5 SUCCESS TIPS FOR A START-UP BUSINESS

Tip 4:Create a Solid Team

The major difference between the business owners/investors and the self-employed in the cash flow quadrant is how they approach a given task. The Self-employed like to get down and dirty and do the job themselves. The self employed are determined but this approach could be limiting in the sense that there's just so much you can achieve as a person.

As a start-up entrepreneur , you must accept the fact that you cannot do it all alone. You will need people to sound off your ideas or professionals in your field of business to give you insight. Steve Jobs had Steve Wozniak. Bill Gates had Steve Balmmer. Mark Zuckerberg even had the Winklevoss twins. According to Robert “The bottom line is that if your business or investment venture only has one “founder, ” it probably means you are unable to talk any of your friends into starting the company or investing with you”. In other words, it is a vote of no confidence.


Part of what you stand to benefit from creating  a solid team is that ,your team members can serve as an investment criteria for funding of your business. Having experienced team members will assist you in making adjustments no matter how little that will bring about a big pay-off in the long-run. Its best to have a team that compliments your vision and share the same mindset.

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
