FUNDAMENTALS OF STARTING A BUSINESS

1. IT STARTS WITH BECOMING AN ENTREPRENEUR; not the employee who depends on a steady pay cheque.
- You don’t start a business to become an entrepreneur rather you become an entrepreneur to start your own business. 
- Become the kind of staff you would love to have on your payroll and life will only reward you accordingly.
- You struggle when you attempt what you have not become. A dog does not need rehearsal to bark. It is its nature.
- Entrepreneurship is not an official position you attain— it is an attitude, a state of mind.
- It is the willingness to take on or share in the risk of an enterprise. 
- It is taking responsibility for the profit or loss of a venture. 
- It is sticking your neck out when uncertainties stare you in the face. 
- It is daring to take a chance that might otherwise make or mar you. 
- It is pursuing an unguaranteed future with the benefit of instinctive knowledge. 
- It is daring to die trying than living on mediocre pay cheque.
- It is approaching the unknown despite your fears.
  2. BUSINESS IS ABOUT SOLVING PROBLEMS, ADDING VALUE AND MEETING NEEDS.

- You may not stand the test of time if your motive for going into business is solely to have your needs met.
- If you help enough people get what they want, you would end up having what you want.
- This is what forms the object of your sales proposition.


3. BUSINESS IS NOT RUN WITH MONEY BUT WITH IDEAS.
- Ideas will tell you where the money is and you simply go there and pick it. 
- Having Money will not necessarily generate IDEA but having IDEA will ultimately generate Money. 
- IDEA is the principal capital in business.

4. IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IMPACT IN BUSINESS, FOCUS IT. 
- Learn to major on major and minor on minor. Make first things first.
