What Not To Do When Starting a Business As A Beginner

 A friend asked me a question. Said, "I have this idea to start a restaurant business that will bring a new dimension to food and service. How do I begin if I don't have any funds?"



 So you have an idea, an invention and you want to open a restaurant. However if you don't have any money it's not advisable to jump into it. Starting a business requires resources. One common misconception is that starting a business will automatically solve all your problems. That's not the reality. It's, like saying you want time and freedom so you decide to have a baby. Running a business is like raising a child; it requires planning and resources. If you currently find yourself without money there must be underlying reasons for it such, as being employed in a job.


Perhaps you find yourself involved in a business. Are still pursuing your education? It can be challenging to generate any income during this time. Here's the dilemma; How can you expand a business when financial resources are scarce? All running a business requires investment.


To generate wealth in the business world financial resources are often required. However when considering skill development money is not always necessary. It is possible to cultivate and enhance your abilities without an investment. For instance if your desire is to teach skills that lead to success you can embark on this journey even without initial capital. On the hand when it comes to establishing, growing and expanding a business venture monetary resources become essential. This leads me to encounter queries, from individuals who have ideas but lack finances; "How can I commence my journey with limited funds?" The answer lies in understanding that becoming an entrepreneur requires earning the right through achievements and experiences. Nowadays it seems like anyone can claim entrepreneurship status by sharing their aspirations on media platforms like Instagram overnight. Even college students suddenly transition into entrepreneurs. However true entrepreneurship necessitates a progression of accomplishments and expertise before assuming such a title. One must first develop high income skills in order to qualify as an entrepreneur. Hence if you firmly believe that your product or invention alone will guarantee success (such, as opening a restaurant based on a recipe) it indicates that you may not yet possess the readiness or mindset required for entrepreneurship.


You might end up losing everything you have. I advise against it. You see, when you contemplate the idea of starting a restaurant there are questions you should ask yourself. Let's see how many of these questions you can answer for me. You have a recipe and a desire to open a restaurant. That alone isn't enough. An entrepreneur thinks differently.


As an entrepreneur you have a set of questions to consider. For instance you might ask yourself about the cost of rent and the details of your lease agreement. It's important to think about your profit margin when considering your menu and suppliers. You'll also want to understand the population. What's happening in the area? Identifying your competitors and studying restaurant models can provide insights. Additionally it's crucial to consider factors, like traffic flow, operating hours developments in the area and the income levels of customers. Understanding whether your restaurant targets the class high end clientele or a more budget friendly market is essential too. You should focus on attracting customers through acquisition strategies while also retaining their loyalty over time. A successful launch will involve creating buzz around your restaurant while ensuring cash flow for day, to day operations. Determining how many employees you need and finding candidates will be key tasks as well.

Who will be responsible, for managing the business? Is it solely me? Is there someone involved? Do you have any answers to these questions? If not then you may not be qualified to initiate your business. It's as straightforward, as that.


That's just the way you see things. That's why many people fail, including, about 95% of businesses. Most individuals lack the qualities and qualifications necessary to be entrepreneurs; they are more accustomed to being employees. May experience a sort of " seizure." Just having ideas doesn't automatically make someone an entrepreneur. It's, like saying, "Hey I bought a basketball!" That alone doesn't transform me into an NBA player; it simply means I have a basketball. To truly become an entrepreneur you need to participate in the game and hone your skills. Once you start generating income and have developed high income skills then maybe. Just maybe. You might possess what it takes to be an entrepreneur. It might not be the answer but it's the honest truth.
