(Shahzad Ashfaq, )

The zeal and zest for a business startup that the business establisher withhold is the sole key to success but unfortunately, throughout my professional career, I have seen people take a step back when they find situations difficult to handle. Like a soldier at the army field, a business startup is in the market struggling to survive and the stronger and determined the business owner is, the more the project is going to grow. Thus, before I give you the ten secret tips to ace your business startup, let’s make a promise to struggle and survive the competition and never lose sight of our goals.

1. Always enlist the main objectives and goals of the project beforehand

What is it that you wish to achieve from your startup? Always have the list of goals in front of you and keep a check on them. You need to go in the direction of making them come true and not otherwise. Once you are aware of your objectives, you’ll automatically work towards achieving it.

2. Research for the customer popular demand product and build your business idea around it

The punch line of this tip says it all! The real deal is the customers, right? Without them, who would buy your products or hire your service? Thus, go out in the market, analyze the situation and look into the latest trending product in the market. Once you have jotted down your options, select the one you find yourself passionate towards.

3. Do not ever underestimate the funding you will need for business establishment

A large or even a small business does not just get started in a day or two. It requires detailed planning, finance, and labor. From a proper office building to the entire collection of infrastructure, everything is very important when it comes to making an impression on the client. Even if you are running a two-room small business, you need to arrange it wisely and spend some thoughts on the interior. Fancy is not the answer to every query, you can always go simple yet bold. And for all of this you need funding. Thus, arranging for the funds must be your number one priority.

Without marketing, how would the customers know that you are out there? Your brand needs publicity and promotion and presently, more than offline, the online digital marketing is on the run. From developing websites to making blogs, promoting the business page on social media to attracting the customer with appealing offers and posts, digital marketing is making the statement these days and you need to do that too.

5. Never forget to act like a startup

The competitors in the market must be doing great and you need not fear them. Always keep a check on their progress and the tactics and techniques they are using to achieve it. This will keep you in the game and help you discover new trends and ways to make the market yours. Also, it’s not necessary to consider every competitor a rival, to survive in the global marker; you need to have some friends and good colleague relationship too.

7. Hire a hard-working and determined team

The working team is the force that drives the leader and vice versa. Pick your employees wisely and establish a long-term and healthy relationship with them. you need them to work loyally for you and for that you need to offer them respect, appreciation, a fair pay and some bonuses on and off.
