Advances in technology and communication have made it easier to start a business from home in the comfort of your armchair with little more than a laptop, Internet connection, some spare time and a bucketload of enthusiasm. Therefore among modern entrepreneurs we've found a very common pattern - aspiring entrepreneurs frequently have an idea for a new business and begin to trade without a formal business plan or a bank loan. Their emphasis is on testing the market with very little risk and minimal financial investment. Using this strategy, they hone their niche, research their target market, and critically, this period of 'dabbling' confirms the decision about whether to go ahead or not. The philosophy is very much along the lines of, 'little to lose, everything to gain.' In this entrepreneurship book you'll discover how entrepreneurs set out to start-up their business:How entrepreneurs take less risk by starting up their business without having to quit their day jobThe key factors that are behind whether somebody will become an entrepreneurThe vital ingredients for entrepreneurship to be successful and sustainableWhen to go into business with a partner and when to control a business on your ownThe way to determine what products or services you will provideHow you can enjoy the benefits of having a niche without the risk of being too focusedWhat you can do to test the market, so that you can be sure your start-up business will be a successWhat approach to business plans entrepreneurs actually useHow to create a great brand for you and your businessYou'll discover in this entrepreneurship book how to grow your business start-up:How to make sure you are charging the right price for your products and services and not falling into the trap of the traditional way to value what your business providesWhat you need to include on your website to engage with your clients and give them what they wantThe key principles you need to know in order to get people to know about your business and draw customers to itHow to deliver an elevator pitch for your business to get the interest of potential clientsHow to go about generating leads for your businessThe way to find win-win outcomes for clients and convert leads into salesTap into the great potential for being referred for new businessHow to make networking work for you by employing the right mindset and focusing on successful outcomesGain new clients by leveraging the power of social media to build relationships in the right way You'll also discover in this entrepreneurship book how to take your business start-up to the next level:How to ramp up your marketing so that you expand the reach of your businessGrow your existing business by tapping into the best resource for finding out what else your business could be supplyingHow to identify potential allies that can help grow your business for youHow to manage the expectations of others so that you can maintain a healthy work-life balanceExpand your business through getting the right people onboard who can drive your business forwardCreate a business portfolio by utilizing your experience as an entrepreneur and becoming a serial entrepreneurIdentify when is the right time for you to hand over running of your business so that you can make the most of your success as an entrepreneurBy following the stories of each entrepreneur and learning the lessons they provide, as well using the business start-up blueprint that we have discovered, you'll be on your way to developing yourself into an entrepreneur able to grow a successful business start-up. Nothing gives us greater pleasure than hearing how readers ofIntroducing Entrepreneurship: A Practical Guideare benefiting from the blueprint for business start-up success and turning their passions into profits. We invite you to submit your success stories, whether large or small, so that we can hear how our readers are improving their entrepreneurial skills and creating successful businesses.
