Results: You Think Like an Amateur Entrepreneur
Your answers suggest you're much more likely to approach a new venture the way an MBA might: research, write a business plan, raise capital, then launch. The problem is, this method isn't always the best way to start a company when you're dealing with so many unknown variables. You don't know who your competitors are, how much money you'll need, or even whether your idea is a good one yet.
Here's how an expert entrepreneur would have navigated the situation:
- 1. Talk with people you know who will support you in making it become a reality.
- 2. Focus on the customers that you have through existing relationships.
- 3. Customers' feedback and how much their ideas reshape your own.
- 4. Pitch the company on a partnership to create a product jointly.
- 5. Determine what you can afford to lose, and minimize the money you need for each step in the process.
