Follow on Google News | Entrepreneurship is Throwing Yourself off a Cliff and Building an Aeroplane on the Way DownIn November, Cass celebrated Global Entrepreneurship Week by inviting start-ups from The Centre for Entrepreneurship to share their thoughts on 'Moving beyond a good idea' at a lunchtime presentation for students.
Be honest about who you are and what you want to achieve - At the beginning you are the company so your own integrity and trustworthiness is paramount. Whilst you will want to promote yourself and your business idea, if you go too far it could be damaging. Get a mentor - Impartial advice from an experienced mentor will help avoid… Pitfalls - Good organisation and planning will ensure there are not too many of these. However if one should occur, don't panic - you will learn a valuable lesson (although at the time it won't feel like it). Change creates opportunity - If you suffer a pitfall and change is necessary, view it as an opportunity. That way you will never miss out on a possibility. Familiarise yourself with legal requirements, technical necessities etc - These are the things that will take up the most time. Expect everything to take twice as long as you planned. Be prepared for the long haul - Even the best companies are not overnight successes. In some ways this is better as your business will be more sustainable. And finally…Attract great people - When it comes to hiring great employees, look for those who are smarter and more experienced than you are. If you have done the above points correctly, you will be able to attract them as you will be offering them a fantastic opportunity.
