You Too Can Become A Successful Entrepreneur by Brazzaville(m): 3:23pm On Sep 20, 2018
Some of the world’s most famous and profitable businesses were started by students. So why not be one of them and start your own? Microsoft began in Bill Gate’s Harvard dorm room. Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook as a 19-year-old Harvard sophomore. Google got its starts on the Stanford Campus as the computer science project of doctoral students Sergey Brin and Larry Page, and thousands of other students companies thrive in every industry. Even if you’re not aiming to be another Bill Gates-maybe you just want to earn some extra cash with a summer landscaping business, mini-importation and drop-shipping business- you’ll have to navigate some unique challenges as a young entrepreneur testing the business waters.
HERE ARE 7 TIPS FOR YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS.
1. DO WHAT YOU LOVE: All successful teen businesses have one factor common: their owners love what they do. So choose a line of business that aligns with your interests no matter what they are.
2. KNOW WHAT YOU WANT: Are you willing to leave school if your business takes off? Or do you envision your business as a side project? Being able to answer questions like these will help you organize your time and priorities.
3. BE RADICAL: In your late teens and early 20s, your thinking is fresh, original and full of energy. Don’t be afraid to try something no one’s ever done, create an off the wall product or shake up an existing market by changing factors (such as a service or delivery model) those established companies take for granted.
4. FOLLOW THE RULES: Being a young entrepreneur doesn’t exempt you from registering your business, keeping records and paying taxes. Following these simple rules now will save you from legal and administrative headaches later.
5. MANAGE YOUR TIME: Running a business while going to school is stressful and difficult. Understand what is required of you in your separate roles as a student and a business owner, and employ planning and organizational tools- for example, a well maintained appointment book, Microsoft outlook or an online time/project management system to make most of your valuable time.
6. USE SCHOOL RESOURCES: Being a student isn’t a handicap in business; on the contrary, it can be an advantage. Your campus offers free computers and internet connectivity, a host of potential employees and /or volunteers and the expertise of professors who would be happy to share their knowledge and experience with you. You’re literally surrounded by people and resources, so make the most of your situation.
FIND A MENTOR: Buddy up with a local entrepreneur or business leader with record of achievement. Your mentor will help you understand the risks and challenges of business, provide a sounding board for your ideas and help you find investors for your company.
