantage of this
enterprise is that men by cannot sell their own interests without your consent
of either Nimbus. The other disadvantage
is that even when this enterprise wants to expand, it will now compare them now to convert it into another
form of enterprise. Because now the limit
of membership is ten.
12. Private Company: Now a private company. This is an enterprise
that is formed by maximum 50 share holders. And it exists as a legal
person in all the advantages of a private companies does a company and shareholders
the text separately. And unlike sole proprietorship, the company does not affect the personal assets
of the shareholders. And the other advantage for private companies
that you just follow. You just follow the
code of practice and they are very clear. And the other advantage of this, this enterprise is that their shares and ownership
can be transferred. The other advantage is that the owners or the
shareholders are not liable for any debt
incurred by the enterprise. Now, disadvantages
of private company are there extra causes
of establishment? Founding cost including
registration and licensing, annual subscriptions, and
also cost of issuing shares. The other disadvantage
is that there are extensive prescriptions
of how to manage it and how
to run a company.
13. Business Plan To Execute The Business: Now that you have decided which
form of enterprise to do, you need a plane. Every intention needs a plane, specially executing business. And remember that blend determines the
efficiency of execution. Because now we are going
to a very practical steps. This practical steps guidelines are stipulated by
a business plan. So I'm going to share with the very important
Glenn headings that you should consider because this one's describe the whole
business plan infects. This ones are the pillars
of a business plan. Everything else is attached
to this few headings. So in a business plan, you want to explain a niche, and then services and products, and then goals and objectives, and then marketing plan, and then operational plan,
then financial plan. These are very important
for your business. Let's go through a niche. A niche. First of all, in niche
describes Micah. Micah, the target market population and the location
you are targeting or business to or you're
establishing your business to provide services
and products to. And so you describe that location and
describe your market. And now you make a listing describing the
problems in that market. Now remember that
this problems or needs in business
we call them needs. You describe those
problems or those needs. And you describe how
you are to solve them. Meaning, what are the
services and what are the products you are to
provide to solve these needs. And this is a composition
of your niche, meaning it should be
very competitive, it should be very simple. And I believe it's best if
you write it in print form. If an investor is in a hurry, you just want a clips
of your business. They can just read your niche. And your niche should
convince me as an investor why I should
give you my money. Why should they invest
in your business? In fact, your niche should
be a manager business plan. So we go to services
and products. This heading is where now
you explain and describe what IS services and how
you are to distribute them. Services can be provided and products can
be manufactured, but they need a very, very competitive system
of distribution. So you describe that and
the services and products. Let's cruise over to
goals and objectives. We don't just provide services. We want to make profit, and we want to make profit in a reasonable
amount of time, meaning you give
yourself a time span. This means that your goals
and your objectives, they should be time bound. It's not mandatory,
but it's wise. You want to categorize
your goals. And then after you do
that, Give them time. Maybe in years, in two
years, your company, everything about your
company you want to achieve this level of production and this
level of productivity, this level of impact, and this amount of
profit in two years, in three years, in five years, even in ten years. And so your objectives are now the practical steps you're
going to take to achieve those goals and
objectives to this should be time bound in weeks and
months depending on the go, the tiger to fulfill. Some entrepreneurs
are businessmen. They don't use this heading
as goals and objectives. Rather, they make it to be long-term goals,
short-term goals, others they say long-term goals made it goes and then
short-term goals, it depends on you. What do you want? So if you make long-term goals
and short-term goals, they still follow the
same description I did with goals and objectives. Meaning you will have
those objectives that you want to achieve. Maybe after 15 years
or I mean in 15 years, in ten years, in five
years, in two years. And then there are those
short-term objectives. These are the ones that
you start doing them no sooner you execute
your business. Now sunnier place your business in the market and no sooner you start selling no
sinister distributed. These are the objectives you
set and you should follow. Goals and objectives. They govern the business that rate the governed
the business rate. They determine what
level of speed are you choosing for productivity and distribution of your services. And so time is very important.
14. Marketing Plan: Let's talk about
my cutting plane as self-explanatory as it is. What do we look for
under marketing plan? And the marketing plan, you choose the best advertising
system for your company, your business, your enterprise. And that means that you have to have that study of a market, study of your target market, the lifestyles of people. What platform do they use to get information and
what are trending technologies in the area you are targeting to
provide service to and productive to and do not determine the
advertising method. Let your market
indeterminate for you. Looking at what people
use, do they use phone? Did you use social
media, internet? The location is very
important in people's lives. Very important. So you want to catch
them on their own terms. Remember, you have the solution. Now the question is, how do you make known this
solution to them? How you do that? You
have to find the places. You can find these people. They, they, they give
attention to television, radio, magazines and newspapers. You make that study and then selected those you
can prove to be very effective how they receive
information and use them as advertisement roots
and other suggestions or posters as well? Yes, posters, leaflets, and
even hiring salespersons. It depends on what
you are producing in the area you want to provide
service and product two, and this marketing plan, it also include branding too. Because everything that you
print should be attractive. It should be eye-catching to the potential
customers and clients. Let's talk about
operational plan. The key heading or
subheading two, operational plan is
methods of distributing your services and how you are
to relate with customers, meaning you create
a very strong, solid customer, my k. So if I were to just give
a call to this heading, I would say focus
on customer care, how to best to treat your
customers, the method, their policies, and
remember, business blend. It should also be based on the code of practice
depending on the state, on the see, on the
country you are in. Familiarize yourself with
customer care requirements from the governmental laws
and also the creative how your company is going to handle all your business
enterprise is going to handle the issues between
you as an enterprise, end customers, and
provide the best of it. You might want to ask
yourself this question, what should I provide
that different from my competitors that can compel people to come and
get these services for me. And that is what you work for or work toward under this
heading, operational plan. And also, if it is how you categorize your services is very important and
the operational plan, how you are going to drain. Just briefly explain
how you are to drain, particularly your employees to best offer those
customer services. Now, let's talk about
financial plan. Financial plan is
very important. This one includes
literally liquid icing, everything about your
business that needs to be described in money
terms of initial attempts. It's this heading describes
your business financially. It also determines the
plan of investment, the plan of making more profit. And under this heading, you might want to research on financial projections
and budget team, which also include capital, resources and fixed assets, so to speak, under the capital
of course, and everything. Every sub heading
that's important to you regarding finances you
might want to include. And under this heading
and this headings, they will define the strength
of your business plan. Make a research about the
other useful headings. But remember that whatever
heading you choose, you will discover that
they are attached to these few headings that
I shared with you. I can make few suggestions for other headings,
except this one. You, in your business plan, you want to include
mission statement. You'll want to also
include business profile, which also include logos and
the name of the company, and so on and so forth. Those details that describe a company profile and also a general description of a
company is very important. Quality assurance and
company philosophy. So you can make it 30
research on these ideas, even the ones that
I shared with you, make a federal research
on that and they will strengthen your business plan.
15. How to Finance Your Business idea: Now, how do you finance
your business idea? How do you finance
this wonderful, creative, promising
business idea? I once asked myself
that question because I was like,
I don't have money. Where do I begin? Is only an angel can
just come and put it in. Just know, that will
be simple for me. Well, as a prospective
entrepreneur, you want to change
your mind because that's not where
you're supposed to be looking if you want to
finance your business. Well, money is just money. Look to the controllers of mine. People who are going to finance your
business is not money. It's pupil, pupil control money. Remember, money doesn't
decide on its own. Money does not
behave on its own. Money is always controlled. Mine is just something
in your bang, something in your hands. So what do you want
to work on is, who do I convince? Whose pocket do I convince? You know? And this is the first
mindset you have to give yourself as a
prospective business person. And you work on these routes
to convince people and I'm going to make very useful
suggestions for you. While the first person
to approach is yourself, you are the first investor
to this business. Remember it's your
business and remember, you want to make profit, and remember you want to build your wealth our
own did this idea. So sacrifice is very important. There are some things
that you can do away with cell that projects, small projects that you can
do to finance this business. If you have an income, you can start
setting aside money. For that particular project. You are the investor,
the first sponsor. And there's some things that are important but not
that important, that you cannot do our width for some time and
maybe get them later. Start selling them and make you, make use of those funds. In this project,
gather that capital for your business idea. The next Pi t to our approach for financing your business or sponsoring your
business or your family. Your families, either
potential investors for your business. Now, this is very important. Don't go to them
considering that the family and the health to help you
not believe that mindset, consider them as
business people, consider them even though
they are not in business, but do consider them as
investors and sponsors. So the fact that they
are your family, That's the only reason why
you are approaching them. But other than that, consider them as investors
or potential investors, consider them as potential
sponsors for your business and present it to them and make them understand what
they need to understand. Because everyone who's
gonna give you their money, they are going to give you
them on their own terms. And so you might go and I
listened to what they say, why they criticize and what
they propose and check if you can approve that or maybe look for another
source of income. And before we go to
other suggestions, these are the questions
that Jews opposed to ask yourself when you want to
finance your business, especially if you are
looking for investors. What you should do is get a
perspective of an investor. Get in their shoes and ask yourself the
following questions. Why should I give you my money? What are you going to
do with this money? How are you going
to make profit? And what, what, what,
what might benefit? Well, how am I going
to benefit from that? And so if you come up with
answers to these questions, then you have a presentation towards this
potential investors. Another suggestion
is your friends. Your friends, or potential
investors, again, do not go to them on that
platform of friendship saying, Oh, you are my friend,
so you got to help me, especially your rich friends. Don't approach them
with that mindset that oh your reach or please help me. Don't go through petrifying
yourself, but do this, consider them as
potential investors and present the idea to them as
you would to a nice stranger. As a potential investor. So do other convinced them, hear them, others suggests the other useful suggestion
may come from them. They may not give you
the help that you need, but their suggestions
and they respond to you may help you with
next presentation. Other potential
investors or your former squamates, your
former colleagues, or your acquaintances,
anyone you know, it can approach them
and please don't say, why do they think about me? Well, as an entrepreneur, your mindset should
be different. That's why you are
an entrepreneur. What describes an entrepreneur is decision-making
and creativity. So you can do things on
the basis of anticipation. What would they think about? You want to go and find out
what they think about you. One of the thoughts
would be good, some will be negative, but you know what you want. So go speak to them. Present this idea like you
do to any person and do not go on the platform that they are your acquaintances,
you will know them. The other way of financing
your business enterprise is choosing a form of enterprise that will
give you that benefit. For instance, if you are short in terms of
funds are capitalizing your business enterprise
is not a good idea to do a sole trader because
it's so trade is based on your own acids. But rather you want
to do Partnership. You choose what kind of
partners you are looking for. Maybe you're looking for partners that are not that
active in the business, but there are
partners on the basis of sponsoring of
financing your business. So a form of enterprise
that you choose will also determine how you
are going to raise funds. Private company, for
instance, shareholders. You want people to be part of shareholders
of your company. Dad, in itself, it's a way of
financing your company and even close cooperation to the
fact that there are members who come together
for that business. I did that a method of
financing your business to other method they are
what they call investors. Now, angel investors will
require your time and effort because angel investors are these people who don't
want to be known, but they want to invest in
promising business ideas. And some they do it for free. They don't even want anything. Sunday one justice more share. Someday want
partnership, of course, but you want to search
for those people. Just make a research talk
to business people and do whatever route that is fitting
to find out about this. Angel investors go
to the internet. And also there are grants
to, grants for businesses. You might want to
research on that and also how you
finance your business. You can enter business
idea competition in the state you are in a
country of research about the, those competitions that the
government holds or the organizations holds
where people compete, which is the best business idea. Normally they are safe. No one will it take
your business idea, just go and find the
terms and conditions and then try to see if it's
something that you can actually do to compete. Because you have to trust your
business idea and try it. If it felt like it's
fitting for you. And if your business
with then you get that that whole package of capital
to start your business.
16. More On Investing In Your Business: So the other way of financing
your business enterprise or your business idea is to
approach either business men, business people who are
already doing business. It doesn't matter
whether you know them or you don't just make an appointment and meet them, not just for finances, but also for their suggestions because they have
been in business. And so they may have
useful suggestions. How you can, how you can find ways of
financing your business. But you might be, you might have to
be prepared to two, share a little bit of
your ideas so that they listen and they make
useful suggestions. The other way of attracting sponsors or giving
yourself that. Creativity to discover how
you can best to finance your enterprise is
creating testimonials. And how you do that
is valine cherry. Start doing something
for free or start offering your service
for free for, for quite some time. Don't do it as a business AND do it as something
you can do to help somebody and get
their perspective towards how you
gave that service. If it's a service that
you can provide for free, do it for a number
of people and hear that feedback and create
something out of their feedback. And that in itself is already a successful
market research. For instance, let me say
you are into tutoring, but this tutorial,
you want to do it differently from
a normal jittery. And you want to test
if this will work. But also you want
to finance this. And how you do. You can start
offering lessons for free and start doing
it in that Dewey, that creative, whether you have selected and see people's
responses dad in it. So that in itself, instead of you trying
to get capita, you already get our
customers before capital. And the money that, the money that I tried
to add our customers, it will somehow gives
you that strength to start capitalizing your company. And it needs a very specific way of doing it, but it works. It's something that I myself
have tried here and there, especially in tutoring where I provide free lessons to sum. And this sum, they advertise you by talking to other people about your product just because
you did it for free to them. And it can only work
on those services that people have to pay first
before they get it, right. And that's one of the ways. And if you hear this, you can even be
more creative with other volunteering routes you can take to make your
product known and get money. Now, even though
you don't have much of that capacity to
capitalize your business.
