5 Major Tips on Starting a Business

Here are the 5 Major Tips on Starting a Business as enumerated by Wilson Lee Flores from PhilStar. 2013, Year of the Water Snake is said to be a good year to start a business.

According to Mr. Wilson he just recently I bought a new book by self-made British billionaire Richard Branson titled Like A Virgin: Secrets They Won’t Teach You at Business School at Hudson News inside Singapore’s Changi Airport.

In the first chapter of this interesting, pragmatic and candid book, Branson shares five secrets to starting a business:

1. If you don’t enjoy it, don’t do it. Business requires a lot of time and hard work, so enjoy it and love your business.

2. Be innovative. Create something different whether it’s a product, service or brand.

3. Pride of association works wonders. People or employees are your firm’s biggest assets — make people proud and happy to be associated with your business.

4. Lead by listening. Be a good listener, no one has a monopoly on good ideas or good advice.

5. Be visible. Don’t just hide behind a desk as a boss, go out and keep on meeting people — whether your staff or your clients.
