Unleashing the power within- Learn tools to develop your business ideas

March 28, 2010

Generating ideas is one thing, developing ideas is quite another. Everyone can come up with ideas to start a business, but not everyone can come up with smart ways to organise these ideas towards a definite cause that will provide solutions to a given set of societal problems. In the book ‘Think and Grow Rich’, author Napoleon Hill reiterate that the ability to organise specialised knowledge and direct it towards a given market to provide unique solutions to a problem is power in action. Power is the ability to effect chantge and get results that is for the highest good of all parties concern.

If you are starting your business and have ideas but struggle with developing these ideas, you will do well to get help from a coach like myself because it will make the difference between launching a lame duck business that will suck money out of your bank account and launching a proper business that will put money into your bank account. You will be surprise how many businesses under perform due to lack of expertise in organising their ideas.

One simple step you can take to develop your business idea is to step back and look at the broad market and start thinking outside the box about all the different ways the problem can be solved before coming up with your solutions. Avoid falling in love with any particular solution because to do so will leave you expose to making the wrong choice due to biasness. Think about how you can combine different independent solutions into one single solution to come up with a unique product. In one of my audio CDs titled ‘Creative Mind’, I covered some of the tools you can use to address this issue. Those of you in the paid coaching programme can access the audio and workbook in the membership resource page. Combination is a technique whereby you look at different services you can combine to form a unique product. I was with a client last week seriously in need of assistance in this area. She has been running a small fashion and accessory boutique for the last twelve months that is struggling to make sales. The business offers:
1. Ladies bags
2. Ladies shoes
3. Jewelleries- necklace, brace lace, earrings,
4. Body and facial cream
5. Lipsticks, nail polish
6. Hair dressing
7. Textile
8. Ladies dresses
9. Menes shirt
10. Perfumes
All the products are sold individually to the end users. No packaging for the gift market is done to capitalise on the opportunities of special celebrations throughout the year such as Valentine’s day, Mothers day, Easter holiday, May bank holiday, Fathers day, August bank holiday, Back to school, Christmas, New Year, special birthdays – 21st, 18th, 40th , 50th , 60th , 70th , 80th etc.
The poor organisation of the ideas of this business alongside, weak marketing plan and strategies have resulted in poor financial outcomes for the business. Why did the owner not see what was so obvious to others. Her internal conditioning (thought patterns are an obvious suspect). Until she dissolves limiting thought patterns and access new and empowering beliefs and thoughts she will be operating below her capacity. She will continue to blame everyone except when all this time the answers lied within her. If this story sounds familiar contact me for more information.

More Tips On Raising Finance For Your Business

March 21, 2010

Well, you need finance to start your business, you have no savings of your own and you need other peoples money to start your own business. Does this sound familiar? Join the club. Why should a third party take you serious? I am serious, why should they hand over their cash to you. It never ceases to amaze me when entrepreneurs dont think about these issues before approaching funders or investors. I meet countless numbers of entrepreneurs who need finance but yet are unwilling to take actions to boost their success rate. Perhaps you are one of the exception. It is with this in mind I want to share yet another three top tips on how to raise funding for your business.

Tip No 1

Make sure that you present yourself well, when you meet with investors and lenders. The way you dress and speak matters. Every step of the way you are being observed. Your presentation must be compelling. This is why we provide training seminars in financing your business to help you develop the right knowledge base so that you give yourself the added advantage when you are faced with potential investors and lenders.

Tip No 2

Think correctly and positively. Your mental life is one you have to take control over. One of the secret of success is the ability to take control of your mind and direct it to what you want to see happen in your life. If you want to raise finance, you can’t be talking about defeat and doubting your ability to do so successfully. I covered this aspect of “Mind Power” in my book “My Business Is My Business- Learn How to Earn a Fortune” and I have produced audio CDs on the subject of the power of the mind. Remember, you have something to offer the investor or lenders. Investors and lenders of money make their money through your ideas. They sell money for interest or dividend to those with great ideas that will generate profits. So the relationship is two ways. All you have to demonstrate is that your deal will help them realise their dreams. They have to see it clearly and so it is up to you to show them how it will work. Stay clear from fuzzy language and terminology that will only serve to distract from raising finance when faced with the opportunity to do so. Do not use jargons familiar in your industry but not outside your industry.

Tip No 3
Solicit the support of experts. You do not want to be “Jack of all trade and master of none”. Remember, the money you pay for expert services is not an expense; it is an investment in your business. Change your perception of money. This is one of the causes of success. Successful people always pay for good advice. The opposite is equally true for people who repeatedly fail in business and life generally.

OK, I rest my case. If you think you will get your hands on other peoples money to invest in your business without incorporating these tips, I will be glad to hear from you. However, it is more than likely you wont and so i would like to encourage you all to take decisive actions to improve your capacity to raise finance.

Regards
Sheila Elliott

Making Your First Sales – top tips for business start-up

March 14, 2010

I hesitate to blog on this topic today but I think I should. I really want to share my own experience with you when I started my business. Believe it or not, even with all my qualifications and experience in business management issues, I did find the issue of marketing daunting when I started for a variety of reasons. Firstly, I have no track record in business and many prospects will ask for testimonials and trade reference.

Secondly, my role from being a finance employee to becoming a business owner was a significant change because I was responsible for my own income and dare I say my salary. Where do I start? Will people take me seriously? What if no one buys from me…………..? These were all the questions I silently asked myself. It is funny, because the truth is, I experienced a mixture of excitement and anxiety all at the same time.

One of the biggest challenges that many entrepreneurs will find when they start a business is the practicalities of selling their own products and services to the target market they really want to serve. Making that first sale is important to boost your motivation to continue. Being able to sell is a skill no entrepreneur can afford to be average at. True, you may be average when you start your business but you should not be content to stay at that level, unless you want to have an average performance in your business. In my case, I had to utilise the expertise of gurus who have helped others in the field and with strong market reputation. I utilised Jay Abraham’s ‘Marketing Mastermind and 93 Extraordinary Referral Systems’ which I used and quite honestly my income grew by more than 300% in twelve months just putting some of the tools shared by Jay Abraham. It is funny when I think about it now but I remembered when I started putting the techniques learnt and seeing the results. I remembered how I unwittingly sought advice from people who are not in business on a subject they know nothing about and sure enough they guided me towards the wrong directions. Thank God, I was wise enough to recognise when to put a break on their proposals. Remember, that it does not help you in any way to get someone who is not running a business to be advising you on this subject. If they know how to market they will be in business. Marketing is not just textbook stuff, it involves your interaction with yourself and others and much more.
Here are my top tips for start-up businesses trying to get their first sales and growing their business by at least 50% over eighteen months- consider them as my top tips.

• Start spending more than 25% of your time per week on marketing activities

• Recruit and utilise the skills of associates and joint venture partners to leverage time and boost sales income

• Seek ways of understanding your existing clients needs and develop solutions for them so that you can increase the average spend per clients

• Develop a marketing system using the likes of Jay Abrahams Marketing Mastermind System and be prepared to invest the time and money to put the system in place. No business will succeed without a solid system to support its success.

• Monitor the performance of all your marketing effort and do more of what works and less of what does not work.

• Seek expert advice and never take advice from people with no track record of doing what you are doing or for that matter with poor results in the area you are trying to master.

Do you know that independent research has discovered that 95% of new businesses fail before their third birthday

March 6, 2010

Do you know that independent research has discovered that 95% of new businesses fail before their third birthday- You are about to find out what the 5% of businesses that survive do differently from those that fail.

… PLUS discover how to start your own business with little or no money down payment
as you use the power of leverage!

Dear Friend,

After working for nearly 16years for different top international and national organisations, supporting different types of businesses to develop and build capacity to serve their customers efficiently and improve their sales and profits, I decided to start my on business 2.5years ago.It has been a very exciting and interesting journey to say the least. Looking back, I wish I had started sooner, but quite frankly it took me sometime to ditch my fears and develop my self-confidence in doing what I always wanted to do and I am extremely glad I have done it now. I consider you to be a special friend of mine because you are reading this page. I know you want to start a business or help someone else do so, otherwise it will be pointless you reading this page. I have a very special story to share with you and I want you to take a short journey with me. I speak from the heart and I want your heart and mind to be involved in all that I have to say to you.

Before we start this journey, I want you to do something very personal. I want you to close your eyes and imagine what life will be for you, if you were to suddenly start your own business and it turns out to be extremely successful. I want you to think about what your new life will look like. I want you to see where you will be living, who you will be working with, the beautiful vacation you will have with your family as you now find yourself with more time to do the things you love to do. I want you to listen hard and fast to what people are saying to you as you now find yourself in this new life……… relax and let your imagination take you where you have never been in the mind. Please do this exercise before you move on. It is well established truth that you will never accomplish a goal you have not first established in the mind.

One of my mentors, who happen to start his business from scratch, forty years ago, and went on to make millions of dollars gave me this very exercise to do before I started his coaching and mentoring programme. It is amazing to note that no matter what you may think in your head, if you cannot see, feel, hear, taste and touch it in the mind, your effort to achieve it will be futile. In other words, if you cannot see yourself already accomplishing your new life, as well as a successful business, your effort to build a successful business will be undermined. This is the first secret to starting a successful business which many ignore at their peril, only to find themselves in failure. This is one of the hidden secret that the 5% of successful entrepreneurs understand and apply in their lives but unfortunately the 95% of entrepreneurs who fail in business are ignorant of this secret.

If you listen, hard and fast to any successful entrepreneur, you will hear them saying that they build their business first in the mind and then in the physical form. I will share with you more about this later. The likes of Robert Kiyosaki, Richard Branson, Andrew Carnegie and many others successful entrepreneurs have written many books to uncover this truth and I want you to understand it importance in the road map that will help you start your journey towards your dream of business start-up and success.

The question is simple, are you prepared to take the journey that will lead you to success. Are you prepared to do what the 5% of businesses that survive do or would you rather choose the path that the 95% of businesses follow only to find themselves in disappointment. These are the real questions you will have to answer for yourself and the path you choose will determine your destination.

But what is the price you need to pay if you are to start a successful business?

Good question. It is not a simple question to answer. You need to know that that you will pay a price regardless of the path you choose. The question you should be asking is this, which path leads to success and how does the failure path look so that you can avoid it at all cost. A great author once said, if you do what you have always done, you will get what you have always got. So look at your results so far and ask yourself what you have done so far to arrive at your results. You will soon find that you have a readymade formula to arrive at your current destination. Every successful entrepreneur you find across the global market knows the formula for success is the same irrespective of where you find yourself. This formula is simple in theory but difficult in practice for all sorts of reasons. In my book “My Business Is My Business” which you will find at the end of this page, you will find more information about this concept. For now, you need to know that the formula for business success is:

Right Attitude + Technical Competences in business management and leadership skills = Business Success

It is well known amongst successful entrepreneurs that 15% of their success has to do with technical competencies, whereas the remaining 85% has to do with right attitude and mindset. Sadly, most support available for business start up tends to be focus on the 15% factors for success and ignore the remaining which is why so many new businesses fail. One of the greatest and richest entrepreneurs, Andrew Carnegie made it clear that if he was faced with a choice of working with someone who is intellectually sound or someone who is harmonious and cooperative in approach, he will always choose the later. You will get a copy of “Think and Grow Rich” at the end of this page, where you will find this information. In addition, in this same book, which is a “must read”, you will find information about why people fail in business. I will list few of them for you now. They are the habit of getting something for nothing, the habit of cheating others, the habit of negative thinking, lack of financial capital the list goes on………………………………….. With all of this in mind, you are now best place to take the right action that will lead you to success.

Hang on; let me introduce myself to you so that you get to know why I am sharing all this information with you. I am a business coach and mentor with over 18 years experience working with different types of businesses across the UK and abroad. I am also qualified as a Fellow Chartered Certified Accountant, with a Masters in Business Administration and a Practitioner License in Neuro Linguistic Programming. In less than two years of starting my own business I generated income in excess of what I earned in my job. My business has been growing steadily using the tools I am about to share with you at the end of this page. I provide training, consultancy, coaching and mentoring services mainly to aspiring and small business owners and I have a strong passion to help develop businesses across the world as I see this as my mission l for the development of our economic prosperity. I have trained, mentored and consulted hundreds of businesses over the last 24 months. I have a track record of inspiring, motivating and empowering aspiring entrepreneurs to start a successful business. I am confident you will also learn from my expertise and those of my team members. You can find out more about me through the testimonial page.

I don’t know about you, but I am sure you do not want to keep repeating a formula for business start-up that leads to failure in less than three years. I am sure you do not want to spend your money and time in a business that will not achieve your dreams. I am sure if faced with a choice of achieving your goals slowly or not achieving your goals at all, you will go for the former option. Well, if I should be blunt with you, many aspiring entrepreneurs go for the short cut approach and when they do not make it, they blame others instead of themselves. The road to success is simple and straight, however it is narrow and very few go through it.

Knowing what I now know, I absolutely refuse to learn formula that will lead to failure. My attitude is to win and to do so big time. This means, paying to get the best advice and using the advice to achieve the correct results. It also means being willing to sacrifice leisure to do the work I have to do to become successful.

Many aspiring entrepreneurs do not think correctly. When faced with challenges they focus on the challenges as opposed to finding solutions to the challenges which is what being an entrepreneur is all about. This is another secret you need to learn and one that is covered extensively in one of my resource listed at the end of this page. Imagine, being faced with no finance to start your business, will you give up or will you find ways of raising finance creatively. Will you start thinking of selling stuff in eBay, perhaps getting your friends to give you all their old books and clothing whilst you sell them on eBay to make money? An entrepreneur will do the later. Someone who is still thinking like a consumer as opposed to a producer will focus on blaming the bank and the government for not giving them grants or loans. Here again, you have just learnt a little secret that the 5% of entrepreneurs do differently from the 95% that fail. If you are serious about starting a successful business, the first thing you are going to have to do is ditch your old ways of thinking and start thinking and acting as successful entrepreneurs.

As I started my business, I realised I needed a coach and mentor. I carefully, chose successful entrepreneurs with proven track record to mentor and coach me in different subject areas. Every successful individual has a coach and mentor. People who are not successful very rarely have a coach. I also learned from my mentors and coaches that they also have coaches and mentors. This is another secret that many aspiring entrepreneurs do not know. I paid for my mentors’ time. I do not expect something for nothing which is one of the causes of failure. Remember this is another cause of failure in business. As I employ what I have learnt from my mentors and coaches, I develop resources that I will use to help others in their journey to success. I was pleasantly surprise when I purchased a programme recently to find that most of the contents of my resources are packaged in this programme and labelled “A business in the box”. The first module of the programme is all about what it takes to be successful, followed by the mindset of successful entrepreneurs. You will find out more about my resources at the end of this page.

As I started coaching and training business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs, I found that I am getting good results. In fact, many of them will describe my approach as inspirational and empowering. All I have been doing is employing what I know work. Most aspiring entrepreneurs have technical skills but lack emotional intelligence to handle the challenges of life effectively. Technical skills are easy to fix. Emotional intelligence is not easily fixed because they are rooted in our beliefs and values system.

…I discovered a couple of unfortunate events in which aspiring entrepreneurs have made decisions that cost them their business

As I work with business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs that are making progress, I noticed they approach their business differently from those that are struggling. Successful entrepreneurs have a clear vision, mission and systems in place to support their business. They understand the power of leverage of other people’s time, experience and money. They understand that partnership and harmonious working are critical for success. On the contrary, when I come across businesses that are struggling, their thoughts patterns are in opposition of those who are successful. They think the world is against them or that they can get by on their own. They are often guided by beliefs and values that are limiting and disempowering. One session with them and I will begin to see a different results emerging. Recently, one of my clients who was about to pack up her business told me that she now has a different type of problem. When I met her, the problem was that she cannot find customers. By the time I finished the coaching programme with her, two months later, she is now having more work than she could handle. What did you think I do? I merely helped her to focus on all the resources that she already has at her disposal, as opposed to focusing on all the things she does not possess in her opinion. I worked with her in developing a solid business plan, as well as policies and systems to underpin her business. This is something that is time-consuming but nonetheless important for business success.

My work in the business start up arena took a different turn for the better!

I realised that to help millions of entrepreneurs out there, I need to document the knowledge required by the market to build a successful business, using clear and simple language as well as real life examples. I decided to write my first main book and I choose the title carefully. You will find details of my book at the end of this page. The book is titled “My Business Is My Business- Learn How to Earn a Fortune”. Research has shown that the number one reasons for starting a business is financial independence and freedom. You want more money and more time to do what you want and how you want it. The title of my book should therefore not surprise you, particularly as it is based on successful business owners as well as those who have not made it. The book is also endorsed by well know multi-millionaires in successful businesses. As people read the book and give me their feedback, I am extremely pleased I published it.

As I get feedback from users of my resources, I realised that it was the right thing to do to ensure that you get the right resources that will take you through the journey of success. Successful entrepreneurs do not rely on one source of income. They have multiple sources of income, which explains why you will find at the end of this page a home-base business opportunity. We also run training courses on online business opportunity and we put together resources that will help you develop your internet marketing skills. You must be aware that most of the support programmes you will come across do not teach entrepreneurs about how to create multiple sources of income or how to think and behave like successful entrepreneurs, which is precisely why 95% of them fail in a short period of time. My resources will teach you different ways you can build multiple sources of income, whilst at the same time building the business you are passionate about. I discovered this information as part of my coaching and mentoring programmes with millionaires such as Mark Victor Hansen, Robert G Allen, Bob Proctor, Paul McKenna ……………………………………

Drop shipping is an arrangement that allows online retailers to sell products of wholesalers online, without handling any inventory. You promote the products of wholesalers through your website or through auction sites like eBay and Amazon. This is how it works. Your customers’ purchase the products from you directly via your website or auction site; upon purchasing your products you receive the cash upfront and then go to the wholesaler to purchase the products at a price lower than the retail price. You pay the wholesaler the wholesale price for the products; you provide the wholesaler with details of your customers (products, address etc), the wholesaler ship the products directly to your customers and you, pocket the profit (i.e. the difference between the retail price to your customers and the wholesale price of the products. Notice, that there is no handling of inventory involved in the process, by you. All you have to do is ensure you market the products after careful setting of the appropriate price to cover the full costs of the transaction.

TOP TIPS FOR STARTING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS

You may have heard that 95% of businesses fail before their third birthday.
However, this there still exists the 5% who survive and abound well beyond their 10th birthday!

Question for you: Have you bothered to find out the magic formula for a successful business start up?
The secret to starting a successful business lies within your understanding of the key ingredients for success. Many beginner entrepreneurs have no knowledge what these ingredients are and for those who do know, some lack its understanding and practical application for success.

ESSENTIALS FOR ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS

Tip 1. Begin with the end in mind
You need a clear vision of what you want your business to be like. No vision, no clear direction and of course no success. Make sure you have high values as well as a mission for the business. A business whose values portrays good standard and a spirit of delivering excellent services and products will always thrive over those with mediocre values or no value at all.
Tip 2. Focus on what you are passionate about
If you focus on a business purely because of its moneymaking potential, you will be least likely to overcome challenges and setbacks. When you focus on a business you are passionate about, you are more likely to persevere with it in the face of challenges and setbacks.
Tip 3. Develop a success conscious mindset
The greatest asset of humans is the mind when used correctly. If the mindset is poor then the results you achieve will be poor. All successful business owners have a success conscious or rich conscious mindset.
Tip 4. Develop a dream team
Remember that nothing significant can be achieved by one man; you need to work with other people and so you need to carefully put together your dream team for success. In business 1+1 = 11; 2+2= 22; 3+3= 33; 6+6= 66 got it. This is called the power of synergy.
Tip 5. Spend enough time developing your business idea and researching your market.
The greatest flaw of most new businesses is that they get into the market in a rush, often prematurely. These businesses often die a natural death due to insufficient and often inadequate business incubators. Spending time researching the market and developing your business idea will save you time and money.
Tip 6. Develop a unique selling point
Avoid making the mistake of thinking that USP is the same as delivering high quality services. I am yet to meet a business that is set up to deliver low quality services. Even when a business provides substandard services and products somehow they still label them high quality.
Tip 7. Develop a clear and compelling business plan.
It is one thing to know what you want; it is quite another thing to know where you are heading. When you have a written business plan, your thought process is much clearer about your business as opposed to the mind map. This can be a time consuming process but it is well worth it in the end.
Tip 8. Get your business insured
This is important so that you can protect yourself should the unexpected occur.
Tip 9. Put in place robust financial management systems
This helps you keep track of all spending and monies received. Sounds like book keeping? Absolutely! Beyond bookkeeping, you also want to ensure a financial report of your business exists as this will be major input for making sound decisions for future growth and development.
Tip 10. Put in place robust sales and marketing systems.
A marketing plan is very important, you may need information systems (backup and other support), people management systems e.t.c. Some entrepreneurs invest in Customer relationship Management softwares to manage every contact.
Tip 11. Develop understanding of finance sourcing
Only approach financiers when you feel confident and the financial outlay is now necessary. Note of warning! If you have not done your homework properly or even lack passion for what you want to do- stay clear from the banks or private investors. Well experienced financial representatives are able to spot it real quick!
Tip 12. Invest in your own personal development
Learn how to sell, how to manage people, how to read financial statements, produce budget and general literature relevant to your line of business. What you fail to prepare for today you will repair tomorrow!
Tip 13. Get yourself a mentor or a coach
All successful business owners have one or more mentors as well as coach(es). Be wise in your selection of a coach or a mentor. Ensure they have real experience in what they are advising you on. It will be absolutely pointless to have a business coach who is an employee. Your coach has got to be in the business of running a business.
Tip 14. Protect your business idea by using the services of patent agents.
Be sure that the agent you use is registered with a professional body.
Tip 15. Familiarise yourself with business law
Take interest in the law regarding your upcoming business. Be sure to obtain professional advise from someone with expertise in commercial or business law. Never attempt to play the role of a lawyer unless of course you are one.
Tip 16. Finally take action and manage your decisions
Do not wait for a perfect product or service. Bill Gates started his computer empire without a perfect product. Be prepared to learn and improve your business consistently. Let me have your comment on this blog post.

Dropshipping – How does it work and how can I make money with it

March 1, 2010

This is a very important question many entrepreneurs looking for opportunity to make money online would like honest and open answer to. I am going to take you through the main tasks involved in getting you to make money with dropshipping and share with you my own personal experience in the journey of exploring dropshipping opportunities.

I am going to give it to you as it is in the real world, no fluff. I have tested everything I am sharing with you because I want to be absolutely certain about the reliability of the information I share with my students and readers alike. Most of what I know I learned directly from experience not just from reading books. I have had ups and downs in the journey, as you will imagine, but I am extremely pleased that I am now clear about what works and what does not work.

If you are not familiar with the concept of dropshipping let me explain it before proceeding. Dropshipping is an arrangement whereby you sell products that are directly held in the inventory of the suppliers and distributed to your customers directly by the suppliers on your behalf. For the novice, this can be a complex concept because it is a reverse of what is the norm. It is normal practice to buy products, stock them and sell directly to customers. Many entrepreneurs relate to this as a way of doing business but find dropshipping as a way of doing business a minefield.

Typical questions that have been asked of me are:

1. How do I get paid for the products
2. How do I know the products I am selling is in stock
3. How much money can I make and what are the risks

All these questions can be addressed when you sign up for our free mini-dropshipping course. Of course there are pros and cons with dropshipping and as a savvy entrepreneur it is down to you to learn how to circumvent the risks and optimise the benefits.

Making money with dropshippers involves taking a number of steps. Each step is important and must be given due attention. To begin with you have to:

o Source the right products you want to sell.
Many naïve entrepreneurs in desperation will start selling products missing this vital step. Products for which the demand is weak on the internet are not likely to make you money irrespective of how cheap you can get them from the dropshippers. The higher the demand, the more likely you are to succeed with the products, all other things remaining constant.

You have to understand the needs and want of your target market by carrying out research. If you jump into a business without sufficient research you will soon learn that your business is really the research. That in itself may not be a bad thing but remember you are putting your time and money at an unacceptable risk taking this approach. Entrepreneurialism does involve taking risks but some element of responsible and managed risks may be called for because your time and money are assets you don’t want to put to waste.

As a result, the first key asset you need to succeed through dropshipping is a mechanism of sourcing products from reliable dropshippers. I want to put it to you blatantly that many of the list you will find in Google directory is unreliable. The biggest risk you will find is that dropshippers will not deliver the item on time at best or at all leaving you expose to criticism from the customers and in some case with a bill to refund customers money.

To learn more about this, you will do well to sign up for our mini course on www.businessstartupuni.com . All that you need to know you will learn for free from this course. If you don’t have time for mini-course you can access a list of reliable dropshippers today from www.businessservicessupport.com/dropshipping

Dropshipping – How to start a business with dropshippers- Part Two

In this article, I am going to continue sharing with you some of the steps you need to take to do business successfully with dropshippers. In part one, I mentioned that having a network of dropshippers that are pre-qualified and reliable is critical for success. Also important is for you to be able to get hold of the products required to satisfy your target market’s needs and want. We will now look at other factors you must carefully consider when planning on doing business with dropshippers. The main points are:

o Check the competition on the products you want to sell
Selling online does not defy the laws of economics. If there is a high demand for a product and the supply of the product is equally high, the price at which you can sell will be low. So you need to check the competition; how strong or weak it is. Will you be one of few online retailers selling the product or will you be one of millions selling it. You can access a free tool today to find out more about your market’s competition. Simply scroll to the end of this article.

o Determine how the online retail price will compare to the price you can order the product for from the dropshipper.
This is so crucial. If the margin is not strong you are unlikely to make profit after deducting your purchasing costs, selling and overhead expenses as well as tax.

o Check the reliability of the dropshipper
How reliable is there business model and how long have they been in business. What is the quality of the product and what is the perception of the market about the dropshipper. How fast do they process orders and what are the consequences for late delivery or frequent mistakes in delivery. You need to get answers to these questions. You can also go to www.businessstartupuni.com and sign up for our mini course if you have not done so already.

o Open an account with reliable dropshippers
There is no guarantee an account will be opened for you. Some dropshippers have very strict policies on who they will work with. You may need to formally apply to become a partner with a dropshipping company and usually provide more information about your business. Having a website is usually important and if you have not got one set up to date, you will find our recommended suppliers who can help you out on my blog site.

o Once your account has been approved and activated, you can then have access to the price you can order the products for.

Ensure you do your maths well. If you don’t, you are taking a big risk. If you are planning on selling these products on EBay make sure you calculate EBay’s fees and PayPal fees in your assessment of the viability of the business. Also, do remember that a dropshipper may not be able to fulfil all your orders and so contravening auction rules due to late delivery may carry a hefty penalty for your business in terms of feedback from buyers. I always advice that entrepreneurs don’t sell products that are dropshipped on EBay or any auction site unless you have total confidence of the deliverability capacity of the dropshippers .

Put an ecommerce website together.

I will be writing another article on the subject of how to put together your website and how to manage risks associate with the process at some point soon, for now I will cover the basics on what you need for your dropshipping business. Your ecommerce website need not cost you a fortune. Your ecommerce website is nothing more than a shop online. It does not earn you sales automatically. You will need to do marketing at different levels if you are to see your business generating sales. On this site you will find our recommended ecommerce providers, host service providers and more. My company also work in partnership with an Oscommerce expert web designer that offers an off the shelve e-commerce website that comes with a shopping cart for as low as £150 plus VAT and the site is also SEO friendly. You will need to pay for your logo and graphic design and any merchant account integration. It is perfect for start-up that doesn’t have too much money to invest on website.

o Promote your products using internet marketing strategies and direct marketing strategies
Driving targeted market to your site is critical for the success of your business. To do this, you need the support of companies that have reliable tools that you can draw upon. Watch out for my marketing tips article. Subscribe to my blog site if you really need more assistance.

Starting A Business- Part 2

March 1, 2010

Starting a business is a noble decision and so you should feel good about the journey you are about to take. I hope you have read part one of this topic, where I shared the importance of serving your customers. If you have not read part one, please go to my blog site and download a copy from there.

There are numerous ideas you can generate to start a business, but like I said in part one, serving your customers should be taken seriously throughout the process. To serve your customers effectively will call for an understanding of their needs and want. It does not matter whether you are planning an online or offline business, this principle applies to any type of business. Ignore this basic principle at your peril because sooner or later you are going to find that your market is your boss. Offer them what they don’t want, and they are off to another supplier. That is just the way things are. So let me ask you these questions now:

1. What is your motive for starting a business?
2. Why do you want to start a business?
3. Is your motive balanced?
4. Will your motive lead to a sustainable business?

Do take your time to answer these questions. Starting a business well is better than starting one in a rush and paying a big penalty later. Read a copy of My Business Is My Business- Learn How To Earn A Fortune, and you will gain practical insight on what it takes to start a business. The book is loaded with lots of stories about good and bad practices of budding entrepreneurs, as well as established businesses. The book takes you from ground zero to ground hero. You will find out about some of the myths around money and how these myths stifle creativity and ultimately business success.

Assuming you have taken the time to answer these questions, your next task is to find out what business is most suited for you. You are far better off building a business around your passion than building one around something you don’t really like or something someone else suggested you do. Remember, business is about serving. If you don’t like what you do, it will eventually affect the way you relate with your customers and of course hurt your dreams and financial aspirations. To get started, you must identify your passion and find ways of turning it into products and services.

The process of identifying your passion is not that difficult. However, many entrepreneurs I coach, very often needs help from a supporting third party to draw out their true inner passion. I always tell people to go back and look at their lives and identify those things they love to do. Very often, we take these things for granted and underestimate their real worth, choosing instead to pursue that which we are not passionate about. To take this one step further, let me ask you another question. What can you do for free, everyday, if money was no object? That my friend is where your passion lies. It is that simple, don’t complicate it.

Let us assume you are passionate about children. You love children darely. You may want to build a business around children. There are so many things you can do around children and you can easily build a business around themes relating to children. You can sell children’s clothes, you can write children’s books, you can care for children and you can sell children’s games or toys. The list is endless.

Once you have an idea of what you want to do for children, the important thing is to know the age range of children you want to serve. That age range is your target market and understanding their needs and want will be the next step. As part of my coaching, I always take budding entrepreneurs through a series of step to clarify their ideal market. Clarifying your market to the lowest possible denominator is critical in business. If you don’t do this properly at the initial stage, business planning will be challenging and so will marketing. There is nothing worse than trying to sell to the wrong market just because you did not clarify the target market correctly at the initial stage. To find out more about how to identify your target market, download a copy of My Business Is My Business today from my website.
