Do you dream like a child? Do you act on your ideas? Or do you let your dreams and ideas slip away?
Victoria Ransom, co-founder of Wildfire Interactive says:
“Even if you don’t have the perfect idea to begin with, you can likely adapt.”
But how do you proceed from an idea to actually making it happen?
When you want to bring a new product or service to market. First do your homework and decided exactly what you plan to offer.
Sounds simple right!
But every day, countless new product and service ideas are conceived--never to be born because they're not properly brought to market.
In fact, a large percentage of the calls we are receiving are from small-business owners who want exactly this sort of help.
We carefully guide them through to help them successfully bring their new products and services to market.
Few important steps to keep in mind are:
Study of your competition
Find your ideal customers
Create a unique value proposition.
Define your marketing strategy and tactics.
Test your concept and marketing approach.
Roll out your campaign.
Know your product's lifecycle.
Startups have always been hard. Even when you think you are putting in your best, it may not be enough to pull it off. Truthfully, most people fail. But don't give up on your dream just yet. If you really believe that you have something amazing to share with the world, go for it.
Remember
No growth hack, brilliant marketing idea, or sales team can save you long-term if you don’t have a sufficiently good product.
It is essentially the efficient and effective generation and development of ideas through a process that leads to new products.
“The product that wins is the one that bridges customers to the future, not the one that requires a giant leap.”
–Aaron Levie
The most important goals you set for yourself as a startup entrepreneur will take time to achieve business stardom.
Enthusiasm is the fuel of any business.
For you to be a successful startup entrepreneur, the number one trait you’ll need to develop in your journey as a startup founder is perseverance. And the only way to develop that is to understand why you’re in business in the first place.
German philosopher Frederick Nietzsche once said, ‘He who has a “WHY” can endure any HOW." Knowing your why is simply knowing the core reasons why you want to achieve the goals you’ve set out to accomplish.
Do you want to Start a Business?
Being known for something is awfully enjoyable. People may start referring to you as the marketing guy, or the retail maven or the software guru. Whatever it is you’re recognized as, it’s fun to build that brand and earn that recognition especially if the brand you make and develop is your OWN.
Once you've Built a Startup. Next, you get to Build a Legacy.
