A Few Simple_Tips to Starting Your Own Business.
In the development and opera
tion of a business, you should have
at least four elements:
1. A good idea for a product or
service which satisfies the particular
needs of a significant number of
individuals, businesses or govern
ment organizations. This may come
as a result of a particular talent or
? skill you possess. ~
2. A well-developed market
plan to convey the product or idea
to the public. (This includes devel
oping a sales force, advertising, etc.)
3. Good management of all
: aspects of business affairs including
accounting, investment and person
nel management activities.
4. A motivating force. This
could be you or a person in your
company that sets goals and pushes
employees to maximize their tal
ents.
Of these four elements, all of
which are equally important, the
"idea for a product or service** is
where it all begins. In this regard,
we have developed a list of 12 ideas
for new businesses. These ideas
relate to the various talents and
skills that many of us have.
1. Develop a Teaching by Tape
business. Let's say you are an expe
rienced cook or auto mechanic. You
can record and sell your recipe for
chitterlings or instructions on how
to fix a water pump.
2. Establish a Home Tutorial
Service. Many youngsters are hav
ing problems with various school
subjects. There are many parents
who are willing to pay for help
do it themselves or don't know hoe.
You do not have to teach yourself.
Instead, you can just organize the
service matching teacher to pupil
and charge a commission for your
function.
3. Develop a video-cassette
? rental business. With the increase in
the number of video machines, this
should be a good venture. Most peo
ple would rather rent a tape than
buy one.
4. Start a debt collection busi
ness. There is great demand by busi
nesses for this service. This can be
done out of the home, and all you
need is a telephone.
5. Start a janitorial service.
This type of business has low capi
tal requirements (equipment can be
rented), and in most cases, labor
costs are low while demand for jani
torial services are high.
6. Establish a low -calorie bak
ery. If you have a talent for baking,
there is a great demand for low
calorie breads and pastries.
7. Establish a restaurant on
wheels. If you are a good cook, you
can set up a business which sells
specialty dishes at various places
where you know large numbers of
people are employed.
8. Become a professional
party-giver. This is for those who
really know how to party. You can
be the person people contact when
they want to arrange dinners, parties
or other recreational activities, and
charge a commission for performing
the service. You may also want to
rent party equipment and utensils.
9. Develop an executive search
firm specializing in locating minori
ty professionals. You probably
know a lot of minority managers,
teachers and professionals that
many companies would be willing
to pay nicely to find.
10. Establish a word-processing
business. With the increase in small
business, you could provide the typ
