I agree with you. The best part of enriching once business knowledge is to startup one's business. I am speaking for the solo business enterpreneur who started to have his or her small-scale business.
When I hear the story of Amazon too, I am bewildered by the vision of these entrepreneurs. From an online book store to a tech giant, Amazon started very small in 1994.
I am hearing of the story of the street vendors in Thailand for the very first time. It is always inspiring to learn that a business that is presently large started from humble beginnings.
These accounts prove that the markets are ever kind to entrepreneurs who identify societal problems and develop fitting solutions.
I always tell people that business is not about how you start, it is about the vision that your have. If your vision and focus is clear, you would grow in leaps and bounds no matter how small you started.
Starting small can be because of uncontrollable factors majorly among them being low capital. The idea is that even when a business is starting small, the drivers of it should always have a big picture.
Indeed, i think these businesses should serve as an inspiration for all of us who have started small. There are so many persons who feel because they started small, the business can never grow more than that.
A lot of people are always discouraged of starting a business because they don't know when they are going to be able to grow its successfully but it is something they don't understand that it is only starting it that is the most difficult aspect.
The most difficult part of running a business is in the early days. When once an entrepreneur is able to surmount the early days, like the first 3 years, it would grow. But most budding entrepreneurs give up so easily.
Yes i believe if they could do it, i myself would also be able to do it and so as anyone else out there, we just have to be patient and be consistent in that which we do and with time we would definitely get there as well.
The challenge is that most young people don't like to face the challenges of running a business. We have been psyched up with success stories without being told the price that had to be paid for that perceived success to spring forth.
One of the biggest investment Microsoft made in the gaming industry recently was the accusation of Activision Blizzard which they paid over 40 billion dollars to buy the company.
These stories are a motivation to small scale businesses. They show that you can rise to greatness with time and effort. One should never look down upon a small business, small strides can take you so far.
It is always very important for someone to be committed to whatever they are doing as long as they have a very good plan which they started within the first place.
I also started my business small and it grew to become something that I can look to the future with hope.
