Passion and Reality for Startup Business Success
Starting a business today requires balancing the passion and energy that come with great entrepreneurial ideas with the practical foundational programs that will allow those ideas to flourish. It sounds simple enough, yet nine out of ten startup ideas never get off the ground, or fail simply because visionary and well intentioned entrepreneurs lack the practical expertise, experience, and resources they need to succeed.
As the title suggests, “Passion and Reality” takes a deep dive into both sides of the entrepreneurial experience and dilemma. It brings together the visionary and practical considerations that every entrepreneur needs to know to give life to their new ideas without getting submarined by the realities and complexities of jump starting a business.
Rather than providing success tips, we deal with how to resolve the challenges of starting a business. Specifically, we provide entrepreneurs with tools and recommendations to facilitate starting a business. The focus is on understanding and analyzing the dilemmas and challenges of starting a business. The goal is to help entrepreneurs have better results, avoid mistakes, have greater efficiency and become profitable in less time. Here are some key perspectives that guide our suggestions:
- Starting a business involves both the passion and energy of the idea, as well as the reality of the program components. In other words, success comes from the idea, but failure comes from not understanding that the chain is only as strong as the weakest link.
- Starting a business is a dynamic process. Most startup books and programs develop segmented components of what to do that become autonomous sections of a plan. Startup success is based on the more complex requirement that all factors interact to create success.
- We focus on HOW to start a business, and not simply the WHAT. We discuss opportunities, alternatives and solutions, and provides tools, suggestions, and expertise on how to capitalize on opportunities and resolve the challenges.
- We emphasize functions like sourcing, customer service, process control, quality, etc. We consider these marketing and branding tools that can bet be optimized from a cost and marketing perspective.
- Capitalizing on emerging business, social, economic and demographic trends can provide huge opportunities for entrepreneurs. For example, mobile must be included in current marketing and operations programs.
We help clients focus on maximizing client capabilities and opportunities. We encourage owners to understand and balance the risks of failure, the need for some risk and the rewards of success. The underlying principal of StartupConnection.net is to encourage entrepreneurs, as Emerson says, “to believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men – that is genius.” However, success also takes time, analysis, programs, capital, and commitment. Entrepreneurs must allow their passion to drive them while staying vigilantly in touch with reality.
