How to get $ one million for a business and without asking .- The disadvantage is that a clever person you know, “yes, I know,” he says, “and they told me, I know,” and as that remains granted that the results arrive. Instead, a fool says “no, no, tell me,” also does not waste much time to think, find a way to make it easy.
A friend told me something truly spectacular. This friend is a fool, seems not to know anything, what you’re asking around and asking opinions about anything that interested. He told me he found a property for sale, only it was pretty big for what I was used to negotiate, but had a spectacular idea, so the development but was not sure I look as qualified opinions.
Among his many friends told him he was completely crazy to get into such a business, but it looked fabulous. Then came go to the banks, they know better handle business ideas, he said. His argument was: “Please I need your help, I need your opinion on the profitability of this property and the business I’m asking”
Some bank managers could not attend, but who treated him also interested in the project. I call a group of specialists in finance and showed them the business plan and ask them how can we fund it?
My friend said, no, I could not even any funding Acepar to see all the possibilities. But the attitude of the bank as much enthusiasm and went to other banks. With the other banks to improve their argument by saying that another bank had already offered to finance it, but what is an opinion he wanted more, the advice of an expert, and that bank thought I could find.
Guess. The other bank improved its offer. There are a lot of money out there, says my friend, you are missing good business ideas, and above all, who do you see layers. My friend says that if you ask, people will be delighted to answer, why not find the ability to raise an excellent question from a bank or millionaire friend and achieve what you achieve, a million dollars to finance its business outside the ordinary.
Once the entrepreneur has given a few turns to his idea and begins to believe that things can get by is one of the questions that you may be more misleading to the point of abandoning the idea. The question is: what does it cost to create this company? In fact, behind the question of how much it costs to create a company hide several different questions, complex, and to boot, too important to answer lightly. In the background, the entrepreneur is wondering:
* How much money do I have to “mobilize” in the project?
* If I have enough money saved, how I can get the rest?
* And if this goes wrong, how I can get to lose the most?
Constitution of the company Legal Aspects
Once it is clear what the product or service that is going to develop will take a “framework” from which to develop this legal activity. Either personally, either through a company will have to “constitute” the company. These procedures have a cost, sometimes important in relation to the size of the project. It should be taken into account, it is one thing we believe that is unnecessary or useless red tape and another thing is that they are free.
Whether these procedures are performed by the entrepreneur and own equipment if you hire a professional to manage it can represent a significant expense in both money and time, to be taken into account in the cash-flow forecast for the first stage of the business ( and the implementation schedule).
At this stage we will define if we became a EIRL (Limited Liability Company Individual or a Spa (stock company) incorporated in the latter two Chilean legal body with the Capital Markets Act II (MK II) or a corporation, within the most common, in later chapters one of my associates attorney, will deliver the recommendations, and when should one or the other depending on the individual and collective goals you want to raise.
This part costs between 150 000 and 300 thousand dollars to create a more publications in the official newspaper more entries that could skirt the $ 150.000.
In this legal category, we consider the trademark, because do not forget to hand your brand, which is what will identify you, the issue is complex and makes an often difficult to find not only a name but to register it, because there are many brands per class (eg Class: Commercial establishments, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc …). My recommendation in time for this process is 6 months, consider first the process, as you develop your project. This will cost between 200 000 to 300 thousand pesos.
It seems even that is okay to say you are very busy, important people. However, it is another of those absurd beliefs in which we fall. It can be very busy in activities that do not lead anywhere and can also be occupied two hours on things that directly affect our progress and have the rest of the day free. Would not you prefer the second option? In this article I’ll leave you some tips for you to start managing your time and you get more performance.
Stick to what matters
Many entrepreneurs tell me they can not always planned for emergencies arise. They do not realize that this is because they do not pay attention to what is truly important. If you start focusing on what’s important, do not emergencies arise, or these will be minimal because at the time you handled it. Do not leave behind the important things and stop surgical many drawbacks.
Pontificate
I have had some clients that if they start planning, waste time. However, it is time spent as the time you lose on good planning will result in a profit then recover, because thanks to that foresight, you can run your activities in less time. These 5 or 10 minutes lost in planning your day, will become a more available time for other activities or for you to enjoy your family or friends.
Know your Rhythm Activity
There are certain times of day that only you know where the best yields. It is very useful to have on hand to try to focus your main activity during those hours.
If you can start putting in those hours activities that require more concentration and more important.
Delegates
How much is delegated? right? Many think that if you want to do something right do it yourself, but, you know …? if you’re short of time is that the rush can also mess up. Teach others and delegating those activities they can do. Spend time correctly and you will see how soon it will be worthwhile. There are virtual assistants that already do work and where you can delegate many administrative tasks and company, for a reasonable price.
Implement these tips into your daily routine and you’ll see as you stop saying that I have not time. These are the strategies I use to make the most of my time, thanks to which I can enjoy a better quality of life and my business does not generate stress because of the time.
In times of crisis our sensibility is the limit. So many attacks and external pressures to which we are subject to walk constantly on the verge of exasperation and intolerance. It’s easy to get distracted and lose sight of the real issues in a negotiation, but it is necessary to separate people from the problem to explore interests and invent options for mutual benefit among which to choose.
So What Do I Do?
Not rigidly hold its position, but firmly pursue and defend their interests. Make it a focus of satisfaction. Help the other negotiator to feel satisfied. Satisfaction means that their basic interests are satisfied. Do not confuse basic interests with positions: Their position is what he says he wants: his basic interest is what he really needs to get.
One way to understand the difference between positions and interests is the classic example of two sisters fighting over an orange. Both wanted the orange, so they had a great discussion, until finally cut it in half. A stripped his half sister, and use the peel to bake a cake. The other stripped his half, and ate the fruit. Finally finished a half-shell, and the other half fruit.
But if instead of looking at the orange one would have considered that he was interested in cooking and eating the other was interested, could well have ended with a shell for a whole, and whole fruit for the other. That is often what we do negotiate, eventually dividing the orange and we were less than we might have obtained.
Increasing your power and leadership in the negotiation is directly proportional to the development of an alternative, a good plan of action to follow to achieve its interests if it fails to reach an agreement. Your best alternative is to think you will do if it reaches agreement with that person. Never negotiate without options.
If you rely too much on the outcome of the negotiation, is losing its ability to say NO
Even within the social chaos that seems to demand immediate critical decisions, always keep perspective during their negotiations. It insists on getting an extra penny and lose sight of the central points of the negotiations, which are important to you. Always think: “What am I going to look like this within a year?”.
Every day millions of people add some information, and obviously would be very difficult for the Facebook system taking into account at all. To solve this problem for too much information Facebook has created Edgerank, something like Google’s pagerank. This algorithm is used to decide which of the posts and content submitted by users are displayed on your Facebook news feed and how.
For example I have a nearly 4,000 contacts, and if only 100 a day add one update, it would be difficult to follow at all, now I have about 300 people in line, but the content on my home page are a selection. There is an option to decide the content of many people see, but much of this work does Edgerank.
This information is very important for those doing business in facebook. As a posting on facebook and keep in mind to do business. For if our primary job is marketing on facebook, we want our content look, we also need to read others to know and help them.
There are a lot of content in Facebook added by our contacts that we are not interested, what’s the point having them on display? The issue is that our experience is pleasant and funny facebook, and that matters to facebook to keep us longer.
The goal is to show the contents edgerank that interest us, not only of our contacts, also are fan pages, groups in which we participate, and so on. The affinity of the user who posts on you. Is your contact, but interact? Where are you more often, on your wall or the wall of your contacts?
The relevance of the post. This factor calculates how interesting is the information submitted on the basis of feedback received. Furthermore, not all are equally important feedbacks. There is no official version that explains how important each of these feedbacks but logically a comment is more important than a “like” and so with other elements: a label, content sharing, etc..
Time makes public. The contents are the most important fresh, but old content that people will still like. What time you post. Remember that older post and if you post when you have few users in line for when your posts have most against time. Post fresh view of your contacts when the majority is online.
Facebook social network is the ideal place to discover our talents, and for that we must expose ourselves to the consideration of our online contacts. Possibly be an open book has its risks, any comment inappropriate, but certainly to share often will tell us what all we like, also likes to our contacts, and thus obtain a way to relate to people.
I’ve noticed that all my friends have a special talent for something. Each at a different aspect of life, but all possess a unique knowledge that makes them different.
So why most do not triumph? Well, it depends on what you consider triumphs. Some have lives that fully met and some not so. That depends on each one.
From what I am sure that if the circumstances were right, each of them would be able to get his hidden talent that few can get to see and get to provide a very high value to others. I refer to the circumstances that made it possible for “Brave Heart” (William Wallace), Ramon y Cajal or Obama himself, have been deemed historical personages (Obama will be).
I’m talking about circumstances that have led to someone being an important character, but we must not forget that each character has given it their best when their time has come. Moreover, in varying degrees, these characters have created their circumstances.
Do not settle for mediocrity, just because it’s accepted in our society. Moreover, success is frowned upon. You, as my friends, you can be exceptional. Just have to work to make favorable circumstances are favorable you to develop your potential. Yes, always thinking of give and help others.
There is so much money in the world aqua badly distributed but that money is what moves each new project. For example, there is venture capital, belonging to investors who bet on new ideas to market them when they are profitable. This is what happens a lot in Internet applications.
For example Google would not have been possible without one of these capitals. In the beginning Google worked in a garage and its creators had to leave to find money to continue the project got the first 20 million for the company and had no clear idea of how to be profitable.
Initially Google was born just to give service to others helping with the search for information, and tried to make it profitable to offer its services to companies that handle thousands of data, but that idea did not fill the coffers and was much later that opted for the publicity now given the billions of dollars.
Now the world tends to globalization and social networks become the point where people converge to interact with each other. Asian Social networks are making money by selling virtual products to millions of users in their databases.
Second Life (Second Life) is a virtual community with at least 14 million people with an average of 50 000 users online every day. In this community people build their new life and try to do everything that is done in real life: business, travel, sex, etc.
In Second Life virtual people make money doing multiple businesses, but then the money can be exchanged for real money, hence the large number of users of this network is careful to create your second life and achieve economic sustenance.
We now have the option of a new social network for investment, business, advertising and all that is done on the internet. Would you like to make money? Would you like to interact online and create a community?
The best known social networks like MySpace, Face Book, YouTube, etc., Have millions of people every day make thousands of dollars, but those gains are for the owners of those networks.
Populace is a modern network with a great opportunity to do business in for investments and improve our finances with a variety of business options that can be done.
It seems that today we no longer even good example of how Microsoft or Apple was born, everything has to be faster and immediate, of course: a large scale. This is where, in my opinion, it starts to fail, and that, among many others, one of the reasons for the high volatility of many Web companies and Internet are born and disappear at high speed without even an initial approach “rational” (i.e. the phone Portal “Terra” in Spain was one of the most striking).
From this undeniable reality, it seems that all we move to analyze how and in what way we can demonstrate our ability and ingenuity to develop ideas and projects that will lead us, using our criteria and using the facilities and services offered by Internet, to build models stable business and travel.
That’s when we are examples like Google, Face book or less success stories and more international and local media where, at least so it seems, there is a “magic touch” of genius that allows us a niche in the business world’s elite get introduced into the market via the Internet a product or application unique and incomparable or sell our Portal or a multinational company that bought us a huge price.
So in a time where even Silicon Valley seems to be in crisis it is time to bring back the concept of business model basing network in principle less “intangibles” and “magic” and more “logical” and “business.
First I would choose to take into account the views of those he called “gurus” of new technologies in the same way that we consider the opinion in private matters of a distant cousin you see once a year and we have always gotten along but which neither we know nothing about him or vice versa. Nothing more instructive to see some erroneous predictions about technology that made some of these great gurus of his time that no one remembers now.
Second, keep in mind that is the market that always sets the tone, is always the customer who else understands the product you want to sell, simply because it decides whether to buy or not, and the market is not neither more nor less than people with some conditions that sometimes mark the time, society and the characteristics and socio-cultural environment in which we live. Probably the Google concept or social networks in the early Internet had failed as neither the maturity in the design of the first Internet communications, and their small number would have allowed the current expansion and development.
Finally, consider the indicator of the success of our project’s website (and I think in any field) is not telling us how great it is, let the awards we receive (lately it seems that the more prizes you get, the Innovation, Business Young Entrepreneurs, etc …) be assured that our human resources, economic and above all our knowledge and market dominance will us afford. How many times undertaking a project to reach the moon has not even flied.
If you are employed and looking for time to launch your own project (or do something else), is key to negotiate a telecommuting arrangement with your boss, not having to be present from 9 to 18 day at work.
Tim’s recommendation to achieve this difficult stage is:
1. Ask first a short probationary period (one or two days a week)
2. to test specific and reversible at any time
3. Sell and defend the results obtained
4. Expand the days spent outside the office in a phase 2, while maintaining excellence in the deliverables to your boss
5. Try it; you’ll see how amazing things are achieved only by trying.
The Lifestyle Design applied to entrepreneurial
If you are an employer or thinking of launching your business, you only recommend a book to read this year: “The 4 hour work week.” I assure you are the best choice you can make. It is a book that gives us another way to see the success, especially if you read very well, enables you to avoid falling into traps that often cause young freelancers and entrepreneurs who end up paying the brunt of the financial crisis in Spain or anywhere in the world.
Do not confuse entrepreneurship with business, has nothing to do with each other. In my experience, I think there are very few people happy in a situation for self-employment as they were to be employed, with all the security and the rights they enjoyed. If you want to start a business, prepare well before launching your business, and never lose focus: there is only one life. No need to wait 65 years (66, 70 years?) And retire to start enjoying it.
We start to see what things they have had to develop to achieve success. Today I offer some practical tips for achieving changes in production that will help us improve our life.
1. Set goals. By defining exactly what they want to change your attitude and put in place to achieve these objectives. The change is a personal way to achieve our goals, because if you stay static will not achieve anything, set practical goals that allow you to go about doing things right, but mainly defines what you do.
2. Plan. If you have mastered the objective, is now planning to do, a friend and Realistic Analysis commentator noted that to plan your goals efficiently they must be,
- Achievable and Realistic
- Set Time
- Specific Measurable
- Aligned (to our goal / vision of Life)
This is what is known as the SMART technique and is useful in the definition of Planning.
3. Check your activities. The best way to initiate changes in production focuses on bringing a precise monitoring of tasks assigned to it I have seen cases of people who want to excel in their jobs and a thousand things “to please”, however neither of these are productive or necessary, then what served as the lost time?, how best to carry out a productive method is to define what will give you more benefits in a time factor productivity relationship.
4. Always gives a little more. If you’re highly productive, you must seek high standards of quality control in your activities, impels yourself, do not wait to call you and tell you what you need this or that, levitate duplication of activities and shows that things can out right the first time, that’s what I’m doing: I think what kind of errorbuscarÃa if I’m my own boss and so performance things harder.
