Ideas are like fleas: jump from one another, but do not bite anyone
Quite often I receive emails from entrepreneurs seeking investment - well, today emails and even Facebook messages and Tweets - in which I talk about a business idea "unique". Even some, more daring, I could tell that the "opportunity of a lifetime."

Failure to perform a business plan
Do I need a business plan to start a business? The answer is: it depends, but, personally, I recommend it. For the entrepreneur's business plan as banks: a necessary evil. If you want to start a business and you have to make a 'road show' in search of financing (banks, investors ...), a 'business plan' will end up being a necessary tool Continue reading "errors when doing a business plan" Tags: Business plan , there is a guru in my soup
Undertake 'low cost'
I leave new grandstand in Five Days published on February 13. You can read it in full below or download it in PDF .Undertake 'low cost'
When investing in a company, one of the hardest things for a private investor is to distinguish, from an early time, between a viable business and one in which it is not worth investing.It seems obvious, but it is not at all. Many businesses can be viable and very profitable for the entrepreneur and at the same time not be attractive as a financial transaction to a private investor or business angel. In a way, we could say that, from this side of the table, is to separate the dust from the chaff, to guess, ultimately, the size of the project that they're up entrepreneurs. At an early stage, with just a presentation full of ideas and dreams, not much room to find something tangible that allows minimum security success.
If to all this we add this special socioeconomic situation, critical in terms of business financing and autonomous, where the entrepreneur must sharpen their wits as possible to achieve the funding you need, we can easily conclude that it is time to value an option often discarded: to wage a guerrilla approach or low cost.
Far from being a drawback, implement a basic business structure, or an initial prototype, even with very limited means, and get a first sales-even if they seem testimonials-shows, first, that the company is viable and the another, tenacity and entrepreneurial team's ability to implement its business.
I have the impression that many entrepreneurs pay more attention to use brute force-ie-funding for current and unclog the funnel, which sharpen the wits and overcome the problem not to remain closeted in need of investment. In my opinion, it is more natural to start the business from a guerrilla structure and then, with something tangible in their hands, could go back to hunting the inverter.
Interestingly, few developers do. And that is a huge mistake in the situation we live in today. There are dozens of companies involved in start-up or expansion phase snorkeling in the capital market in search of money to develop their project. Today the situation is similar to a masked ball in which uneven, due to the high number of participants of the same sex, it is difficult to find a dance partner. Banks are not nor were they expected. The few business angels of our country are overwhelmed by the number of projects received, resulting in a problem of attention and appropriate management.
The differentiating factor is to have a prototype, have gotten a first initial sales milestone, having launched, albeit modest, to validate the business model, thus abandoning the comfortable warmth that seems to be following a power point. Take a step forward invites the investor with a special sensitivity values that project and add differentiated value to that team sponsor. Given a scenario of scarcity must try to stand out, and nothing better to start getting down to work.
Today, more than ever, take low cost is a valid option and subsequently spread to more easily financed.
