3 Successful Business Tips to come out on top
There are many reasons that could push someone to start his or her own business. From unemployment to low satisfaction with the current job, the desire to be your own boss is a strong motivator. But motivation is not enough to be successful in business.
In this very competitive market, many business ventures don’t survive more than a short time. Most of the time this happens due to poor decisions.

1- Define and evaluate your goals:
As referenced in an article by Kartikeya Sharma Information TV, the first step towards business success is knowing where are you going and what measures you will take to get there. It is imperative to have a clear picture of what will your product or service consist of and how will it help your target customer to solve a problem or satisfy a need. Having these questions answered from the get-go will be of great aid for decision making.
2- Have a bankroll
The costs of starting a business can vary greatly depending on the type of business in consideration. However, there is a common denominator in all: it takes time to build a solid foundation as well as financial stability.
Because of this, it is never a bad idea to have some savings in order to guarantee business survival until the equilibrium point is reached. If you can’t afford to take this money from your own pocket (which is always the most recommended alternative), another option is to resort to a financial institution such as a bank to create these initial starting capital.
3- Build a solid network of business contacts:
The old phrase “It’s not only what you know, but also WHO you know” is more valid than ever in business.
Take the time to connect with people that could be a potential source of resources, help or knowledge such as suppliers, other businessmen or investors.
