What is a business?
Business can be
defined as a commercial activity which adds value to the society and is
exchanged either in goods and or services to make sustainable profit.
A business can also be described as an organisation that provides goods and services for human needs.
Characteristics of a business
1. VALUE:
You must be adding value or solving a
problem. As a startup
business, if you
focus solely on money, your business
will not last but if you
focus on the
value you want to add to the society ,
your business will last.
Even if you are doing the same kind of business
with a lot of entrepreneurs, try to be distinct. Even if it is only having
integrity that will make you stand out from the crowd, be distinct. Look for
the value in a business before you invest in it.
Carry out proper feasibility
studies before you start that business. At a later date, I will write about
feasibility studies and how to write yours.
2. PROFIT:
You must be making some form of
income. Even if you if you
make losses
at the beginning or during your
business, you must have it at the
back
of your mind that you are in business
to make profit, else your business
has
to be a NGO.
3. SUSTAINABILTY:
One breakthrough is not a business.
Establish a
business that can run
without your presence. The ability to
repeat a profitable
process on a regular
basis is what makes a business
different from a runs man
or a chronic
hustler.
What is a business Philosophy?
A business philosophy is a set of beliefs and principles that a company
strives to work toward. This is often referred to as a mission statement
or company vision.
Sometimes, some business create a set of words different from their vision and mission statement to represent theire business philosophy. It is essentially the company’s operational
blueprint.
The business philosophy explains the company's overall goals
and its purpose. The philosophy also outlines the values that are
important to the company.
Once a company creates a business philosophy
it must articulate the philosophy to its employees.
