The Fresh Look at How to Startup

avatar

Humans have a habit of glorifying failures rather than success.

Case in point?

Go to Google and type, “How many startups,” and the suggestion box will show:

  • How many startups fail
  • How many startups fail each year
  • How many startups in the US
  • Get the point?

There are no search results like how to start a startup or how to start a tech startup company in the US.

No.

We want to know how we fail and not how we succeed.

Well, let’s change it. Shall we?

In this blog, we will talk about how to accurately start a startup and get it to the stage of launch.

Starting from the reasons to start a startup, we will discuss idea generation, idea validation, hiring a team, marketing, and how to raise funds.

The Reasons to Start a Startup

Some start it for money, others want to help, and some want to make a difference. There are many reasons for this:

  • Elon Musk wants to change the world radically and he is still doing that.
  • Jeff Bezos wanted to create an everything store, and today Amazon sells truly everything under the sky.
  • Bill Gates’ Microsoft is the fruit of his vision.
  • Steve Jobs started Apple because he wanted a personal computer.

Notice something?

None of the world’s most successful founders and entrepreneurs were looking to make money.

At least not directly.

They did not have a guide to build a startup and knew how to go about it.

But, they did have the motivation, a set plan, and the dedication to work for their dreams.

We have boiled down the top reasons to know how to start a tech startup company.

Visionary and Entrepreneurial Passion

Are you the next Elon musk and looking to build a colony on Jupiter?

Visionary startups founders can be called mad geniuses.

These are the people who are always thinking of new ways to bring the company to new heights.

The motive is to create innovative products and realize ideas that others can only imagine.

Traits of Visionary Entrepreneurs by Founder Institute:

Extroversion

Extroversion means to be talkative, assertive, and enthusiastic about everything.

This helps absorb new ideas and get a hold of what others think.

Entrepreneurs are 40% more extroverted than others.

Being an extrovert is good for your business period.

And we are beginning our discussion on how to make a startup from here to help you find out your zen.

So, to become an extrovert, you need to:

  • Start talking
  • Go Out
  • Join groups and discussions
  • Smile often
  • Listen actively
  • Be aware

Openness

Being open about everything lets you absorb more, and when you absorb more, you learn more.

Plus, founders with this trait are more inventive and creative.

On the scale of openness, the entrepreneurs are at a spot 20% higher than average.

Openness here means that the founder needs to let the ideas flow from all the directions and practice using both sides of the brain.

Remember, it does not only take intelligence to start a startup. You must also know how to be creative.

If intelligence was the only thing required, Einstein or Newton would have set up empires.

Fluid Intelligence

Intelligence may not be the only thing, but it is required.
This trait helps solve problems and complete challenges.

And trust us, you will face challenges in your journey.

But, there is nothing that a visionary entrepreneur cannot tame.

On average, entrepreneurs are 10% more intelligent than non-founders.

To completely understand how to start a start up, you need to gain fluid intelligence.

And to gain this ability, be creative, don’t move away from challenges, and socialize as much as can.

In other words, every experience is the grist for your mill.
