Anyone who’s tried to do something new knows that sometimes you need a bit of help and adice. Here are a few practical tips for young people who want to develop their own business ideas.
1) Start young, don't be afraid of getting into business at any age
2) Ask for help when you need it, it's not a sign of weakness.
3) Network, mingle and talk about yourself and your business at every opportunity.
4) Practise your handshake, a firm and confident handshake is essential. And remember to smile!
5) Always carry a business card, or leaflet. Anywhere you go there could be potential clients - be prepared, practise if needed.
6) Give back; help those who have helped you.
7) Get family and friends involved, they are more than willing to do a bit of 'word of mouth' marketing.
8) If possible, get involved in Young Enterprise and any enterprise activities offered by your school or local council.
9) Get involved in any local community, town, city events etc – you never know who you are going to meet.
10) Find time to relax and develop interests outside your business.
