Hi

* We begin by assuming that you are in the business you love. If you are not, the first tip we have for you is that you find something about it to like or move to something that you are passionate about.
* Cash! Plans! Cash forecasting and financial plans are next on the agenda. A planned budget, a measurement process, both short and long term will help your business start up. It's imperative that you know your projected income or revenue and cash expenditures to drill down to your cash flow.
* Research your business, your competition, and the industry and stay current and then define your USP. (Unique Selling Proposition) Read, read, and read! Get start up advice, join organizations that will help you, get on to the net and do all your homework there.
* If you can differentiate and find that USP, leverage it to the maximum.
* It helps to establish and fall back on a trustworthy mentor or advisory board. It could even be family, someone whom you can bounce ideas off, and get an objective opinion on your USP among other factors.

Hello To All

1.Serving the basic needs:Imagine every individual has some basic needs like food, shelter, clothes, healthcare, travel, electricity and water. When market is cutting down their spending, basic spending is always going to stay the same; it just needs more cost effective solutions.
2.Using technology to scale:Technology is the way to scale. It is the technology that enables us to keep in touch with our friends. It is technology that lets us connect to millions of individuals, know and share information that would otherwise take years to reach -- with the cost that every common person can afford.
3.Staying global, thinking local:Recession puts business models at test. Recession is going to demand reaching maximum audience for the same investment in production happening in the local market.
4.Cost control with bootstrapping:Venture capital is going to be hard to find, one needs to bootstrap the business with very less resources and still be able to provide the best service quality.
5.Less liability, more utilisation:Trick will be to lessen the fixed costs of the business, so even if the sales get affected for some time, it does not put burden on the company's accounts.

Have a nice day

Re: Five ways to Jump Start a New Business

Hello friends

The debate about the declining state of the American auto business has played out like the world's worst sitcom. Stock characters such as the clueless dads (the Big Three CEOs) and wacky neighbors (faux populist Congressmen), spout tired lines that you could see coming from a mile away. And the plots? Ugh. This week, the Dads slash overhead. Tune in next week: Hijinks ensue when the Dads decide to stop flying in their corporate jets. Let me guess: Everyone learns something and hugs in the end but nothing really changes.

The discussion about what to do about the American auto business has been limited almost exclusively to "saving Detroit" and preserving GM, Ford, and Chrysler rather than inventing the 21st Century transportation economy. It's very hard to adapt for the future without radical ideas that come from outside the establishment. "The train companies of the 19th century did not become the car companies of the 20th," says Chris Paine, director of the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car?, offering some much-needed perspective.

Paine is but one of the "precocious kids," if you will, that we assembled to offer up innovative ideas for revving up the American car business. We asked more than 60 people with some connection to the broader automotive economy for their best ideas, looking for both short- and long-term solutions to the crisis. These are their answers. With no further ado, and with limited commercial interruption, we present this very special episode, 25 Ways to Jump-Start the Auto Business.

Thanks

Re: Five ways to Jump Start a New Business

Hello,
If you are interested in starting a business of your own, below are a few legitimate ways of making money:

1. Get paid to read emails/surf the web - paid to surf the internet programs are convenient because ads appear as you are browsing the net. The only problem is that ads eat up screen space so it is not recommended unless you have a nice, large screen. Two sites recommended are MyPoints.com and InboxDollars.com. Both have been around for a while and have a good track record.

2. Get paid to take surveys - Be careflul with these because you can make guarenteed money, but you do need to watch yourself. Some survey sites only give you points and the point system is not that great when applied to rewards or they may enter you enter a drawing where you can win a prize and everyone else receives nothing. The trick is to make the most out of online surveys is to do the free and cheap trial offers and then cancel them in the end. Try globaltestmarket.com and greenfieldonline.com.

3. Get paid to write - You will either get paid a flat rate based on the viewing audience generated or you can write blogs and full-length articles. Recommended are associatedcontent.com and creative-weblogging.com.

4. Get paid to be social - There are a number of ways you can get paid by finding helping people jobs, sharing contact information, as well as sharing photos, videos, and normal social activity. Recommended are gather.com and flixya.com.

5. Referring People - probably the best way of making money online. This is where you make money by referring people to sites like gather.com or inboxrewards.com. By joining these sites, you obtain a referral code that you use to bring people to participate within these sites. Once they join, you are paid. If you put your mind to it, how many people could you invite in an hour or two? There is a drawback. The drawbacks are that there is not much of it available and the income is not sustainable. Once you have told all of your friends, then you will have to go and meet new people and invite them. But, of course everyone gets in on the action. The money is good while you can get it.

Try some of these methods of making money. Really, it isn't that hard to find ways to make money online. You just have to look around.

If you are interested in starting an online business, don't expect success to happen overnight. Success in an online business does require work and you have to really want an online business because it won't be easy. Rewards in an onlilne business only come to those who are a good work ethic meaning those who are persistent and consistent.

Re: Five ways to Jump Start a New Business

Hello Friends

1)Develop your personal and company goals:New business success requires a combination of knowing what you are doing and capitalizing on a good opportunity. Develop and clearly state your goals in a written plan, which will then serve as your road map. They give you a sense of direction and help you get to your destination, a successful business of your own, with a minimum of time, effort, and expense.
2)Define a viable market segment for your product or service:The next step in starting a new venture begins with listening to the marketplace. Define an unmet consumer need first, before you develop a product to satisfy that need.
3)Develop your marketing plan. The purpose of the marketing plan is to describe how you will attempt to create and maintain customers for a profit. It needs to state whom you are going to sell to, how you are going to penetrate the market, why you will be successful with your sales campaigns, and finally, how much you will sell annually over the next five years.
4)Write your initial version of the business plan:Your business plan must reflect the unique environment you will be operating in as well as what you plan to be your competitive advantage. It is an outline of the direction in which you plan to take your company, an analysis of your business strengths and weaknesses, and a skeleton from which your formal business plan will later be developed.
5)Determine your financing needs:Once you have developed a rough business plan, you can begin to determine your financing needs, which will be incorporated into your formal business plan.
6)Form your key teams:founders, management, and directors. Before developing your formal business plan, you must make sure you have put together a solid management team.

Have a nice day
