So, you\u2019ve got yourself a great idea, a few interested investors, and maybe the beginnings of a launch team. Now, you\u2019ve just got to figure out how to go globa<\/a>l (okay, only after you\u2019ve gone local, then regional, then national, but you get the point).<\/p>\n These three startup tips will provide a solid foundation for your eventual takeoff. Just don\u2019t forget about the little guys when you\u2019re a massive success, alright?<\/p>\n According to our exact calculations, there are about a million things to think about when starting a business. Or was it a billion? Either way, it\u2019s a lot, and probably too many.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll never perfect every little detail\u2014not if you want to launch your business before the next century, that is. Focus on big picture ideas<\/a> (and trust that the rest will follow):<\/p>\n \u25cf Fine-tuning your minimum viable product or service Once you\u2019ve finalized your product line, launched a captivating website<\/a>, and targeted the right customers, you can then focus on more microscopic logistics.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We\u2019re not just talking about people who are good at their jobs. That\u2019s important, too\u2014competence, innovation, intelligence, and so on\u2014but it won\u2019t mean much if you can\u2019t trust your employees and collaborators to actually put their intellect to good use without your constant oversight.<\/p>\n But here\u2019s the thing: it\u2019s hard to trust someone you\u2019ve never worked with.<\/p>\n Starting a business is a bit like surfing. Sometimes, you\u2019ll sit on your board for a long time before a good wave comes\u2014too long, you think to yourself. Maybe I should just go home?<\/p>\n But when you finally catch the perfect wave, you\u2019ll be thankful you stuck it out.<\/p>\n Waiting for that wave is part of the process. And once you feel comfortable getting up on your board, you can start incorporating more complex and difficult tricks\u2014stuff you\u2019d never try during your first, or even fifth, surfing lesson.<\/p>\n This long-winded surf metaphor is all leading up to say, wait until your startup has gained some initial traction before you try expanding. Start with limited offerings (like items in only a few colors, designs, or configurations), focusing on quality, not quantity. Bit by bit, you\u2019ll see increased web traffic and growing sales<\/a>. Use these indicators as a sign to start scaling\u2014slowly.<\/p>\n When you do start to experience real success, ride that momentum like a wave.<\/p>\n The hardest part of starting a business is actually\u2026 starting. You can probably think of a million reasons to put it off\u2014there\u2019s too much competition, I\u2019m so busy right now, the market might crash soon. If you try hard enough, you can convince yourself of almost anything.<\/p>\n Instead, take a shot at convincing yourself of all the reasons this startup is a great idea. Try positivity on for size and see just how nice it feels. With these tips, you\u2019ll be off to a good start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, you\u2019ve got yourself a great idea, a few interested investors, and maybe the beginnings of a launch team.
