Basics of entrepreneurship or how to start a business

Entrepreneurship in Russia is developing at full speed. This has become possible recently, thanks to the creation of programs of state support for beginning businessmen.

Today, being on the register of unemployment, eachcan learn for free at the courses "Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship" and subsequently receive a grant to open their own business. Thus, the dream of many is to work for oneself, to become a reality. Although in fact the process of obtaining a subsidy is much more complicated than it may seem, yet this is a unique opportunity that should be used while the authorities are ready to encourage your undertakings.

But what if you are not unemployed anddo not want to risk refusing your work. You can go the other way by studying the basics of entrepreneurship yourself, registering for yourself IP, try your hand at small business. True, you will have to invest your own money or take a loan.

With what it is necessary to begin the study of this specificareas of activity? First, study the legal basis of entrepreneurship: the law, its interpretation, the tax code. And then refer to other aspects of small business, including the psychological aspect: negotiation, management psychology, ethics of communication with the client. And the basics of marketing will help you understand the ways of studying the market for services or goods.

Having studied the theoretical foundations of entrepreneurship,should prepare a quality business plan (based on real data on the relevance of your service or product). With such a document, you can apply to the bank to provide you with a loan for business development.

The fundamentals of business and entrepreneurship are preciselyare reduced to the ability to introduce a new service or product, whose active dissemination would lead to the development of the economic situation in a particular region of the country, to an increase in the standard of living of the population. Such a service has recently become private kindergartens, which solved the problem with queues in kindergarten; advertising agencies in small towns where they have not yet existed, brokerage offices, citizens counseling services on various issues and other unique business projects.

But there were also ideas that are not destined to develop -for them the time has not yet come. For example, a company that provides cleaning services (something similar to the common service "husband for an hour"), has taken root in large cities, but does not develop in small towns of our country.

It is in order to learn how to be trueentrepreneur, and therefore be able to take risks, but to take risks wisely, you need to learn the basics of marketing (ways of studying the market), the psychology of business, be a little accountant, a little lawyer, direct executor and director in one person. Otherwise, the idea is doomed to failure.

Begin to study the basics of entrepreneurship alreadytoday, if your dream is to have your own business. Perhaps once you fail to achieve the desired results, but the ability to learn from your mistakes and purposefulness sooner or later will play a role.
