We pride ourselves of being entrepreneurial spirited. But is it really<br />
so? Do we do enough for supporting entrepreneurs and start-ups?<br />
And especially youth wanting to try their hand at being business<br />
owners.<br />
Let us try to look at what is needed.<br />
This is not to discourage anyone.<br />
It is really to help youth to realise<br />
what is needed. If you haven’t got<br />
all of these things, well, then go get<br />
them!<br />
It is discouraging to read about the<br />
‘big’ entrepreneurs, like Richard<br />
Branson, Alan Sugar, Google, Bill Gates, etc etc. When I just have<br />
an idea of providing an app for services in the neighbourhood.<br />
With a website and manage follow-ups ad those things. As an example.<br />
So instead of trying to get a job, why not do it yourself? But how?<br />
Business plan: can you describe what you want to do? In few sentences?<br />
If you waffle, think again.<br />
And write it again. Until it is<br />
clear.<br />
Financials: if the start will require<br />
some buying of equipment, you<br />
may need money from somewhere.<br />
The business plan will<br />
spell out why you need it, and<br />
your financials will justify it all.<br />
