There is an idea!

Many novice investors and businessmen are faced with unexpected and sometimes insoluble problem: how to start a business and / or where to invest? How to choose the very idea of ??a business or investment proposal that will quickly bring the benefits and positive impact on reputation? Imaginary paths, one of whom, having decided, you need to start your way - a lot. And you will decide in the direction of some of them make the first and most important step. I only outline the options and tell you about the experience already held businesses. The first variant must invest in the business of someone from the family, making it truly a family. Advantages of this solution are obvious: you knew from the beginning on how to develop the project, who works there what the prospects are, where waiting for failure. Cons detected soon enough, too: both at home and in the office all the talk will be conducted only on the work, a business dispute with a co-owner could develop into a family feud, may have to contend with a relative for the right to somehow influence the situation in the firm. Personal experience: Fedor, 27, head of the department of transportation services, Tula "Two years ago, following the company paid me a very substantial bonus - 8,000 dollars. I think this award is absolutely deserved, as all the previous 12 months, I worked as a damn, and even the organization of their wedding completely engaged. When brought home this amount, the weekend talked with my wife as a money order. Change the car to go to posh vacations, postpone the purchase for the unborn child ... The options were many, but in the end we decided that money should work - and were thinking about how to invest. A month later decided: I made money in the authorized capital of the company's cousin and became the owner of 30% of the business. Initially jarred his brother, that I come to all meetings with clients and sometimes do not agree with his opinion. But then we have a serious talk and assigned responsibilities. 4 working days from now, I pay the basic work, and Friday and Saturday morning - for our company with his brother. " Version of the second turn your hobby into business again Pluses are obvious: you do not just "burn" a new business idea, but also thoroughly versed in the specifics of a new case. Cons: only a few people do not stop every minute to get pleasure from a hobby that turned into a work of personal experience: Oksana, 31, a copywriter, Moscow "I am a philologist by education - the teacher of Russian language and literature. However, after a brief teaching experience, I realized that the more I love to write their own texts, we analyze other people's. The husband supported the idea, and I left school and became a freelance copywriter. Simply put, a journalist at a remote arbitrary breads. -Listed for copywriters and soon began receiving orders for writing articles. Were very difficult topics - technical article on the operation of devices - and such that were written in the same breath - for example, coffee machines, furniture, "Mercedes" ... Now, after 2 years, I am writing is less. Now, with her husband working at home: doing website development on a turnkey basis. He does the work of the programmer, and I'm doing content management: part of text writing itself, most of the ordering other copywriters. To earn decent: recently took a mortgage in order to turn the kopeck piece "in a four-room apartment - we in fact have two sons grow up" version of the third Buy or borrow a proven business idea. For example, enter into a franchise agreement and open in their city, "McDonald's" or the famous chain store in the country of meat. Pros: You will receive clear instructions on how to organize things, will not have to spend money on design and full-scale advertising. Cons: In this business you can be realized only as an organizer - to invent something of their own is likely to be prohibited, so that your institution is not beaten out of style similar. Personal experience Karina, age 26, store manager of cosmetics, Stary Oskol, "After the divorce he went to our apartment, and my money's worth half its value. I bought "kopeck piece on the outskirts of the city, made repairs, and the remaining funds decided to invest in their businesses. On the idea long thought: my best friend, Marina and a half years ago, opened in Belgorod cosmetics store. I quickly issue on its work and leave for a week she went to her friend to visit: to learn from business experience. Now, a year later, we all orders of goods are doing together, to receive discounts from suppliers and service delivery. And also are thinking of clubbing together to open another store in Belgorod! ". Find the fourth version of that product or service that you personally do not have enough in the market - and to do these activities Pros: you will immediately come up with a unique concept for your company, its features compared to competitors. Cons: have to spend on a complete market research, to be sure of the need for such goods and / or services to many people, not you alone. Personal experiences of Catherine, owner of online store items for children, Moscow "Without clarification it is clear that such shops in Moscow and suburbs dozens, even hundreds! But when a son was born, I spent hours sitting on Mamsko internet forums and noticed that many other moms proven products in Moscow shops to be found. After consulting with my husband, I began opening its virtual store: signed contracts with those same companies, has purchased a trial consignment of goods (director of the firm, which employs her husband, allowed to use their warehouse), ordered the programmer site. Year has passed: we have not only paid back all the costs, but also get a good profit! "Olga Milto.
