 Are you thinking about starting a business in 2019, but don't know how or even where to begin? This article outlines the biggest obstacles to overcome, what you need to start your business, and what to do after year one!


THE MYTHS OF STARTING A BUSINESS


When thinking about starting a business you want to think about "Why are you starting the business?" Often times someone decides to start a business with the mindset they will have more free time, work at home, and have a flexible schedule. Unfortunately, it is important to avoid these myths. Majority of the time, starting a business isn't any of these things. Instead, it is long hours, working at home may be a distraction, less flexibility, and there are many hats to juggle. It's completely different then working for a company and it is important to keep all of this in mind when deciding if starting a business is right for you. If it is, then let's dive into getting started with your business idea!


Attitude is EVERYTHING. You need to always keep a cheery attitude. Many things are going to happen during the lifecycle of the company, both good and bad, and the most important thing is to keep a positive attitude.


BIGGEST OBSTACLES TO OVERCOME


The two biggest obstacles startups face when starting a business is money and reputation. You need to make sure you are able to stay afloat and have a means of financing when starting out. And reputation is also an obstacle because you don't have a reputation or customers. Unless you start out with a group of customers, most of the time you are starting out very alone.


WHAT YOU NEED?


VIABLE PRODUCT


You need to provide a product/service that people want to buy. Researching similar products/services is important to see what else is out there that is similar to your idea and then determine how your product will be better than the competition. It is also important to be able to bring experience to the table. It is the experience you have that will make the company. Typically, you want to have a niche so you can take a focused approach and decide what type of company you want it to be. Lastly, you need to consider if you can sell enough of your product or service to make a living. Will you be able to cover all of the expenses and salaries that come with a business?
