We have talked to five leaders at different stages of development of their business about their company and the reasons that led them to create.
Among the reasons cited include:
Personal development (do what we please, give meaning to what we do, ...)
The fight against boredom, routine (outside the scope of the undertaking, be multi-caps, ...)
The creation of its own post (to create a custom item, climb the ladder faster, ...)
The choice of a lifestyle (be free, creative, independent, control their life ...)
The entrepreneurial spirit (buy / sell, build, create synergies, ...)
The choice of earning more money (a better life, social status, ...)
The speakers also shared their tips for success:
Provide financial security for two to three years to compensate for the lack of compensation to start
Being in good company: both professionally and personally, to be supported, stimulated, including
Collaborate: to partner with other companies, submit joint bids, further, rely on the network
Distinguish themselves, differentiate: doing things the way that our own
Sell and sell well: the turnover is crucial for the sustainability of the enterprise and the creation of capital
Listen to your intuition is as important as the figures
Expect the Unexpected, but accepting the unexpected
Anyone wishing to start a business is immediately confronted with the practical realities: business plan, choosing the status, funding, finding premises, hiring. However, we must not neglect the human aspect of creation, ie the personality of the creator, often determining the success of the company. The roundtable stressed the importance of the project leader in the adventure of creation, not only in terms of skills and reasoning, but also in terms of its underlying motivation.
