I have started a food joint and one thing i realized is that it is very important to consider your human resources and treat it with the topmost priority. Getting a loyal and hard working employees is very difficult to come by.
Also, in our world of fast growing technology and decentralization, it is very smart to integrate cryptocurrency into every business to facilitate the mode of payment and also generate more income as the market goes up.

Yeah you have to consider a lot of things. not only the products that you sell are according to their needs or not but there are many other things like your product must last a long time to avoid losses when not sold/ then follow the existing trends. new innovations and so on

of course it needs to be premeditated at first.

Before starting a business the first thing to consider is what line of business you're going to take. Your business should offer the daily needs of people. With this idea, its a sure thing that you won't loss on your business.

In my opinion, capital does not have a big impact on starting a business, but an opportunity because without a business opportunity it will not run smoothly. The profits earned will be hampered. Whatever the initial capital to do business without opportunities is the same, meaningless.

The most important thing that one to consider when putting up business is capital. Well some would say that even if there is low capital if one who do the business is well discipline it will be able to grow the business and yes they are right but in my way if i have to put up a business i should need a huge capital to work things out completely doing business.

I agree with this. Yes, I think that too. There is q big possibility of gaining and not losing if your business is in demand by all people. Like for instance the prime commodities, clothing and others.

First and foremost is the ability from yourself if you are able to build a business, if you have enough capital to start or you are just pushing and trying hard to start even though you are lacking of capital. It is best for you to measure things before you start a business because starting a business is not an easy thing and you should be prepared, well prepared before you start.

Well I just want to share some information regarding on how to start a business because as we can see, we are all want to have a stable business and we want to be a very good entrepreneur someday because if we're just working and working to earn money then if we can't work anymore we won't be able to sustain our needs anymore. I think this is worth reading especially those who are planning to build an ICO or a project. I've got this from my professor on college :

NOTE-REFERENCES :  Webster’s College Dictionary (Random House/McGraw Hill)
What is an Entrepreneur?
Entrepreneur: A person who organizes and manages an enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk.
Initiative: Readiness and ability in initiating action.
Risk: The hazard or chance of loss.

NOTE-REFERENCES : The Portable MBA in Entrepreneurship, 2nd Ed.; William D. Bygrave, Editor. John Wiley and Sons Publishers, 1997.
What Does it Take to Be Successful?

• “In entrepreneurship, luck is where preparation and opportunity meet.”

• “The idea is not what is important. In entrepreneurship; ideas are a dime a dozen. Developing the idea, implementing it, and building a successful business are the important things.”

• “Would-be entrepreneurs who are unable to name customers are not ready to start a business. They have only found an idea and have not yet identified a market need.”

• Somehow, someday… you are going to have to earn POSITIVE CASH FLOW. You need more than a revenue model (but you do need that). You need a VALUE model.
  

• Market share is great, but you can’t pay bills with it.
  

• You can do some financially stupid things to build market share.
  

Where Do You Start?
Think about WHO is going to want your product/service, what they will PAY for it, what you will NEED to carry it off, and how you will MAKE MONEY someday. That is, make a PLAN.

Success depends on
positive cash flow, growth,
 and value creation.

   Owners and investors who forget that tend to get “naturally deselected.”

The Importance of Value Creation

• A successful business is one that delivers value to its customers and creates value for its owners.

Value is delivered to your customers when you do something for them
Better
Cheaper
Faster
Cooler
Different
However, it is likely that none of these will work for long, so continuous improvement and innovation are essential.

Value is created for the owners when:
-You do more with their money than they could do with it themselves
-You invest in productive activities that earn rates of return greater than their risk-adjusted costs of capital.
-The present value of future cash flows exceeds the startup costs.

Value is created by:
-Exploiting proprietary physical resources
-Possessing proprietary knowledge or expertise
-Creating a new or improved product, process, or service
-Staying ahead of the competition through constant improvement and innovation
   
Planning for Success

-Don’t plan a business for today – Plan it for at least a year from now.
-Moore’s Law: Computing power will roughly double every 18 months.
-Bandwidth will continue to increase for most users almost ad infinitum.
-People will live longer and maintain active lifestyles far after retirement.
-Energy sources and consumption patterns will change drastically.
-The world will continue to be a very dangerous place.

How To Not Get Funded


-Have a half-baked idea
-Have a meatless business plan
-Can’t articulate your value proposition
-Can’t identify your market potential
-Can’t justify your sales projections
-Can’t show your investors an exit
-Can’t show your investors a reasonable expectation of a reasonable return on investment
-Don’t think about risk
-Take no risk yourself
-Don’t take time to do your homework
-Try to fund a “lifestyle” venture

Funding Your Venture

-The hardest funding to raise is the first funding. You are probably on your own.
-Later funding gets progressively easier depending on the results you can show to investors and what you need to fund.
-BANKS are probably not going to help.
-The best funding is INTERNAL funding (reinvested earnings).
-PRIVATE EQUITY is the current buzzword for the major capital source for business ventures.
