Consider starting your business simply. There are many ideas pelting us at all times about all the business strategies we "must" pursue. It's easy to be convinced that we must do all these things and follow all these trends. The truth though is that you're almost always better off starting your business simply, proving your business concepts, and adding complexity only if and when it makes financial sense. Here are a few ideas on having a simple business model for your start-up.
1. Start with providing a single service that has high - and predictable - demand.
Don't try to put together a complex "menu" of products and services to start with, especially if you're new to business. Build a successful business, then add complications. Have a "core business", a niche, something you're known for as the foundation for future growth.
2. You don't have to follow the crowds and do all sorts of complicated marketing methods that you don't know or understand.
Find a single, simple marketing method that delivers results and put all your marketing efforts into that. Don't get drawn into the "latest greatest" and have your resources siphoned off. Keep your marketing simple.
3. Separate out your short-term plans and strategies from your long-term ones.
Don't make the mistake of believing that you must build your whole business empire before you ever launch your business. This will simply feel like you are going around and around in a circle and never building any business traction or gaining any momentum. Guess what? That's true! That's exactly what is happening.
4. Know your target market intimately.
Aim for prospects and clients that you know and understand on an intimate and deep basis. Don't try to work with a market you aren't especially knowledgeable about or positioned to help. Like, appreciate, and connect with those you want to win as clients. Your business will succeed more easily in proportion to your depth of knowledge about your market.
5. Don't try to run before you walk.
Build something simple and successful before you add complexity. Decide that you only want to build on success and start with simple success. Be willing to resist doing flashy, time-consuming efforts that "everybody" recommends if you don't understand them or want to invest the time.
6. Get professional help in starting up your business.
Hire a coach or consultant. Sign up for an entrepreneur class. Make the effort to get the knowledge that you don't have but definitely do need. If you have never succeeded in business before, don't try to go it alone.
7. Understand what drives your prospects to become clients.
What are their motivations? What needs drive their decisions. What speeds up their decision-making process? What do they want to get from working with you.
When you're working on a new business start-up, consider these seven ideas on keeping it simple. You'll have a much greater possibility of success.
