6 étapes pour une petite entreprise prospère
A few days ago, I finally followed through on what I have been meaning to do for a very long time....form an LLC to expand my business of websites/blogs. I have called it ATA Consulting LLC. The reason I have given this name is because 'Consulting' is a very broad category and thats why I'm not limited to just websites and blogs.
Below is a 6 step process to building a successful business.
1. Start Smart
2. Plan Ahead
3. Set up Systems
4. Seek out Sales
5. Aim for Growth
6. Leverage Opportunities
1. Start Smart.
Identify a niche. Don't compete to be the lowest cost provider. Look for what makes your product or service unique and adds a special value for the client and charge for that value. Every business has many facets. Start with what you know and like; start a business that has meaning to you. Keep in mind that we don't know what the future holds, many of the jobs and businesses of tomorrow don't exist today. You can create your own success.
Now is the time to dream. To start smart, you should like the idea of the business. The way to earn a good income and build wealth is by serving clients well, making their life better in some way-it's more than filling a need in the marketplace. To succeed you want to test the idea to make sure your potential clients like the idea too. Test your ideas.
2. Plan Ahead.
People often ask me why bother with a business plan? Look at the lottery as an example. You may get lucky and get the winning ticket, but the odds are against you when you rely on random chance. I'm a risk taker...but not that much, minimize the risk of going into business and maximize your potential for success. Take the time to write a plan of how you get from point A to point B. A plan gives you a clear future focus and increases your chances of success.
The first rule of a start-up is put some of your own money in the business. As the owner you must be willing to capitalize the business. The second rule is put as little of your own money as possible in the business. Prepare your plan and look for funding for your business from multiple sources, which can include a business loan or business line of credit.
Don't go it alone. Plan ahead now to build your team. Your team may include a CPA and an attorney that you work with as needed. Add a mentor from your industry and get a SCORE mentor to help you plan for success. No one has all the answers. You get more ideas and information by building a success, support team that can help you plan ahead.
3. Set up Systems.
The most basic system every business should have is a good financial system. Ask yourself how am I going to generate enough income to support myself and my family. Begin here. Put together a personal budget, so you know what it costs you to live. Now, you can move on to the business budget and sales planning, so you can see how many sales you need to break even and make a profit. The start-up expense plan, operating budget and your accounting software are vital to your success.
4. Seek out Sales.
The daunting question is how do you go about seeking out your first sale. Recognize that since you don't have a big ad budget to be seen by everyone, you need to target a niche and get connected in your market community, be it local, regional or national. You need other people selling for you-not employees-goodwill referrals. Get out and talk to as many people as you can. Join organizations that would have clients for your product or service. Become a visible part of your market, and then ask for the sale. You begin the sales process with people that you know. Yes, it's okay to start with friends and family as your first customers, and then broaden from there.
5. Aim for Growth.
The basic tenant of creating a company is that you own the company. You are not just creating a job for yourself. It's less risk and less investment to get a job. Building a business is creating a company that is more than the job itself. Think about the future. How large do you want the company to be in terms of sales, net profit and employees? Your answer to each of these questions will influence how you grow. There are varying costs and profits associated with growth. It's important to make a deliberate choice early about how you want to grow your company.
6. Leverage Opportunities.
Good luck. Good fortune. Good timing. All play a part in business. As a business owner, be very clear about your core focus for the business and how it serves clients. Your core business is what pays the bills. Then, as an entrepreneur you are about opportunity. When you see a potential opportunity or stroke of luck measure it against your core business focus. Good fortune is great, when it matches your vision for the business. Always consider if a good opportunity is the right fit for your business. If something looks great, but it's not in sync with your long-term plan and budget, think carefully before committing your company's resources.

Il ya quelques jours, j'ai finalement donné suite à ce que j'ai eu l'intention de faire pour un temps très long .... former une LLC à développer mon entreprise de sites / blogs. Je l'ai appelé ATA Consulting LLC. La raison pour laquelle j'ai donné ce nom parce que «Consulting» est une catégorie très vaste et c'est pourquoi je ne suis pas limitée à uniquement des sites web et des blogs.Voici un processus 6 étapes pour bâtir une entreprise prospère.
1. Smart Start
2. Prévoyez à l'avance
3. Mettre en place des systèmes
4. Rechercher des Ventes
5. But pour la croissance
6. Multiplier les opportunités
1. Start Smart.
Identifier une niche. N'entrent pas en concurrence pour être le fournisseur le plus bas coût. Cherchez ce qui rend votre produit ou service unique et ajoute une valeur particulière pour le client et les frais associés à cette valeur. Chaque entreprise a de multiples facettes. Commencez avec ce que tu connais et que j'aime; démarrer une entreprise qui a un sens pour vous. Gardez à l'esprit que nous ne savons pas ce que réserve l'avenir, bon nombre des emplois et des entreprises de demain n'existent pas aujourd'hui. Vous pouvez créer votre propre succès.
C'est maintenant le temps de rêver. Pour commencer à puce, vous devriez aimer l'idée de l'entreprise. La façon de gagner un bon revenu et la richesse est de bien servir les clients, leur rendant la vie meilleure dans une certaine façon, c'est plus que de remplir un besoin dans le marché. Pour réussir, vous voulez tester l'idée de faire trop sûr de vos clients potentiels, tels que l'idée. Testez vos idées.
2. Prévoyez à l'avance.
Les gens me demandent souvent pourquoi s'embarrasser d'un plan d'affaires? Regardez la loterie comme un exemple. Vous avez de la chance mai et obtenez le billet gagnant, mais les chances sont contre vous quand vous comptez sur le hasard. Je suis preneur de risques ... mais pas tant que ça, de minimiser le risque de se lancer en affaires et de maximiser votre potentiel de réussite. Prenez le temps de rédiger un plan de comment vous rendre du point A au point B. Un plan d'insister à l'avenir claire et augmente vos chances de succès.
La première règle d'une start-up est mis certains de vos propres fonds dans l'entreprise. En tant que propriétaire, vous devez être prêts à capitaliser l'entreprise. La deuxième règle est mis comme peu de votre propre argent que possible dans l'entreprise. Préparez votre plan et chercher des financements pour votre entreprise à partir de sources multiples, qui peuvent inclure un prêt d'entreprise ou secteur d'activité de crédit.
Ne faites pas cavalier seul. Planifiez à l'avance maintenant de construire votre équipe. Votre équipe mai inclure un CPA et un avocat avec qui vous travaillez en tant que de besoin. Ajouter un mentor de votre industrie et à trouver un mentor SCORE vous aider à planifier pour réussir. Personne n'a toutes les réponses. Vous obtenez plus d'idées et d'informations en construisant un succès, l'équipe de soutien qui peuvent vous aider à planifier à l'avance.
3. Établir des systèmes.
Le système le plus de base que toute entreprise doit avoir un bon système financier. Demandez-vous comment vais-je générer des revenus suffisants pour assurer ma subsistance et pour ma famille. Commencez ici. Etablissez un budget personnel, si vous savez ce qu'il vous en coûte pour vivre. Maintenant, vous pouvez passer au budget des affaires et planification des ventes, ainsi vous pouvez voir combien de ventes vous devez seuil de rentabilité et réaliser un profit. La start-up dépenses liées au régime, le budget de fonctionnement et de votre logiciel de comptabilité sont indispensables à votre réussite.
4. Rechercher des Ventes.
La question est décourageante comment voulez-vous aller chercher vos propos de la première vente. Reconnaître que, puisque vous n'avez pas un budget publicitaire important pour être vu par tout le monde, vous avez besoin de cibler un créneau et tissez des liens dans votre collectivité marché, qu'il soit local, régional ou national. Vous avez besoin d'autres personnes de vente pour vous, pas des employés de renvois de bonne volonté. Sortez et parlez-en à autant de personnes que vous le pouvez. S'affilier à des organisations qui ont des clients de votre produit ou service. Devenir une partie visible de votre marché, et demander ensuite à la vente. Vous commencez le processus de vente avec des gens que vous connaissez. Oui, c'est normal de commencer avec des amis et la famille comme vos premiers clients, puis d'élargir à partir de là.
5. But pour la croissance.
Le locataire de base de la création d'une société dont vous êtes propriétaire de l'entreprise. Vous ne créent pas seulement un emploi pour vous-même. C'est moins de risque et moins d'investissement pour obtenir un emploi. Monter une entreprise est la création d'une société qui n'est plus que l'emploi lui-même. Pensez à l'avenir. De quelle taille voulez-vous la compagnie d'être en termes de ventes, le bénéfice net et les employés? Votre réponse à chacune de ces questions vont influencer la façon dont vous vous développez. Il ya différents coûts et bénéfices associés à la croissance. Il est important de faire un choix délibéré préliminaires sur la façon dont vous voulez développer votre entreprise.
6. Multiplier les opportunités.
Bonne chance. La bonne fortune. Bon timing. Tous jouent un rôle dans l'entreprise. En tant que propriétaire d'entreprise, être très clair sur votre objectif de base pour l'entreprise et comment elle sert les clients. Votre cœur de métier est ce qui paie les factures. Puis, en tant qu'entrepreneur, vous êtes sur le opportunité. Lorsque vous voyez une opportunité potentielle ou coup de chance de mesurer le sur votre accent cœur de métier. La chance est grande, quand elle correspond à votre vision de l'entreprise. Toujours se demander si une bonne occasion est la bonne personne pour votre entreprise. Si quelque chose ressemble beaucoup, mais ce n'est pas en phase avec votre plan à long terme et du budget, réfléchissez bien avant d'engager les ressources de votre entreprise.
