Hello guys, Sometimes ago I wrote a short article which was posted on Nairaland, in which I gave 10 tips on how to run a successful start-up company with Zero funding, so I decided to share this with my fellow steemians.
For 3 years now since I founded @brindocorp, it hasn't been easy to pull out from the crowd, knowing well you have a lot to give to the community, but sometimes ones dream can shred into pieces due to lack of financial strength and capacity.
So I decided to apply this formula of success
hardwork + smart work = growth
Which is what I am gonna give a few guidelines on what you can do, to succeed as an entrepreneur.
Many young entrepreneurs feel that, without getting an investment from an investor, they can not succeed in building their sustainable business, this condition is partially true. And I would like to share you some tips in which you need to apply to your ideas, in other for you to attain your full potential.
To create funding for your business idea without any financial aid. try to follow this tips.
First of all, do your research on what industry you plan to incorporate it.
Have an idea of what you want to do and figure out ways in which you plan to make this work out for you
Have a Skill to backup your Idea, at times you can have an idea and might not have the necessary skill to showcase this innovation of yours, most times many individuals seek to find partners to run the affairs of implementing their idea, but It sometimes fails, or the person ends up implementing your idea because of his/her skill. Now to solve this challenge learn the necessary skill you need to carry out this wonderful idea of yours.
Be a risk taker, in whatever area you involve yourself with, be prepared to take the big risk to a reasonable doubt.
Select your friends, to succeed with your plan, you must be ready to sacrifice some folks, most especially those who do not impact positively on your life or try to contribute to your ideas.
Think outside the box, actually, this has been addressed earlier. In whatever you do, you have to think big, think of things no one as applied as regards your field, and when you do, don't just think, instead ponder over it and try to apply it immediately
learn from your mistakes, Don't get frustrated by your errors, be ready to pick up your baggage at any time.
Innovate and share your thoughts with others
Make your self a global brand, and finally, get people to know what business model you venture into, at times let off your ego and do cheap or free jobs, as this would create a large client base for your business.
Try and spend less to save more.
Thanks for reading and have a great day.

Thanks for this post.
As I read it, I thought of some of the successful Steemians in the community; and, decided to compare in an original post, the principles they apply which I believe helps define their success.
They remind me of the millionaire-next-door; even, if they’re still in progress mode towards this status.
Again, this was very helpful; and, offers me something to ponder as I continue on the journey.
As a courtesy, may I suggest you edit 6 and 7. I realize how glazed over the editing process can become after a lengthy post.
Peace.
This is good, exactly what i need at this time, thanks for sharing
