 10 Step-Business Startup Guide: How I Actually Get Started From Scratch!
Hello…
Welcome to my story, my sharing and my blog.
I am Dave J, an author, keynote speaker, E-preneur and a NLP-certified coach.
Before we begin, I would like to answer the question that pops into the mind of readers each time they open my blog:
“What motivated me to share my experience and expertise?”
When I planned to start my own business many years back, I talked to dozens of successful entrepreneurs, I attended seminars, I purchased training materials, signed up for courses and participated in countless business events. But I still do not get satisfactory answers for a systematic approach to starting up and running a profitable business. One thing for sure, it has cost me a lot of money and time in the process. The saddest part is most of the materials, seminars and courses are expensive and too theoretical in nature. Most of them are not practical, not easily applicable and not cost effective for a fresh entrepreneur like me.
Secondly, as I have mentioned earlier I did manage to seek guidance from successful entrepreneurs on the nuts and bolts of starting up and running a profitable business. However, many of them are too busy to share with me their expertise. Furthermore, even if they do, they are not so keen to part with their “secrets” to me. Some are willing to do so, but the advice does come with a high price tag!
I always believe in the law of giving, in which the more I give the more I shall be blessed in many other ways. Hence, I have decided to share with you (anyone out there) a one-stop guide for everyone who is planning or decided to startup a business of their own choice (even if they do not have any capital) before they get disappointed or frustrated in the search for the right kind of guidance to starting up their own business profitably. I hope they will not walk the “costly” and “bumpy” path that I’ve taken many years back without any such help whatsoever.
In the next few days, I be posting my business startup journal - a 10 step-by-step guide to starting your own business (regardless whether it’s online or offline, small or medium, physical product or no-product at all). The journal is updated constantly whenever I found a new way to get thing done better, cost-effective or faster in result. Whatever I idea, formula or tip I shared with you, I assure you I have personally utilized it somehow directly or indirectly.
