How To Start Up and Remain In

Business.Excerpts From a Book for Small & Medium Business Development

Written By Akino Davis

How to Use and Apply this Manual.

This Manual is a guide for aspiring entrepreneurs and future business owners on the ABCs of start-ing up and successfully managing their ventures. This manual is not a fool proof guide and noclaims of guarantee are suggested herein. It is my belief that the success of a small business or anybusiness is dependent upon the management and vision of the business owner and the team operat-

ing the business.

I hope that as you read this book, the information will inform you accordingly and that you makethe decisions that is right for your business to start and remain a success in the marketplace.

Wishing you all the best of success!

Excerpt From Chapter 1: Developing Your Ideas.

Every new business starts with an idea. Ideas can be unique to the one who possess it but many abusiness has been started from the modification of existing business ideas. Your idea is the most im-portant seed for your business and one must seek out to guard your idea and protect it.

A business idea, though birthed in your mind and heart, can be easily stolen, copied or modified.Having a business idea does not give you ownership of a business but it is only when this idea is de-veloped and your business started can you give claim to the business.

The development of your business idea is an essential step. Having a unique idea does not guaran-tee that your business will be successful. The idea is merely a seed and you need to nurture it to astage where it can morph into a successful business. Developing a successful business idea will in-

volve the following steps:

Journaling your Idea, Conducting Idea Studies and Crunching Start up Numbers
