What should you learn to be good in starting and managing yourown business?

[Joshua Farrell]

Successfully starting and managing a business are two almost completely different achievements requiring two almost completely different skill sets. While starting a business deals with conceptualized modelling, hypothesis testing, resource gathering and creating existence – managing a business is about controlling and allocating resources, revenue and profit growth and implementing operational efficiencies.

Either way, you are going to need all the skills you can get because unlike a specialist role in a corporation or larger business, in your own small business you need to be a generalist – i.e. to be good at everything.

The following 10 items, are what you would need to work on to best be on top of your game, when starting a business:

Business modelling, Pricing strategies, Starting Funding mix, Initial Customer acquisition, Business Domain expertise, Financial budgeting, Compliance with laws, Customer service, Human resources, Computerized accounting

Planning is extremely beneficial. However, I think that when it comes to starting any kind of business, a person must have enough experience and this is one of the most crucial things. A great entrepreneur always tries to learn new things. This is also one of the most important things. When you learn new things, you get better.

You are absolutely right! If a businessman have good marketing skills, he can even sell bad products and make profits. Marketing skill is paramount in business. You can have a good product but without good marketing skill, you are bound to fail.
