5 Problems You Will Face When Starting A Business
If it’s your first time to start a business, never expect that it would be easy, fun and like a dream come true. To
avoid tasting failure at the early stage of your business, you have to anticipate the worst scenarios that could
happen to you so you can be ready to overcome them.
Here are 5 problems you should be prepared of when starting a business in the Philippines, and some tips on
how to deal with them:
If you want your business to go smoothly, it’s wise to financially prepare to cover all the expenses you will
incur in registering your business. Furthermore, have planning and timing. Start registering your business earlier
rather than registering it a week or a month before you plan to start your operation. Remember that aside from
the long processes of business registration, the printing of your official receipts or invoices will also take time.
2. THE CHALLENGE OF FINDING THE RIGHT TEAM FOR YOUR
BUSINESS
Having the right people in your business is vital to your success. But don’t expect that they will come to you
magically and beg that you accept them as part of your team. Don’t anticipate that once you announce your
hiring, worthy applicants will immediately rush to your office to win whatever position is available in your
company. Even if you will receive a lot of applications, choosing the most deserving people to be part of your
team could be quite challenging. If you’re hurrying to hire employees to start your business, chances are, you’ll
end up hiring the wrong people for your team.
I also recommend that you surround yourself with dynamic, inspiring, motivating and helpful people like your
friends, family and mentors so you can have some people who will cheer you up, support you, and actually help
you when you’re down and feeling hopeless.
Remember that starting a business is tough, and it’s only the beginning. If you want to be a truly successful
entrepreneur, you should not just dream to have a business, but you should plan to have a successful enterprise
with happy employees, satisfied customers and of course with high financial performance and stable financial
position. In other words, it’s indeed a long and winding journey. So you better be prepared… be truly prepared.
