We all know, a good business idea is must to start
any business.
Many say, “Let me get that idea then I will crush
it!”
Hold on, it’s not true.
No doubt a good idea boosts your chances but it’s
not enough!
There are many examples where good business ideas
simply failed!
The point here is that in order to build a
successful business, business idea is important but there is something more.
And that single
most important factor is a ‘Clear and Established business model’.
Pay special
attention to that word, ‘Established’.
There’s no need to reinvent the wheel when it comes
to your business model.
Find people
who have done what you want to do and learn the business model inside out before
you get going.
Remember there is a big difference between
following the model & copying.
If you are using the similar logo, website or
content that’s called copying.
Modelling is studying what strategies they are
using, what are their key activities, who are their partners and many more.
Still if you feel,” I want to start a new business
with a brand new business model.”
Good luck to you. J
Just know that you may spend a lot more time with
trial and error since you won’t have a proven blueprint to learn from and build
on.
My point here is, I don’t want you to make the
same mistakes that many newbies make.
They take the first impulsive business idea they
have and run with it.
They start
a website, a Facebook page and spend money on business cards & Facebook
ads.
They
desperately look for customers everywhere with no sense of direction and no
profit making roadmap to follow.
After a few months, they either give up completely
or switch to another idea that promises them to make money while they sleep.
But I know, that’s not you.
You’re smarter than them because here’s what you
will do.
You’ll study and learn everything you can about
your chosen business model before you start! How? Google it Girl!
You’ll read every book or article you can about
that kind of business, you’ll get connected to people who are doing it, and
succeeding now.
The reason I took this topic because it’s vital
that you start thinking about the framework of business models.
Hushh…that’s a load of work! But it’s vital to
have a correct start.
And there is no better time than today, 31st
December.
That’s the best way to welcome the New Year of 2016.
Wishing you & your family a prosperous and
healthy new year ahead.
Now it’s your turn.
Do you have any problems to define your business
model?
