Basics of entrepreneurship or how to start a business

Entrepreneurship in Russia is developing at full speed. This has become possible recently, thanks to the creation of programs of state support for beginning businessmen.

Today, being on the unemployment account, everyone can learn for free at the courses "Basics of Entrepreneurship" and subsequently receive a grant to start their own business. Thus, the dream of many is to work for oneself, to become a reality. Although in practice the process of obtaining a subsidy is much more complicated than it may seem, yet this is a unique opportunity that should be used while the authorities are ready to encourage your endeavors.

But what if you are not unemployed and do not want to risk refusing your job. You can go the other way, having studied the basics of entrepreneurship yourself, having registered the IP, try your hand at small business. True, you will have to invest your own money or take a loan.

Why should we start studying this particular field of activity? First, study the legal basis of entrepreneurship: the law, its interpretation, the tax code. And then refer to other aspects of small business, including the psychological aspect: negotiation, management psychology, ethics of communication with the client. And the basics of marketing will help to understand the ways of studying the market for services or goods.

Having studied the theoretical foundations of entrepreneurship, you should prepare a quality business plan (based on real data on the demand for your service or product). With this document you can apply to the bank to provide you with a loan for business development. Include monthly payments in the "Expenses" column of your plan so that bank employees can assess the solvency and relevance of your business project.

Having received the necessary amount, it remains to purchase all necessary, rent the premises. And further from you it will take a lot of effort to not only stay afloat, not work at a loss, but also take its place among competitors. We will have to show a lot of business and very useful in business qualities: enterprise, resourcefulness, sharpness, focus on the result, the ability to see the situation as a whole, to predict. Only the relevant knowledge will help to demonstrate the necessary abilities.

The fundamentals of business and entrepreneurship are reduced to the ability to introduce a new service or product, whose active dissemination would lead to the development of the economic situation in a particular region of the country, to an increase in the standard of living of the population. Such a service has recently become private kindergartens, which solved the problem with queues in kindergarten; Advertising agencies in small towns where they have not yet existed, brokerage offices, citizens counseling services on various issues and other unique business projects.

But there were also ideas that are not destined to develop - for them the time has not yet come. For example, a company that provides cleaning services (something similar to the common service "husband for an hour"), has taken root in large cities, but does not develop in small towns of our country.

In order to learn how to be a true entrepreneur, and therefore be able to take risks, but to take risks wisely, you need to learn the basics of marketing (ways of studying the market), business psychology, be a little accountant, a bit of a lawyer, direct executor and director in one person. Otherwise, the venture is doomed to failure.

Start studying the basics of entrepreneurship today, if your dream is to have your own business. Perhaps once you fail to achieve the desired results, but the ability to learn from your mistakes and purposefulness sooner or later will play a role.
