5 Success Tips for A Start-up Business - Tip 2

Tip 2: Identify Your Priorities, but Be Flexible 

 As a start-up business you need to identify your key priorities and go after them with resolve. Prioritize your work by separating the good from the best. This will give you both flexibility and freedom. In the process of building your business, identify the essential elements that will sustain the business in the long-run. Do not underestimate the time and cost it will take to execute your business plan. Success does not come over night; it takes time and deliberate effort. Speak to people who are experience in the field you want to venture into; they will give you firsthand experience on the risks and positives of the business. After careful planning, avoid going over your planned budget and keep to the time-frame you have set for your business. Remember to set SMART goals. If you do not prioritize you will risk spending so much time and achieving nothing. Every business has important pieces that create the successful result. We advise you to focus more on the support tasks than the critical ones then you will begin watering down your best work. Designing eye-catching packaging for your product may help you stand out from the crowd, but if you have neglected the necessary due dilligence to get your product on the shelves in the first place, it will all be for nothing.

Read the story of the tower below and the learning points you can take from this story as an entrepreneur:  The Leaning Tower of  Pisa is the 3rd oldest structure in Italy and it is over 1000 years old. The Tower of Pisa was designed as a bell tower but its main purpose was to visually attract people to the cathedral in the town of Pisa. In the second year of its construction, the tower began to tilt - this was because the ground was too soft on one side to support the structure's weight. The construction of the tower was halted for almost a century because of war
