The business and business
To be employed or employ?
“If you wish to have so much money, how many had no earlier, you should be engaged in in what was not engaged” earlier. For the majority of yesterday's schoolboys and students a word “good work” sounds as the gate of paradise opening in the world of new novel possibilities. Independence. Independence. Self-expression. Development of the person. Stability. But, unfortunately, in this life it is necessary to pay for all.
Having looked narrowly, the yesterday's student with surprise finds out, that seeming stability and independence appears depending on a financial condition and a policy of the company on which it works.
That independence in this case is a criterion only in relation to own aged parents.
That self-expression and development of the person depends on current requirements of the company-employer. One more unpleasant opening which is done by the yesterday's student – here do not aspire to pay to you for work and perceive it only as a compulsory measure of maintenance of business. On the contrary, a business basic formula: “What for to pay, if it is possible not to pay?” If you are a large expert and in good relations with the employer sooner or later will hear from it, that the greatest good luck in dialogue with you is that it has found such class expert in such favourable price.
Very well such tendency is traced in regions where the owner of business, as a rule, “the tsar and the god” for the hired employees – I want to crying, I do not want – I do not cry. About that, how many years and winters will proceed here its this business, he does not think. In effect, it can same organise any another at any moment. Generally he wished to buy the car, to construct a summer residence, to send the son to study to Moscow. By the way, how think, if all of you still work in such organisation is for you stable work on which you hold on at least pair-three years? Besides, there is such concept as “the seasonal worker” – you are employed for any season or спецпроект, with pleasure use, then suddenly dismiss for any far-fetched reasons.
Wage labour payment decreases with the years, instead of increases, as it would be reasonable to assume. And to pension in general reaches a zero point. Though the person has fulfilled all life and has got considerable experience (listen to our pensioners – they are right that have caught idea of this injustice. But, in most cases, and have not understood – "why").
But the main thing – is not present freedom. The usual working day of the usual hired employee is 10-12-часовой a marathon including moving to a place of work and a way, actually, home. Half of life.
There is freedom at any time no year to break and go on a week, say, to the friend to Switzerland. Simply so, on skis to drive … There is no freedom without damage to own purse to tell to the employer "is not present", if it has started the project ruining your business reputation. There is no freedom to be engaged in that is necessary for you and it is interesting. There is no freedom to receive for the work so much, how many you really earn. For example, having created once for the owner for the salary any service, you lose the right of possession to it, and your owner repeatedly перепродаёт your work, receiving considerable profit. And, at last, there is no freedom not to work in general.
Having understood all "injustice" of the position, just on this place the former hired worker, as a rule, decides to open own practice (as the private expert) or to construct own business. Certainly, it is possible to speak about organizational model of business by hours, but it do not aim the given narration. We will stop on psychology …
The greatest unpleasant unexpectedness for the former hired worker consists that its installations, rules and its got experience any more do not operate. Even on the contrary – yield losses.
First, he has got used to be guided by someone's estimations – aspires “to build a facade” to the business instead of considering money and to operate from within. The criticism of possible business partners, potential clients and other "especially clever" persons confuses him. After all he has got used to trust authorities, to read classics, to go on meetings and to refer to sources.
Council here can be only one – to get fundamental education on interesting questions: management, investments, the accounts department, marketing to study experience of successful businessmen. Certainly, putting all it into practice.
But especially valuable quality in business is art of sales. To sell the services is does not mean to give magnificent “the resume скилзов” to the client (it not the employer, and him with it you you will not surprise), it means – to show it obvious benefit from your service, to receive from it money (which will provide to you appropriate profit) and to provide with its service or the goods in the declared terms with the declared quality. In an ideal if the client addresses to you under someone's recommendation.
On the Internet the weight of sites which dazzle with statements for remarkable properties of production sold by owners, but in few places is instructions on what this production can be obviously favourable to the client. It is not useful, namely it is favourable. If see aforementioned расклад be assured – such business was started by the former hired workers, white collars, the intelligent managers who have got good education and aspiring to show it now. As a rule, it is enough young men (20-25 years), for which given business – the first and which they perceive as a certain fascinating game.
Secondly, the hired worker has got used to work all night long, that is personally to be engaged in all affairs – instead of to entrust powers to the qualified experts, placing them in places. It is difficult to it to understand, that cost of its personal time much more above, than cost of time of its hired workers. For this time he needs to solve serious enough organizational questions including a question of expansion of sale, instead of to practise in intellectual competition to the experts. Besides, it is difficult to it to understand, that quality of given services can and not to be made, however it should satisfy demand completely.
Thirdly, the former hired worker is guided first of all by desire to earn money and thus to feel abrupt and undividedly free, but just it is obviously not enough this desire to construct successful business. The most successful business becomes only when it is really useful and favourable as much as possible to a considerable quantity of people.
And, fourthly, the former hired worker understands concrete firm or the organisation which is engaged in concrete business as a word "business". While business is the ordered set of subjects, the organisations or the people providing constantly accruing monetary stream without your direct participation. If you the expert with the command, independently rendering own services, at you – private practice, instead of business.
So, from the psychological point of view if you have dared to construct own business or private practice, you fairly should answer following questions:
- Whether there is at you an idea concerning you wish to offer what goods and service?
- Whether there are at you the potential clients, ready to buy this service?
- What on it real demand, whether it will decrease, raise?
- Whether there is at you a command of carefully picked up experts in those areas which you interest?
- Whether you possess base knowledge in the field of sales, the finance and investments, the current legislation, management psychology?
- What should you and are ready to invest in your business – quantity of money, quantity of time, personal expenditures of labour?
- And, at last, that you will do, if your service / the goods suddenly start to use mad demand?
Not to everyone allowed to become the magnate and to play in a large way. But to everyone quite on forces to provide to itself inflow of the money resources which are not dependent on weather, a state of health, the whims of the chief varying of political predilections and other complexities of a life … For managed successfully to construct the business once, can construct and the second.
