HEALTHY STARTUP

In the early phases of a business, there are a number of aspects that contribute to its success. You may profit from things like a clear company strategy, marketing, and social media initiatives, and a defined consumer base. It’s not enough to just have a functional business plan, social media profiles, and potential consumers in place for a startup to succeed.

Thinking Skills - Communication - Teamwork & leadership - Lifelong Learning & Self Direction - Technology Use - Ethics & Professionalism - Personal Management are basic must have.

1. People with abilities

People are often cited as an entrepreneur’s most valuable asset, and as such, you should make them a high focus in your business strategy. Your co-founder or other members of your team may come to mind when you think of the most significant individuals in your company. The talent, expertise, and skillsets of these employees are what will propel your firm to success no matter what position they hold.

Make a list of the skills you need to fill gaps in your team and look for people that are enthusiastic about your company’s mission. There is fierce competition for talent in several sectors and business divisions. Depending on the industry, there may be a significantly greater selection of candidates.

Find the perfect individuals for your organisation by asking your social network, attending conferences, and searching internet markets. If you appreciate what they have to offer, consider allowing them to work from home. In certain cases, you may not have to pay them as much since they work in a cheaper cost of living area.

Regardless of how busy you are expanding the firm, don’t dismiss or disregard a new hire once they start working for you. Provide plenty of interesting and hard initiatives while maintaining open lines of communication and routinely sharing what’s going on in the startup. Make sure your employees realise how much of the company’s success is due to their excitement, ideas, and hard work as you create it.

2. Corporate culture

In tech organisations, as in manufacturing or retail businesses, company culture is just as critical. This is due to the fact that the culture of a startup generally attracts top-tier talent. It’s also what motivates employees to show up for work every day. In addition to being a motivator, a company’s culture sets the tone for how everyone should behave, work, and respect one other.

Because your culture represents your beliefs and the way you view others, it may be of interest to those outside of your firm. Companies that promote themselves as socially conscious, ecologically friendly, or places where employees are encouraged to learn new things will want to see those values reflected in the company’s culture

Write out what your firm’s culture means and make it available to your workforce, including new hires as you expand your company. As a startup entrepreneur, your words and deeds have an impact on the surrounding environment. Regularly discuss and prepare activities or events that showcase the distinguishing features of the corporate culture.

3. A distinct strategic vision

It all begins with an image the creator paints in his or her mind. The creator knows exactly what they want to accomplish and how to get there. For example, the same vision may be used to excite investors and venture capitalists (VCs) as well as customers and the media alike. These folks need to know what you’re trying to accomplish as a new company.

Having an idea of what the future will look and feel like is essential when planning for it. Even if the company does well or poorly in the future, its image serves as a constant reference point.

It’s the vision that directs the pivot if you need to make a shift. What you decide to invest in, what product or service you produce, and how much time and money you devote to it will all be guided by your clear strategic vision.

Again, make a note of your vision, explain it to others, and make many allusions to it throughout your work. It’s important to highlight your long-term goals and how they’ll help you achieve your vision while discussing short-term goals.

A great firm will look different in three, five, and ten years from now, so show your employees how you envision it. The vision statement should provide a sense of the company’s culture and core values while keeping focused on its strategic goals.

If you want people to take action on your vision, write it in the present tense, even though it depicts what the future will look like. Keep the language basic and clear so that everyone can comprehend and appreciate it.

All the best!
