Do you want to start a business? Do you know what it involves? Below we want to give you tips and information to be a successful entrepreneur... because not everyone is good enough to start a business. Before getting down to work, you have to ask yourself a lot of questions, to know if we are willing to get involved in a world where you can receive congratulations and disappointments practically on a daily basis. Here are some recommendations and success stories.

Before starting a business, you must ask yourself a question. How much time and money are you willing to sacrifice? You have to have an economic cushion knowing that it still takes you a while to start invoicing. Once you are clear about the economic issue, you should know something positive... entrepreneurship is learning daily... learning to make decisions every day... but with a high degree of uncertainty in the long term. You will learn from successes and mistakes. But to reduce these to a minimum, here are some tips for getting started in the world of entrepreneurship:

• Do networking. Sign up for all the entrepreneurial events you can, exchange cards, talk to everyone who can help you, get noticed.

• Build a team. It's the most important thing. Look for people who place a lot of value on the core of the project.

• The idea counts. The more the better. The value they are going to bring you is much greater than the risk of having it taken away from you.

• Validate your business model with real customers. Locate a potential customer, tell them your idea, and see if they're willing to pay for it.

• Only when you are sure of your first customers, register as a freelancer. Otherwise, you would only be generating expenses for your company.

• Focus on selling. The first objective of the company is to be economically viable, without it other values such as social or environmental values are worthless.
