Corporations Are Built Not Brought

People look at big Corporations in awe, wishing they had the money to start such a business and reap the huge profits, but lacking the funds they shelve their ideas and instead look at the myriad of startups offerring instant riches or fast cash.

This attitude that unless you have a fistful of dollars to invest in a business venture your going to fail is very wrong and holds back a lot of potential advances in technology, this attitude is very wrong and couldn't be further from the truth.

All the worlds largest and most stable coporations started with very little cash and no workforce apart from one or two people that shared a common idea, these people didn't wait until they could raise millions of dollars to implement their ideas they rolled up their shirt sleeves and got stuck into turning their dream into reality.

Money is not the key to building a mega million dollar corporation, the secret is "Elbow Grease" and "Passion", these are the key ingredients to building a business that can stand the test of time and economy, survive the stock market crashes and leap over every road block placed in their path.

Unless you build a business from the ground up and have a deep inset passion to succeed you can't really understand what makes any business tick, you need to know every process in your business intimately if you are to run the business efficiently and build stability and longevity into it, you can't get this knowledge sitting behind a desk in your office you need to go to the shop floor roll up those sleeves and get stuck in.

You can study all the business courses on this planet but they will not help you create a corporation that can stand the test of time unless you have a deep seated passion for the products or services your company is going to offer.

Donald Trump once summed up business with a statement "In order to Sell you first have to Love your products" he then went on to explain that it's not enough to just like what they do you have to understand every stage of their crreation, you have to have intimate and deep knowledge of each product and it's capabilities, knowledge you can't get from a brochure or a tech manual information that is only available by actually being involved in the whole product creation process from raw materials through to finished product then taking that product and using it yourself everyday until you understand what makes it good and where it fails.

Building a business is much like that product you need to understand your business in the same way it doesn't require money it requires hard work and a burning desire to turn a raw idea into a successful business venture, money comes in much later when you have created your prototype business and thoroughly tested it's capabilities and your ready to launch it into the market place.

Even then you don't need masses of money especially if your business is built on solid principles and ethics, still today the most effective advertising is free, yes i am talking about word of mouth.

The key to word of mouth advertising is supplying above average service and support to everyone that comes tthough your businesses doors, the higher the level of service you provide those first few early clients the faster word will spread about your business.

So if you have an idea for a business but are holding back because you lack the funds or think you lack the money to make it worthwhile  think again roll up your sleeves and apply a little elbow grease who knows you might just have started the next Google or Facebook.
