Do you have the time and money?
you even think about opening a business, you need to decide if you have the time and money for it. You need to be positive you're in it for the long-haul.
If you're not 100 percent committed, don't do it," Robinson said. "You're making a decision that's going to require you to put up a substantial portion of your net worth at risk. It's going to take more time, more effort and more capital than you thought. It's a decision that will compel you to give everything you have to have a chance to be successful."
Your financial situation becomes even more crucial when you're looking into a franchising opportunity. Some opportunities have initial investments of a couple thousand dollars, while others can cost a couple million. Portesy advised evaluating your budget, expected future costs and willingness to take a risk.

because Passion is one of the most important factors to take into consideration when you're opening a business or starting a franchise. If you aren't passionate about something you're doing all day, chances are it's going to fail.

#1. i'd preffer you saying; do not invest all your money i.e. start small.

It's necessary that you'll go into something that you're passionate about so that when it gets tough, the passion will keep you going.

Give substantial monetary and time investment on sales and marketing activities; coz that is one of the parameters that drives business profitability

1. Do not invest your own money

Since most businesses are risky, seek partners. So, if things do not go all the way, you will not go bankrupt because of the start-up funds, and not pursued debt.



2. Work hard



If you are not willing to work hard, overtime, forget personal gain and health, then entrepreneurship is not for you. At first, you definitely will not be able to pay employees, even if the employees are cheap. So, your employees are your own.

3. Use the latest technology

New technologies such as software and data storage with small companies are able to compete with large companies. Take advantage of low cost technologies on the market.

4. Respect the time

Rate the money in your time, for example Rp20 thousand per hour. This will help when you have to make a decision: If a store charges Rp10 thousand for shipping every week, and it takes you 2 hours to go to the store itself, then pay for the postage from the company, because it is cheaper.

5. Realistic

When creating a business model, look around and look for a successful example of the business model you want, then learn. If you can not find, whether you are an incredible genius, or your business model will not work in the real world.

6. Sell excess, not price

You start a business, you are naturally frustrated marketing it. But, if you compete on the price, you will end up selling at barely or even under capital. Master the skills of communicating with customers, to explain that your product price is higher because it has a better value

i wish to start an bakery and these are few things i have considered.
An adequate start up capital
1. to help me secure a land/place for my bakery
2. to purchase my raw materials and equipment
3. to purchase my oven
4. to hire workers
5. to pay bills
6. to support the business in case of bad market

with this on my mind and in written, i am ready to get my capital to commence my bakery.

In fact, you don't have to think too much. If you want to think about it but don't implement it, you can only think about it.

Some things to consider before starting a business:
1. Products
The product you create needs to directly meet the needs of customers. Do not be confused by adding features or messaging to the product. This can distract customers and dilute the value of the product you bring.
2. Time
Each market has a certain life cycle, and the opportunity does not last long. In the early stages of a new market, you will be very easy to join. But getting too early is also a risk. If the potential of the market has not been determined, you will fail, or be unprofitable after many years of operation.
3. Competition
Fierce competition and saturated markets have made the situation worse for new entrants. This is a common condition in the second half of the life cycle of the market. That is also why you should focus on the market at an early stage. Then you will have many opportunities to develop differentiated strategies for your business.
4. Finance
How much initial investment do you need to develop your product? Do you anticipate the difference between payables and receivables? Both of these represent the financial risks that you need to weigh and compare with the expected return.
5. Personnel
If you consider this a fierce battle, are you confident enough that your warriors can win? If resources are limited, you should ignore the front lines without enough confidence and preserve the personnel for the next opportunity. Build a core team that understands the customer. Beside that, you also need a good specialist who can design the product that exactly meets the needs of the user. Consider whether you have established good relationships with suppliers and distributors to remain competitive.

Your analysis is very good, it seems this is complete to be a consideration when we invest money. actually a lot of things that we must prepare when investing our money including the risk of analysis.
You have a point and besides people are getting greedy when it talks about money they don't know what are the risk could it possibly be happened. Well it has a good side also because it is an opportunity but we should consider that we need enough knowledge and analysis when you want start a businesses.

You are not going to know everything.In fact, you probably won't know anything when you first start. Start anyway. When I first got into real-estate investing, I had no idea how to buy a property, rent a house, or evict a tenant. I figured it all out "on the job." You will too.
