Assess your Risk Tolerance
Look at your business idea and consider the risks, how much are you willing to put up to keep your venture going or get it off the ground. Will you need financial support to be able to do this? You need to be honest with yourself about the level of risk you can handle and cope with. Your business idea needs to be strong enough and you need to 100% believe in it.
Be Prepared to Fail
No business faces a straight and simple path to success. There will be rejections and failure along the way as you try and sell your product and service so make sure you’re prepared for this. In most instances only 2-5% of your leads will actual result in business but this tends to be more than enough you need for success. The key is in not getting disillusioned by the no responses that come your way, it happens to every business.
Protect your Retirement Funds
It can be tempting to throw everything you have into your new business, but you shouldn’t bet all your retirement funds on it being a success. If you need investment look into startup loans or consider your other investments to raise capital. Look for funding from traditional sources and with a good business plan there is no reason you won’t find success.
Consider Expert Help
You can’t know everything about everything. While you may be an expert and passionate about your chosen business area, you must recognise where you need help. One area many older businesspeople need help is in crafting and building their online presence. The Web Surgery specialises in design and marketing services which can get your business off the ground and ensure you are setup online and ready to succeed.
