Five tips for starting a business of your own-
1. Keep your connections and know who are the right decisions makers-
No matter where you work or network, stay in touch with those people who may be able to assist you and make the right decisions in your organization’s favor. Do not waste your precious time for someone who is not in a position to offer to fund or make a final decision.
2. Find who you can trust as advisors and mentors-
During the start pull out the screws to them and decide if they are a perfect fit to be your support and back you up. Everybody has those set of people whom you trust. You should prick and examine your trustworthy allies.
3. Learn to say no –
When you start a new business, you are hungry. You will say yes to many people even when you are not ready to deliver. If you know you are not equipped to provide something. Be honest and say no.
4. It’s learning through trial and error-
