The Basics of Launching a Startup
If you are thinking of launching a startup then you must have an idea. An idea that needs to be refined and cultivated from the start along with its business plan. Let’s illustrate these basics with a real-life venture’s success story.
In 2005, a new startup was founded
known as Mobilelink USA. Its founders Furqan Ken Khan, Yousuf Meghani, and
Salman Khan thought of an immersive business plan; a telecom retail outlet
company that would cater its retail sales services to wireless carriers.
This idea was sophisticated to the
best of its capabilities, market intelligence was gathered, the need was
weighed, the customer base was designated, the target location was selected,
and most importantly the services and products that will fill the market gap
were evaluated.
The second step in starting a new
business is inspecting the finances, tangible and intangible resources, and
designing a suitable business structure. At this stage, financial strength
whilst keeping the worst scenario is examined whether your business will be
able to withstand it or fail. Along with an organizational hierarchy is
premeditated. There can only be one leader.
During the inauguration year,
Mobilelink agonized severe losses because it lacked a proper hierarchical
order. All of the three partners became the boss and confusion in the generic
order of the business started creating which left the employees with the order
implications due to strong financial strength assessment it was able to endure
all the losses but its impacts lasted for the next three years.
Sometimes, the cost of ignorance is
high and that’s what happened here. The last and the most significant step of a
startup is choosing the right people for the right job.
The truth behind Mobilelink’s
success is Mr. Khan’s foremost capability to recognize people’s character and
abilities. His decisive role in building a trustworthy team led Mobilelink to
the peak of colorful success, handsome rewards, and recognitions over time.
