I hate it when someone says ... , Then I would have done. ... When someone says that, I always remember the song If I had a Hammer, and start singing it to myself, when not yet fully uttered the phrase ... ... , Then I would have done. ... There is only one exception: when the phrase says a man who moved me a lot more of something, as I just started. ( then I broke the painful life, and showed that the experienced people, with their advice can save you a lot of time, nerves and money).
My reaction is caused by two factors. First, before you were in my place - not clever, you nifiga about me and my place does not know. Second, if you're so smart, then take and make.
The last couple of months, I have specifically talked a lot with young people (16-22 years) and I realized that many of them as if they want to do something, but do not know where to start. Some of them are reading my blog, sometimes come to some events are sketchy information, try to do something for yourself vzvalivaya burdens. Usually receive abysmal results.
I looked at this thing, I remember, many present-day entrepreneurs who raise their serious projects, but who knew from college-age (eg typed heels ). I decided to write a post on the topic, ... Rather, I am getting old, just write it, but I think that someone that post will be useful. What, no experience, I do have.
So, if I was a student and would like to make your start-up, I would have went and killed himself against the wall.
Before making a start-up, I would have moved all the books written about the well-known startups that made its founders very wealthy. He went on to Techcrunch and in the upper right corner to find a window in which the transparent letters have been written by Google Custom Search. Introduced there would be a magic word deadpool, in the results I would have dug a week, for 8 hours a day, driving himself into a depression. After that, I would ask myself. Question number one. ... If the answer is ... Idiots is not among them ).
If I answered a ... And then a couple of times to re-read only selected places. Forcing yourself into a depression.
After this answer. Question number 2. :. ... If the answer is no, then we know what to do with herself. Most rooms have two or even three walls that have no windows and doors that will not stop us killing ourselves to these vertical surfaces.
If we went through to the second question, we reread all of the same book, noting the red marker to all those places where entrepreneurs anyone say the phrase ... ... And then we'll answer. Question number 3. ... ...
Most read nothing else, if we have left their blood and brains on the horizontal surfaces, the following answer to the following questions should we draw the head. We have read a lot. Question number 4. :. ... and. Question number 5. :. ... Answers ...
The answer is ... The main question: ... and only in this question the answer 'no' will bring you into the world of prosperity, when you can choose a different track, comfortable, implying salary, bonus and insurance. If your answer is ...
If you are not aware of that going to do that is not enough that you fill up the ranks ... startups. ... entrepreneurs. So you still move the hurl a lot of people, both investors and its employees and customers. ... If you navigate away from this path, then all of your failures are gone wasted. This dealer each iteration brings its own success, unless he resigns, then all the victims - waste.
I sincerely hope that most students were able to answer the four questions ... And rightly so. It is not given to all. According to various studies, entrepreneurial talent have no more than 10% of the world's population, most of which is building family businesses (stores, gas stations, shops, small companies ) and in the succeeding (success, in this case, the ability to feed the family). Less than 1 % can think of the big categories, and even fewer of them can build a great company. The sooner people realize that it is not given, it is - ...
Those who are inwardly prepared to try to clearly understand two things:.
- Experience counts.
- The experience necessary to get a little blood.
There are only two ways to help you gain experience.
first. of them involves the use of foreign experience. Experiences of others can be obtained in two ways. The first way - to find a successful entrepreneur, and go to his new project as early as possible to see how experienced people are building a project from scratch, standing behind them and offering shells. Learning by doing. This method is, by the fact that we can scroll through the previous five questions in my head right along the. Very quickly sobers.
The second way - to get the right mentor. In our country it is difficult to implement, because of the lack of mentors. All successful people are still in business and can not be distracted, in addition, such people is very small ( two-handed enough to count them on fingers ).
The second way. - To build their businesses. This path can intersect with the first. And then there are a few recommendations.
There are several key skills of the entrepreneur, who need to develop:.
- The ability to find the problem by.
- The ability to come up with the correct solution to this problem.
- The ability to identify markets.
- The ability to assemble the right team.
- The ability to scale the process of.
If you have talent, even without the involvement of finance, you can begin to build a business.
One thing you must remember that the phrase in the Internet business, as well as in the phrase technology business, the key word. BUSINESS.
And so the recommendation novice Internet entrepreneur:.
a. Always look for possible problems in the. If you or someone in your environment stloknulsya with any problem, you should always be in my head, no more than 1 minute answer the following simple questions:.
- How severe the problem?.
- How many people can feel it in the city, country, world?.
- What are the solutions?.
- Can come up with something more efficient than existing solutions?.
- As easy as possible to attract users, if an effective solution will be found?.
- Whether users are willing to pay for it OR HOW TO MAKE IT EVEN POSSIBLE?.
- If I have the resources to make the first move?.
In 99 (9) % of cases, you will not find anything interesting, but:.
- There is little chance other than 0, you will stumble on a good problem.
- You train your brain all the time in finding, at some point you're going to do on the machine, without hesitation, the hypothesis itself will come and fall off immediately, others after a detailed analysis, the third crash of an opinion by.
2. Use the resources available. Your resources - these are your friends and colleagues. You always have to analyze their environment and each person should have a clear picture on the following items:.
- Can this man get in the team, as he is responsible and workable?.
- That it can motivate to participate in the project (money, share, fan, ambition, interest, a line in the summary )?.
- What role in the project, he can perform (CTO, CMO, VPS, a developer )?.
- Its strengths and weaknesses.
Also people have different programs to support start-ups, student initiatives, grants. You have to know where, who and what can help.
Your brain must be trained in the recognition and analysis of new people in your community. Working through the project, n1. you should have to figure out which of your surroundings can become part of a team.
3. All hypotheses must be verified by the market. Rather than experts and consultants, and the more you communicate with potential customers in the process of planning, development, sales, the sooner you realize your project is worth something or not.
4. Most successful projects to simple genius. Over the past 10 years the cost of launching a new startup has been reduced to the cost of development and design, a simple project that means to find a team of several people. Do not complicate the project, it increases development costs and confuses the user. The solution should be simple, easy and elegant (think Twitter).
You have to absorb information like a sponge. Due to the dynamic process of business then do not write books. Experience derive only from blogs and online media. You must read resources such as Techcrunch, Mashable, TheNextWeb, VentureBeat, read blogs, successful entrepreneurs and investors. Closely monitor the trend. Attend masterclasses successful entrepreneurs and investors. Visiting a conference, you should understand that the conference - it's not a place where knowledge is obtained, and the place where communications are. If you have an alternative - to get acquainted with an interesting person or listen to a presentation by Steve Jobs, do not spit on the thinking of Steve, you always find it on YouTube, and the person you miss.
And when you start your first project, only if you open the next layer of problems that will stand before you as an entrepreneur before. Only then will begin PATH, all the rest - training.
PS: here I am reminded that we must not forget to write that we have. incubator. ,. kreshtest. The conference for students (announcement vyll bi sun, can be monitored from the. distribution. ). ayforum. and blah blah blah, you know.
