Top 5 business secrets for beginners!


Often, people think! What is the secret behind a successful entrepreneurship of a virgin, newly arrived company. Here are the five top secrets for you….

Secret 1: Enjoy it, what you are doing.

When you start a business, what will you have in your mind? Thinking big, as like Google, Microsoft… bla…bla…
Do you think that these fellows thought that their companies will lead the world one day. No, they enjoyed what they did. They use to invest more time and came up with many remarkable ideas. when you enjoy things, you will feel less stress, then your mind will be free to think like a kid.


Secret 2: Create Something That Stands Out.
Whether you have a product, a service or a brand, it is not easy to start a company and to survive and thrive in the modern world. In fact, you’ve got to do something radically different to make a mark today.
Look at the most successful businesses of the past 20 years. Microsoft, Google or Apple, for example, shook up a sector by doing something that hadn’t ever been done and by continually innovating. They are now among the dominant forces.
Secret 3: Create Something That Everybody Who Works for You is Really Proud of.
Businesses generally consist of a group of people, and they are your biggest assets.
Secret 4: Be a Good Leader.
As a leader you have to be a really good listener. You need to know your own mind but there is no point in imposing your views on others without some debate. No one has a monopoly on good ideas or good advice.
Get out there, listen to people, draw people out and learn from them. As a leader you’ve also got to be extremely good at praising people. Never openly criticize people; never lose your temper, and always lavish praise on your colleagues for a job well done.
People flourish if they’re praised. Usually they don’t need to be told when they’ve done wrong because most of the time they know it. If somebody is not working out, don’t automatically throw him or her out of the company. A company should genuinely be a family. So see if there’s another job within the company that suits them better. On most occasions you’ll find something for every single kind of personality.
Secret 5: Be Visible.
A good leader does not get stuck behind a desk. I’ve never worked in an office – I’ve always worked from home – but I get out and about, meeting people. It seems I am traveling all the time but I always have a notebook in my back pocket to jot down questions, concerns or good ideas.
If I’m on a Virgin Atlantic plane, I make certain to get out and meet all the staff and many of the passengers. If you meet a group of Virgin Atlantic crew members, you are going to have at least 10 suggestions or ideas. If I don’t write them down, I may remember only one the next day. By writing them down, I remember all 10. Get out and shake hands with all the passengers on the plane, and again, there are going to be people who had a problem or have a suggestion. Write it down, make sure that you get their names, get their e-mail addresses, and make sure the next day that you respond to them.
Of course, I try to make sure that we appoint managing directors who have the same philosophy. That way we can run a large group of companies in the same way a small business owner runs a family business – keeping it responsive and friendly.
When you’re building a business from scratch, the key word for many years is “survival.” It’s tough to survive. In the beginning you haven’t got the time or energy to worry about saving the world. You’ve just got to fight to make sure you can look after your bank manager and be able to pay the bills. Literally, your full concentration has to be on surviving.
Obviously, if you don’t survive, just remember that most businesses fail and the best lessons are usually learned from failure. You must not get too dispirited. Just get back up and try again.

Top 10 SECRETS REVEALED of Successful Entrepreneurs like Dhirubjai Ambani, Reliance India

HI guys! Are you really interested to become a  successful entrepreneur, or you are better off as a salaried employee. While there is no specific  formula for success, studies have shown that successful entrepreneurs share these ten characteristics. And know… it is your turn to check  if you possess any one of them.

Running a one-person business is a creative, flexible and challenging way to become your own boss and chart your own future. It is about creating a life, as it is about making a living. It takes courage, determination and foresight to decide to become an entrepreneur. From the relatively safe cocoon of the corporate world, where paychecks arrive regularly, you will be venturing into the unchartered territories of business.

-Team VasugEarningSeacrets

1. Think success. To attain the kind of success that you want, you need to dream big. Every success story starts with big dreams. You need to have big dreams for yourself - which you want to be somebody rich, famous or fulfilled. You need to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve. But it doesn't stop in dreaming alone. You should actively visualize success in your mind that you can almost feel it, touch it or it is within your reach. Play this image back at every opportunity. What does it feel to triple your current income? How will your life change? What will your business look like if you achieved the million-dollar mark?

Successful entrepreneurs possess an attitude of openness and faith that you can have what you want if you can simply envision it as the first step on the path of action to acquiring it. Management gurus have taught us the power of visualization - seeing yourself in your mind as having accomplished your dreams. If you want to be a successful writer, envision yourself signing books for a throng of people who have lined up to have your autograph. If you want to be rich, picture yourself in luxurious surroundings holding a fat bank account. And the process of envisioning success for you should be a constant activity! You need to think that you are successful (or will be one) every single waking hour. A personal development coach shared me her secret to help her continuously visualize her goals for the moment: when climbing stairs, recite your goal with every step you take. So if you want more money, say "I will have money" in every step of the stairs. This technique will reinforce your goal and keep it fresh in your consciousness.

 

2. Be passionate with what you do. You start a business to change any or all part of your life. To attain this change, you need to develop or uncover an intense, personal passion to change the way things are and to live life to the fullest. Success comes easily if you love what you do. Why? Because we are more relentless in our pursuit of goals about things that we love. If you hate your job right now, do you think you will ever be successful at it? Not in a million years! You may plod along, even become competent at the tasks, but you will never be a great success at it. You will achieve peak performance and do what you have to do to succeed only if you are doing something that interests you or something that you care about.

 

Entrepreneurs who succeed do not mind the fact that they are putting in 15 or 18 hours a day to their business because they absolutely love what they do. Success in business is all about patience and hard work, which can only be attained if you are passionate and crazy with your tasks and activities.

 

3. Focus on your strengths. Let's face it; you cannot be everything to everybody. Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses. To be effective, you need to identify your strengths and concentrate on it. You will become more successful if you are able to channel your efforts to areas that you do best. In business, for example, if you know you have good marketing instincts, then harness this strength and make full use of it. Seek help or assistance in areas that you may be poor at, such as accounting or bookkeeping. To transform your weakness to strength, consider taking hands-on learning or formal training.

 

4. Never consider the possibility of failure. Ayn Rand, in her novel The Fountainhead, wrote, "It is not in the nature of man - nor of any living entity, to start out by giving up." As an entrepreneur, you need to fully believe in your goals, and that you can do it. Think that what you are doing will contribute to the betterment of your environment and your personal self. You should have a strong faith in your idea, your capabilities and yourself. You must believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have the ability to recognize and fulfill them. The more you can develop faith in your ability to achieve your goals, the more rapidly you can attain it.

 

However, your confidence should be balanced with calculated risks that you need to take to achieve greater rewards. Successful entrepreneurs are those who analyze and minimize risk in the pursuit of profit. As they always say, "no guts, no glory."

 

5. Plan accordingly. You have a vision, and you have enough faith in yourself to believe that you can achieve your vision. But do you know how to get to your vision? To achieve your vision, you need to have concrete goals that will provide the stepping-stone towards your ultimate vision. Put your goals in writing; not doing so just makes them as intangible fantasies. You need to plan each day in such a way that your every action contributes to the attainment of your vision.

 

Do you foresee yourself as the next Martha Stewart of hand-made home furnishings? Perhaps today, you need to see an artist to help you conceptualize the new line of hand-made linens that you hope to launch. Intense goal orientation is the characteristic of every successful entrepreneur. They have a vision, and they know how to get there. Your ability to set goals and make plans for your accomplishment is the skill required to succeed. Plan, plan and plan - because without which failure is guaranteed.

 

6. Work hard! Every successful entrepreneur works hard, hard and hard. No one achieves success just by sitting and staring at the wall every single day. Brian Tracy puts it out this way, "You work eight hours per day for survival; everything over eight hours per day is for success." Ask any successful businessperson and they will tell you immediately that they had to work more than 60 hours per week at the start of their businesses. Be prepared to say goodbye to after-office drinks every day, or a regular weekend get-away trip. If you are in a start-up phase, you will have to breathe, eat and drink your business until it can stand on its own. Working hard will be easy if you have a vision, clear goals, and are passionate with what you do.

 

7. Constantly Look for Ways to Network. In business, you are judged by the company you keep from your management team, board of directors, and strategic partners. Businesses always need assistance, more so small businesses. Maybe the lady you met in a trade association meeting can help you secure funding, or the gentleman at a conference can provide you with management advise.

 

It is important to form alliances with people who can help you, and whom you can help in return. To succeed in business, you need to possess good networking skills and always be alert to opportunities to expand your contacts.

 

8. Willingness to Learn. You do not need to be a MBA degree holder or PhD graduate to succeed in your own business. In fact, there are a lot of entrepreneurs who did not even finish secondary education. Studies show that most self-made millionaires have average intelligence. Nonetheless, these people reached their full potentials achieved their financial and personal goals in business because they are willing to learn. To succeed, you must be willing to ask questions, remain curious, interested and open to new knowledge. This willingness to learn becomes more crucial given the rapid changes in technologies and ways of doing business.

 

9. Persevere and have faith. No one said that the road to success is easy. Despite your good intentions and hard work, sometimes you will fail. Some successful entrepreneurs suffered setbacks and resounding defeats, even bankruptcy, yet managed to quickly stand up to make it big in their fields. Your courage to persist in the face of adversity and ability to bounce

back after a temporary disappointment will assure your success. You must learn to pick yourself up and start all over again. Your persistence is the measure of the belief in yourself. Remember, if you persevere, nothing can stop you.

 

10. Discipline yourself. Thomas Huxley once said, "Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you like it or not." Self-discipline is the key to success. The strength of will to force yourself to pay the price of success - doing what others don't like to do, going the extra mile, fighting and winning the lonely battle with yourself.

 

I was in pursuit of success for 5 years. I used to explore every website related to Earn Online and that to FREE. I was a student and I don’t had much pocket money to spend on many websites. And the fact is approximately 95% websites are fake and scam. I lost my huge time. I used to spend 18 hours a day in front of my computer. In result, today I am happy with thousands of bucks I am getting monthly. I guess this article is usefull to you. Feel free to ask me anything related to Entreprenuership, stay tuned.

 

I wish you all the best,

Dhirubhai's secret of success

Dhirubhai Ambani-The Legend of Indian Business
THE PASSING away of Dhirubhai Ambani, Chairman of the Reliance group on July 6, signals the end of an era in Indian corporate history. For the company, however, it raises some queries regarding the future of the group.

While there is no shortage of plaudits for the genius and financial acumen of Dhirubhai Ambani, his two sons — Mukesh Ambani (45), Vice Chairman and Managing Director, and Anil Ambani (43), Managing Director of Reliance — have inherited the reins of a Rs. 65,000 crore empire.

The reasons why Dhirubhai Ambani is touted as having the equity cult in the country are not far to seek. The company entered the capital market in 1977 with what was then a huge public issue of 28 lakh shares under the name of Reliance Textile Industries. Thereafter, it has approached the market on several occasions and the investing public have always responded heartily.

The stage was set in 1985 itself when the company's annual meeting was held in the Cooperage grounds of Mumbai (a football stadium) and attended by no less than 12,000 eager investors.

First to tap GDR market

Reliance was also the first Indian company to successfully tap the Global Depository Receipt (GDR) market in 1992. It is also the only Indian company to raise 50 and 100 year bonds in the U.S. debt markets. Thus, it successfully raised cheaper funds overseas with lower borrowing costs to repay higher cost Indian borrowings.

The company also successfully dabbled in the stock market; often creating controversy and there is no shortage of accusations that it `managed' the political environment and has often been seen to have influenced policy making.

In the years of the `Licence Raj' — industrial policy declarations made periodically where public sector enterprises were given preference for licences, example, availability of raw materials, foreign exchange and quotas — a phenomenon that peaked in the late 1970s and the early 1980s but died out in the 1990s, Ambani's skills were at their best. A senior industrialist, when asked what differentiated Ambani from other businessmen, said, "Everyone managed to get things done during that period; only Dhirubhai managed it better.''

Phenomenal growth An interesting fact is that the Reliance group has seen its most phenomenal growth in the last decade and a half; the period when Dhirubhai Ambani had already suffered his first debilitating paralytic stroke. Recall that when he suffered the stroke in 1986, the company's assets were a mere Rs. 1,000 crores. Then, it had three major projects going on stream — PTA (purified terephthalic acid), PSF (polyester staple fibre) and LAB (linear alkyl benzene) — all inputs for polyester — in Patalganga. The Hazira mega complex was then only an aspiration.

The secret of the success post-1986 is buffeted by the transition of power from the father to sons Mr. Mukesh Ambani and Mr. Anil Ambani with a clear cut division of responsibility between the two under the supervision of Dhirubhai Ambani.

While one face of Reliance is its project implementation skills, the second is the financial wizardry. The project implementation team is kept away from all the happenings of the corporate team. The skills of the project team are borne out by the fact that it was able to implement the mega projects at Patalganga, Hazira and Jamnagar in record time.

The financial team has, over the years shifted from raising funds from domestic equity investors to financial institutions and overseas investors. Today, Reliance enjoys a high credit rating and has no problem convincing institutional investors. The project implementation and finance teams are considered worldclass and top of the line.

Today the Reliance group is the country's largest enterprise in the private sector with revenues in excess of Rs. 60,000 crores, assets of Rs. 55,000 crores and a net profit in excess of Rs. 4,500 crores. Its sphere of activity span petrochemicals — up and down the value chain — including synthetic fibres, fibre intermediates, textiles and oil and gas. More recently, Reliance entered financial services, power, insurance, telecom, biotechnology and infocom.

Foray into telecom

The recent diversifications are unrelated and that is where Reliance will have to really pass the acid test. That the group does not lack financial muscle to power its way into these areas is a given, but each of the new areas is as unrelated to the other as it is huge. The telecom-infocom foray is a case in point. The Reliance group has committing to invest more than Rs. 25,000 crores in this sector that is beset with competition.

Reliance has a 26 per cent stake in Reliance Telecom which provides cellular services to over 3.50 lakh subscribers over 15 States. The group will also be investing in building a broadband backbone, to connect 115 cities with 60,000 kilometres of fibre. Reliance Infocom plans to have a national footprint in telecom with a presence in fixed line, mobile, national and long distance and international long distance telephony, data, image and value added services. This, however, goes against the recent international trend of choosing the more remunerative value-added services over building and renting telecom infrastructure.

Then there are new areas such as insurance and biotechnology that needed to be tackled. This is where the mettle of Mr. Mukesh Ambani and Mr. Anil Ambani will be tested or not.
