A Small Guide For A Successful Startup Creation

Nowadays, entrepreneurship is increasingly becoming a trend. Here is a short guide designed for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Starting a startup is a special life project. When you start such a project, you most likely start it all alone, therefore it should be your goal to make everyone adhere to your idea, to make your idea more appealing to investment.

Embarking on this courageous journey where fortunes can amass as quickly as they can disappear. There are many suitors and few elected officials in this entrepreneurial world. This guide was hence written in order to help you better navigate the difficulties that lie ahead in your journey towards entrepreneurial success and growth.

Launching a startup

As an aspiring entrepreneur, you’ll find yourself going through a lot of different experiences, all filled up with different emotions and surely all of them teaching you life lessons. Some will be a joyful ride towards learning from one’s mistakes, while others might be painful. As long as you know where you’re going. This guide reveals itself as being a real business catalyst. You will understand the ins and outs of what it means to launch into digital entrepreneurship. We’re talking about digital entrepreneurship because there are other constraints when you want to start a traditional business.

Anticipation and adaptation

Success is not built in one night, it is rather the build-up of tireless dedication, discipline and force of will, short nights spent in anguish and endless days consumed in a desire to obtain as perfect a product as possible. The first steps are the most important and are described very precisely in the guide :

• Validate your idea: the only way to go forward with launching a startup is to test your idea by «selling» it directly to the people whom you deem to be your customers, and while this might feel like an alien skill to you, perseverance is key.

• Build your team: the goal is not to have rock stars among your team since the very beginning, but rather people who are capable of quick learning, who will «go to battle» with you to understand what your users and customers want;

• Build your product: you need a first piece of product to present to your customers, in order to validate the initial idea and fine tune it, so that you can continue in this initial direction, one of the problems you might face in this step is knowing which piece of product will interest your clients.

Everyone can think of a brilliant idea, but execution is crucial

the aforementioned steps are for merely a theoretical framework: consulting them without having executed the first steps, will always add an extra layer of difficulty when it comes to putting the rest of your project into practice.

If there is but only one key thing to remember, it would be that to start carrying out your very first tasks.

However, that’s easier said than done, as you’re going to spend a lot of time strategizing, thinking about your market research, and anticipating what’s going to happen in 1, 2, or 3 years. Without having designed and produced your first prototype, without having confronted your first customers, and without having suffered many failures, you will not move forward. Better start doing instead of just thinking.
