One issue I am having with most aspiring entrepreneurs is the fact that they want to start big even when they do not have the resources to do it. As a result of this, their ideas end up with them. Some go around looking for huge amounts of money to start up their businesses. Some go to the extent of seeking a loan to start up a business, which is a very bad idea, according to me. Getting a loan to start a business is not a wise decision, getting a loan for a business should be for expansion. This is because the business interest should be able to service the loan. So getting a loan to start a business might not be able to provide enough to service the loan adequately. So, back to the main essence of this write-up, an aspiring businessperson should be ready to start their business with what he has. The business should not necessarily be a huge one at the start.

Lots of businesses thriving today started small. The truth is, if one truly believes in his ideas, he should be able to incubate them till they reach a bigger level. Most times, when businesses start small, it has a tendency to thrive because the owner will learn a lot from the business compared to starting big, hence you have no absolute control over the business. Another advantage of starting your business with what you have is that, if the business collapses, you won’t spend your life paying debt. You know that you’re not indebted to anyone.

As someone who began doing business at a tender age, I understood the joy in using what you have to begin a business. You might end up waiting for a long time if you want to start big. There is nothing wrong with starting a business. However, when the resources are not readily available, it is important to start with what you have. A friend of mine shared a business idea with me last year and told me that the business would require a huge amount of money to start. He mentioned that he would love to get some equipment and other stuff. I advised him to start with what he had, but he derailed from my advice and went about looking for whom to invest in his business. To date, he hasn’t been able to start the business. Had it meant that he began with the little he had, he would have been able to get some of the equipment. There’s power in a little beginning. No matter how little your beginning is, with consistency and efficient knowledge, one can grow a little and insignificant business into a giant. All you need is to just start.

Un problema que tengo con la mayoría de los aspirantes a empresarios es el hecho de que quieren empezar a lo grande incluso cuando no tienen los recursos para hacerlo. Como consecuencia, sus ideas acaban con ellos. Algunos van por ahí buscando enormes cantidades de dinero para poner en marcha sus negocios. Algunos llegan al extremo de pedir un préstamo para poner en marcha un negocio, lo cual es una muy mala idea, según yo. Obtener un préstamo para poner en marcha una empresa no es una decisión acertada, obtener un préstamo para una empresa debería ser para ampliarla. Esto se debe a que los intereses de la empresa deben ser capaces de pagar el préstamo. Así que obtener un préstamo para iniciar un negocio puede no ser capaz de proporcionar lo suficiente para pagar el préstamo adecuadamente. Así pues, volviendo a la esencia principal de este artículo, un aspirante a empresario debe estar preparado para poner en marcha su empresa con lo que tiene. Al principio, la empresa no debe ser necesariamente enorme.

Muchas de las empresas que prosperan hoy en día empezaron siendo pequeñas. La verdad es que, si uno cree de verdad en sus ideas, debería ser capaz de incubarlas hasta que alcancen un nivel mayor. La mayoría de las veces, cuando los negocios empiezan pequeños, tienen tendencia a prosperar porque el propietario aprenderá mucho del negocio en comparación con empezar a lo grande, de ahí que no se tenga un control absoluto sobre el negocio. Otra ventaja de empezar tu negocio con lo que tienes es que, si el negocio se hunde, no te pasarás la vida pagando deudas. Sabes que no estás en deuda con nadie.

Como alguien que empezó a hacer negocios a una tierna edad, comprendí la alegría de utilizar lo que tienes para empezar un negocio. Puede que acabes esperando mucho tiempo si quieres empezar a lo grande. Iniciar un negocio no tiene nada de malo. Sin embargo, cuando no se dispone fácilmente de recursos, es importante empezar con lo que se tiene. Un amigo mío compartió conmigo una idea de negocio el año pasado y me dijo que el negocio requeriría una gran cantidad de dinero para empezar. Me dijo que le encantaría conseguir equipo y otras cosas. Le aconsejé que empezara con lo que tenía, pero se desvió de mi consejo y se puso a buscar quién invirtiera en su negocio. Hasta la fecha, no ha podido poner en marcha el negocio. Si hubiera empezado con lo poco que tenía, habría podido conseguir parte del equipo. Hay poder en un pequeño comienzo. Por pequeño que sea tu comienzo, con constancia y conocimientos eficaces, uno puede hacer crecer un negocio pequeño e insignificante hasta convertirlo en un gigante. Todo lo que necesitas es empezar.

My dear you've shared a valid truth, I have seen and heard some people say they want to start up a business but the fund they have is too little because they have imagined and anticipated how they would like to startup their business.

Delaying your dreams because you are waiting for the right resources. Sometimes, starting small determines your growth, understanding and strength of how your business is going to strive. There is power in little begining because it reduces financial risk , but gives an entrepreneur a chance to adjust, learn and grow at a manageable pace without pressure.

Just as you've said, it is true that most big and successful businesses around us today started from very humble beginnings. Entrepreneur needs consistency, patience and the zeal to grow step by step in order to make a visible difference.

Your emphasis on avoiding loan whilst starting a business is so valid, I am of the opinion too that expansion is always a better stage to consider such commitments.

This post is an inspiring reminder that the little steps we take today can eventually lead to something great.

Thanks for sharing.
